1Productivity
If traditional static deployment methods are used, then system simplicity is maintained, but resource utilization efficiency deteriorates due to inability to adapt to fluctuating order volumes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic agent deployment by transitioning from static deployment configurations to adaptive deployment that responds to real-time order volume fluctuations. The system continuously monitors order volumes and dynamically adjusts the number of deployed agents, enabling the deployment strategy to adapt to changing workload conditions and optimize resource utilization efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms where the system monitors actual order volumes and deployment effectiveness, then uses this information to continuously optimize future deployment decisions. The feedback loop enables the system to learn from past performance and adjust deployment strategies to improve resource utilization over time.
2Productivity
If more agents are deployed to handle peak orders, then order processing capacity is improved, but resource waste increases during low-volume periods
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts agent deployment levels based on real-time order volume monitoring. During peak periods, more agents are deployed to handle increased workload, while during low-volume periods, fewer agents are deployed to minimize resource consumption. This dynamic adjustment eliminates the need to maintain excessive agents during low-demand periods while ensuring sufficient capacity during peaks.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the deployment parameter (number of agents) based on varying order volume conditions. By adjusting this key parameter dynamically rather than maintaining a fixed deployment level, the system optimizes the balance between processing capacity and resource consumption across different operational periods.
3Loss of energy
If fewer agents are deployed to reduce costs, then resource consumption is optimized, but ability to handle order volume fluctuations deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system maintains adaptability to order fluctuations by implementing dynamic deployment adjustments. When order volumes increase, the system quickly scales up agent deployment to handle the surge. When volumes decrease, it scales down to optimize resource consumption. This dynamic capability ensures the system can adapt to fluctuations without maintaining excessive baseline resources.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs preliminary actions by predicting future order volumes based on historical data and trends, then proactively adjusting agent deployment before peak periods occur. This predictive capability allows the system to prepare appropriate resource levels in advance, ensuring adequate capacity is available when needed while avoiding resource waste during lower-demand periods.

AI summary
A method for managing order processing includes obtaining a set of time series datasets associated with the order processing for an order processing system, generating forecasting parameters of the time series datasets using gradient recurrent units (GRU) and a latent space embedding, performing a cosine similarity of the forecasting parameters to obtain probability distributions of forecasting models, performing a stochastic optimization on the forecasting parameters using a two-stage cost-reward analysis to obtain intermediate parameters, obtaining finalized forecasting parameters based on the intermediate parameters, and initiating an agent deployment on the order processing system based on the finalized forecasting parameters.
