Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual design evaluation methods are used, then design customization can be performed, but measurement precision and productivity are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesign effectiveness measurementVSAvoiddesign evaluation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual design evaluation methods with an automated system that uses machine learning models to evaluate design metrics. The system automatically processes user session data, generates digital representations of user-perceived content, and computes design evaluation metrics without human intervention, thereby improving both measurement precision and productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service design evaluation by automatically capturing user session information, generating digital representations of content, and evaluating design metrics without requiring manual analysis. The automated process serves itself by continuously monitoring user interactions and producing evaluation reports independently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If designs are customized for different computing devices and viewers, then adaptability improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesign adaptation capabilityVSAvoidconfiguration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic design adaptation by automatically adjusting digital platform configurations based on real-time design evaluation metrics. The system dynamically modifies platform parameters such as content presentation, layout, and formatting according to evaluated design effectiveness, enabling flexible adaptation without manual configuration complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses feedback loops where design evaluation metrics are continuously monitored and fed back into the configuration process. The automated evaluation of user session data provides feedback that triggers automatic configuration modifications, enabling adaptive designs while simplifying the configuration process through automated decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

An apparatus includes a processing device configured to capture user session information associated with one or more user sessions involving interaction of users with a digital platform and to generate, utilizing the captured user session information, a digital representation of user-perceived content of one or more portions of the digital platform that the users interacted with as part of the one or more user sessions. The at least one processing device is also configured to determine, utilizing the digital representation of the user-perceived content, one or more design evaluation metrics for a design of the one or more portions of the digital platform that the users interacted with as part of the one or more user sessions and to automatically modify a configuration of at least one of the one or more portions of the digital platform based at least in part on the determined design evaluation metrics.
