Solution Overview

Problem

Current digital work creation methods involve high costs and complex management, failing to fully utilize professional expertise due to coarse granularity in project tasks, leading to inefficient collaboration and resource wastage.

Innovation Solution

A digital work collaborative creation method that divides tasks into finer subtasks with defined dependency relationships, allowing creators to work on subtasks in a creatable state, ensuring correct order and efficient collaboration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the creation task of the entire digital work is taken as the granularity for project entrusting, then the project undertaker can manage the creation process, but the project organization costs including communication costs, trust costs, and management costs increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecreation efficiencyVSAvoidproject organization complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the entire digital work creation task into multiple independent subtasks with fine granularity. Each subtask can be independently entrusted to different professionals based on their expertise. This segmentation reduces the complexity of project organization by breaking down the monolithic creation process into manageable units, thereby lowering communication and management costs while maintaining or improving creation efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If the creation task of the entire digital work is taken as the granularity, then the project undertaker can control the creation process, but finding suitable related-field professionals becomes difficult and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprofessional expertise matchingVSAvoidtime to find suitable professionals
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the creation task into fine-grained subtasks, the patent enables precise matching of professionals to specific subtasks based on their expertise. This eliminates the need to find professionals who are knowledgeable about all aspects of the entire digital work, significantly reducing the time required to assemble a competent team while improving the reliability of expertise matching.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Productivity

If professionals are attached to certain organizations to participate in creation tasks, then they can be managed and compensated, but factors such as interpersonal relationships, performance evaluation, and compensation allocation generate internal problems that interfere with work

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecreation efficiencyVSAvoidinternal organizational interference
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts professionals from traditional organizational structures and creates a direct connection between professionals and subtasks through a platform. This extraction removes professionals from the harmful organizational environment filled with interpersonal conflicts, performance evaluation pressures, and compensation disputes, allowing them to focus purely on their creative work while still receiving proper compensation and recognition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

4Manufacturing precision

If the creation task of the entire digital work is taken as the granularity, then the project undertaker can ensure comprehensive quality control, but each professional's work amount in their specialized field is limited and human resources are wasted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecreation qualityVSAvoidwaste of human resources
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the creation task into multiple subtasks that can be distributed to different professionals based on their expertise. This allows each professional to work on subtasks that fully utilize their specialized knowledge and skills, increasing both the quality of their contributions and the overall quantity of work produced. Professionals can simultaneously work on multiple subtasks across different projects, maximizing resource utilization and eliminating waste.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

According to a digital work collaborative creation method, a collaborative creation task is divided into a plurality of sub-tasks which have a dependency relationship and which comprise subtask description information, so that the collaborative creation task can be divided into sub-tasks which have finer granularity and the dependency relationship for creators to create. Sub-tasks in a creatable state are provided to the creators to input creation information according to the subtask description information. Creation information of the creators for the sub-tasks is received to generate execution content of the sub-task, and achieve the collaborative creation of digital work, creators skilled in the field of the sub-task can create according to a creation state to ensure that tasks are created in the correct order and on the basis of consummate basic information, thereby providing a more effective mode for the collaborative creation of tasks. Thus, the defects in the prior art that creation methods for digital work carry high costs, are complex to manage, and do not allow for the full exertion of the professional expertise of professionals are overcome.
