Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional systems require manual scheduling and specific instructions for fund transfers, making it inconvenient for users to manage and determine transfer amounts, especially for recurring or automated transactions based on user activity.

Innovation Solution

A transfer platform that automates fund transfers by using user activity data from various sources to determine transfer amounts based on predefined criteria, allowing users to set activity types and values, and automatically executing transfers between source and destination accounts.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual scheduling and specific instructions are required for fund transfers, then transfer accuracy and control are improved, but user convenience and ease of operation deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransfer accuracyVSAvoiduser convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically determines transfer amounts by monitoring user activity data from various sources (social media, emails, texts, calls) and executing transfers based on predefined criteria without requiring manual user intervention. The system serves itself by autonomously calculating transfer amounts based on activity values assigned to different communication channels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

Users pre-configure transfer criteria, activity values for different communication channels, and destination accounts in advance. The system then automatically executes transfers based on these pre-set parameters when specified user activities occur, eliminating the need for real-time manual decisions while maintaining accuracy through predefined rules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If automated transfers based on user activity are implemented, then ease of operation and productivity are improved, but device complexity and system requirements worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransfer execution efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system monitors multiple types of user activities across different communication channels (social media posts, emails, text messages, phone calls) using a single unified platform. The same core system handles diverse activity types by assigning different activity values to different channels, reducing the need for separate specialized systems for each communication type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses an intermediary approach by integrating with existing communication platforms and data sources through APIs and data feeds. Rather than building proprietary monitoring systems for each channel, the transfer system acts as an intermediary that aggregates activity data from multiple external sources and processes them through a unified transfer execution engine.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Device complexity

If manual transfer scheduling is required, then system complexity is reduced, but time consumption and loss of time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem simplicityVSAvoidtime for managing transfers
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system continuously monitors user activity data across all configured communication channels in real-time, automatically detecting when transfer criteria are met and executing transfers immediately. This continuous monitoring and automatic execution eliminates the need for users to periodically check and manually initiate transfers, saving significant time while the system handles the complexity of continuous data processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

AI summary

A transfer platform can allow users to participate in campaigns based on one or more types of user activity data and corresponding activity values set by the users. The transfer platform can receive the user activity data from one or more sources, such as user devices and data source platforms. Based on received user activity data, and corresponding activity values, the transfer platform can determine transfer amounts to be transferred from one or more source accounts to one or more destination accounts. Accordingly, the transfer platform can implement transfers based on user activity data that indicates user engagement in one or more activity types.
