Solution Overview

Problem

Current talent network management systems lack the ability to effectively assess the trustworthiness of experts and provide personalized recommendations, relying on tabular data and predefined parameters, which limits customization and efficiency in finding suitable experts.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that utilize a processor-based expert ranking measurement subsystem to compute quantitative and qualitative scores for experts, incorporating connection relationships, professional achievements, content, activity, and user preferences, to generate an overall rank and provide personalized expert recommendations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If tabular data and predefined parameters are used for talent network management, then the system structure is simple, but the system lacks the ability to effectively assess expert trustworthiness and provide personalized recommendations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to assess expert trustworthinessVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the expert assessment into multiple independent components: trust metric (based on connection relationships), talent metric (based on professional achievements), content score (based on provided content), and activity score (based on profile activities). Each component is calculated separately and then integrated to form the overall expert ranking, allowing comprehensive assessment while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular calculation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If tabular data is used for talent network management, then data storage is simple, but significant human intervention is required and data handling becomes time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata handling efficiencyVSAvoidtime for human intervention
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service by automatically computing trust metrics, talent metrics, content scores, and activity scores without requiring human intervention. The processor-based subsystems automatically retrieve data from the talent network, perform calculations according to predefined algorithms, and generate expert rankings, eliminating the time-consuming manual data handling process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If predefined parameters are used for user selection, then the system is easy to operate, but the system is very limited in terms of providing options and customization

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustomization optionsVSAvoidsystem operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic customization by allowing users to adjust weights for different metric components (trust metric, talent metric, content score, activity score) based on their specific needs. The system dynamically recalculates expert rankings according to user-defined preferences, providing flexible customization while maintaining ease of operation through a user-friendly interface for parameter adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
