Solution Overview

Problem

Current survey engagement systems are inadequate as they rely on probabilistic modeling based on past user behaviors, failing to leverage real-time data analytics for customized assessments and optimized resource utilization.

Innovation Solution

A distributed, end-to-end assessment framework dynamically generates and distributes surveys by determining which respondents to engage, how many questions to ask, and which questions to include, based on real-time data analytics and machine learning models, enabling personalized and quantified question distribution.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If probabilistic modeling based on past user behaviors is used to predict respondent engagement, then system resources can be managed, but respondent engagement and data collection effectiveness deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata collection effectivenessVSAvoidrespondent engagement
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic survey generation that adapts to each respondent's real-time behavior and preferences, transitioning from static probabilistic models to dynamic customization. The system adjusts survey content, timing, and distribution based on live data analytics, thereby improving both engagement and data collection effectiveness simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates real-time feedback loops where respondent responses and engagement patterns are continuously analyzed to optimize subsequent survey distributions. This feedback mechanism allows the system to learn from past interactions and improve future engagement strategies, resolving the contradiction between resource management and engagement quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If generic surveys are distributed to all respondents, then system resources are conserved, but response rates and data quality deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse rateVSAvoidsurvey customization complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the respondent population into distinct groups based on behavior patterns, preferences, and engagement history. This segmentation enables targeted survey distribution where customized surveys are sent to specific segments, improving response rates without requiring full customization for every single respondent, thus balancing quality with complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes survey parameters such as question selection, survey length, and distribution timing based on respondent characteristics. By adjusting these parameters automatically through algorithms, the system achieves personalized survey experiences without manual intervention, managing the complexity through automated parameter optimization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If real-time data analytics and customized assessments are implemented, then respondent engagement improves, but system resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverespondent engagementVSAvoidsystem resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements partial customization where only critical survey elements are personalized based on respondent profiles, while other elements remain standardized. This partial action approach maintains high engagement levels by personalizing key aspects without the full resource cost of complete customization across all survey components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary analysis of respondent profiles and preferences before survey distribution, pre-segmenting audiences and pre-selecting relevant survey content. This preliminary action reduces real-time processing requirements and resource consumption during actual survey deployment while maintaining high engagement through targeted personalization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Disclosed are systems and methods for an assessment framework that operates to dynamically generate customized surveys for recipient-respondent pairs. The customized surveys can have curated questions dynamically selected and/or provided from recipients based on, but not limited to, which recipients a respondent should give feedback to, how many questions the respondent should answer, and which questions in particular, the respondent should answer. The disclosed framework can automatically and dynamically customize surveys for individual respondents, and/or sets of respondents, according to the selected questions included therein and/or from which recipients they are sent from (or on their behalf).
