Solution Overview

Problem

Existing digital assistants face challenges in meeting the diversified man-machine dialogue needs of users, as they require users to have knowledge of different processing tools (plug-ins) and are limited in configuring task topics by developers only.

Innovation Solution

A method of information processing where a first server of a digital assistant generates a message based on a trigger request from a client under a task topic created by an external server, sends this message to the external server for processing, and returns the processed message to the client, thereby enabling diverse man-machine dialogues.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If developers configure task topics manually, then the digital assistant can process specific tasks, but the system cannot meet diversified user needs and users must know about different processing tools

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to meet diversified user needsVSAvoiduser knowledge requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between users and processing tools. The server automatically matches user requests with appropriate task topics and processing tools, eliminating the need for users to directly select or understand processing tools. This mediator handles the complexity internally while presenting a simplified interface to users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by allowing the server to automatically configure and select task topics based on user input without manual intervention. The server autonomously processes requests, retrieves historical data, and determines appropriate processing tools, making the system self-adaptive to user needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If the system supports multiple task topics, then it can handle diverse scenarios, but users find it difficult to select appropriate processing tools

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetask topic diversityVSAvoiduser operation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The server acts as an intermediary that shields users from the complexity of multiple task topics. Instead of requiring users to understand and select from various task topics and processing tools, the server automatically routes requests to the appropriate task topic based on the user input, maintaining ease of operation while supporting diversity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments the complexity of task topic selection and processing tool configuration into separate server-side operations. Users interact with a simplified interface while the server handles the segmentation of request analysis, task topic selection, and tool configuration as distinct automated processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Manufacturing precision

If developers manually configure each task topic, then task processing is precise, but the system lacks flexibility to adapt to new user requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetask processing accuracyVSAvoidsystem flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system transitions from static manual configuration to dynamic automated configuration. The server dynamically selects and configures task topics based on real-time user input and historical data, allowing the system to adapt flexibly to new requirements while maintaining processing accuracy through automated decision-making algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameters of task topic configuration from fixed manual settings to dynamic automated parameters. The server adjusts task topic selection, historical data retrieval, and processing tool configuration based on varying user needs, enabling both precision and flexibility through parameter optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A method of information processing, an electronic device and a storage medium are provided. The method includes generating a first message based on information indicated by a trigger request from a client of the digital assistant under a first task topic in response to the trigger request; sending the first message to a second server to cause the second server to process the trigger request under the first task topic, the second server being a creator of the first task topic; and receiving a second message returned by the second server and sending the second message to the client of the digital assistant.
