Solution Overview

Problem

Automated portfolio management systems lack personalization and fail to provide customized financial information alerts tailored to users' specific needs, sophistication levels, and life events, leading to sub-optimal advice and services.

Innovation Solution

A system that dynamically adjusts alert parameters based on user indicators such as online behavior, market conditions, and life events, using techniques like Latent Dirichlet Allocation, keyword matching, and natural language processing to deliver personalized alerts through various channels like emails, text messages, and mobile notifications.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If automated portfolio management systems use standardized alert delivery, then system complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but personalization and user experience deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidpersonalization
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts alert parameters including frequency, timing, and content based on real-time analysis of user behavior indicators, market conditions, and life events. This transforms static standardized alerts into dynamic personalized notifications without requiring complex manual configuration from users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically monitors user interactions with alerts and portfolio data, then self-adjusts alert parameters to optimize personalization. User behavior patterns are analyzed and fed back into the alert delivery system, enabling automatic adaptation without user intervention or complex system configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If the system monitors multiple indicators and dynamically adjusts alert parameters, then personalization and user experience are improved, but device complexity and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovepersonalizationVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the personalization process into distinct modules: indicator monitoring module, user behavior analysis module, alert parameter adjustment module, and delivery module. Each module handles specific tasks independently, reducing overall system complexity while achieving comprehensive personalization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements continuous feedback loops where user responses to alerts are monitored and fed back into the parameter adjustment mechanism. This automated feedback system enables the system to learn and adapt to user preferences over time without requiring complex manual programming or configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Loss of time

If alert frequency is increased to provide more timely financial information, then information timeliness is improved, but information overload and user annoyance increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation timelinessVSAvoidinformation overload
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically changes alert frequency as a variable parameter based on market volatility, user engagement patterns, and portfolio sensitivity. During high-volatility periods or when users show high engagement, frequency increases; during stable periods or low engagement, frequency decreases, optimizing timeliness while preventing overload.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies partial alert delivery by selectively sending only the most relevant alerts based on user priorities and current market conditions. Rather than sending all possible alerts, the system filters and delivers only essential information, preventing overload while maintaining timeliness for critical events.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, and machine readable mediums which provide for customized alerts for a user. Alerts may be described by a set of alert parameters. Alert parameters include the type of alerts, the frequency of alerts, and the content of the alerts. While the alert parameters may initially be set based upon the users explicitly entered preferences, the system may monitor one or more indicators to dynamically adjust one or more of the alert parameters. As the indicators allow the automated portfolio management system to respond to the needs of a user, these alerts may increase the personalization of automated portfolio management systems.
