Solution Overview

Problem

Existing information processing systems, such as digital assistants, often struggle to provide personalized responses due to generalization in information processing capabilities, failing to account for the unique interaction habits and requirements of individual users.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that obtain and generate responses based on historical interaction information between a target object (user or organization) and service components, allowing configuration of the historical interaction data used by digital assistants to provide more tailored responses.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If digital assistants use generalization in information processing, then device complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but response accuracy and personalization are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidresponse accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments historical interaction information into different dimensions (interaction objects, interaction types, time periods) and selectively processes relevant segments. This allows the system to maintain simplicity while improving accuracy by focusing only on pertinent historical data rather than processing all information uniformly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic adjustment of historical interaction information based on user needs and context. The system adaptively selects which historical interactions to retrieve and how much weight to give them, transforming a static generalization approach into a dynamic personalized one without significantly increasing operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Measurement precision

If digital assistants utilize historical interaction information for personalized responses, then response accuracy is improved, but information processing complexity and computational resources are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse accuracyVSAvoidinformation processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the necessary historical interaction information relevant to the current query rather than processing all historical data. By selectively extracting pertinent interactions based on interaction objects, types, and time periods, the system improves response accuracy while minimizing processing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by retrieving and processing only a subset of historical interaction information that is most relevant to the current context. This avoids the excessive complexity of processing complete historical records while still achieving personalized accurate responses through selective partial processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Adaptability or versatility

If digital assistants access comprehensive historical interaction data, then response personalization is improved, but information processing time and user privacy risks are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse personalizationVSAvoidinformation processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary organization and categorization of historical interaction information by interaction objects, types, and time periods. This pre-structuring enables faster retrieval of relevant data during actual interactions, improving personalization response time while reducing the need to process comprehensive historical data from scratch each time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

4Adaptability or versatility

If digital assistants access comprehensive historical interaction data, then response personalization is improved, but security risks and user privacy exposure are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse personalizationVSAvoidprivacy exposure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the specific historical interaction information necessary for providing personalized responses, rather than accessing or storing comprehensive user data. This selective extraction approach enables personalization while minimizing privacy exposure by limiting access to only what is strictly necessary for the current interaction context.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
