Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If traditional search systems retrieve and present lists of links and resources, then users can access information, but the system requires significant user effort and provides limited useful and relevant answers

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser effortVSAvoidanswer relevance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical search result presentation (lists of links requiring manual browsing) with generative AI-based natural language synthesis. The system automatically processes search results and generates human-readable text documents that directly answer user queries, eliminating the need for users to manually navigate through multiple links and resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by having the search engine automatically curate, process, and synthesize information from multiple sources into coherent text documents. The generative AI models autonomously determine which information is most relevant and how to present it, without requiring user intervention or manual selection of sources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Quantity of substance

If the number of accessible resources continues to grow, then more information is available, but existing systems face technical challenges in providing prompt and accurate query responses

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveavailable informationVSAvoidresponse time
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and filters only the most relevant information from the vast amount of available resources using generative AI models. Instead of processing all accessible resources, the system intelligently identifies and extracts only the critical information needed to answer the query, significantly reducing processing time while maintaining accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary processing and filtering of information before generating final responses. By pre-processing and ranking potential sources based on relevance and reliability, the system prepares only the essential information for synthesis, enabling faster response times even as the total quantity of available resources grows.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If existing search systems provide lists of links and direct answers, then users can find information, but the systems lack efficiency and relevance in processing the ever-growing amount of available information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesearch efficiencyVSAvoidinformation relevance
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges and synthesizes information from multiple diverse sources into unified text documents. The generative AI models integrate insights from various resources, resolving conflicts and synthesizing coherent narratives that provide both efficiency and relevance, overcoming the limitations of simply presenting separate links and answers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the fundamental parameter of information presentation from discrete links and structured answers to continuous natural language text. This parameter change enables the system to process and present information more efficiently, adapting the format to better match user needs and improve relevance assessment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

This disclosure describes utilizing a generative document system to dynamically build and provide generative text documents using one or more generative artificial intelligence (AI) models. For example, the generative document system efficiently utilizes various systems and one or more generative AI models to determine intents and topics, curate topic sections, and generate a generative text document that includes a directed answer along with select curated topic sections for search queries. In various implementations, the generative document system performs additional actions that enhance the efficiency and accuracy of operations used to produce generative text documents. Additionally, in many cases, these generative text documents provide a foundation for providing an interactive, intuitive, wide-ranging, and flexible curation of answers to users that address the corresponding search queries.
