Solution Overview

Problem

The efficiency of evaluating service quality in Online to Offline (O2O) applications is low due to the need for users to operate mobile devices with both hands to provide descriptive text evaluations, which is inefficient and inconvenient.

Innovation Solution

A service quality evaluation method that uses a terminal device to obtain and display candidate evaluation phrases based on analyzed data, allowing users to select and submit evaluations with one hand by determining action types from device movements, thereby improving efficiency and accuracy of service quality assessments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users provide descriptive text evaluations by operating mobile devices with both hands, then evaluation content can be detailed and specific, but evaluation efficiency becomes low and operation becomes inconvenient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidevaluation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-provides a plurality of candidate evaluation phrases related to the target service before the user needs to evaluate. These candidate phrases are prepared in advance based on the service type and context, so when the user needs to evaluate, they can directly select from pre-prepared options rather than typing from scratch, thus improving efficiency while maintaining evaluation quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses gesture recognition to copy the user's natural hand movements and translates them into evaluation selections. By capturing the gesture trajectory and matching it with predefined gesture patterns, the system converts simple hand gestures into meaningful evaluation actions, allowing one-handed operation while maintaining detailed evaluation capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Loss of information

If users manually enter text for service quality evaluation, then personalized information content can be provided, but the operation requires both hands and reduces efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalized information contentVSAvoidtime for evaluation
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Candidate evaluation phrases are pre-generated and stored in the system before evaluation is needed. These phrases contain personalized information content relevant to different service types (e.g., taxi service, food delivery). When evaluation is required, users can quickly select from these pre-prepared personalized phrases without manually typing, thus preserving information quality while reducing time consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces the mechanical text input process (typing with keyboard) with gesture-based selection. By using acceleration sensors and gyroscopes to detect hand gestures, the system translates physical gestures into digital selection actions, substituting the manual typing mechanism with a more efficient gesture recognition mechanism that preserves one-handed operation capability

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

3Productivity

If traditional text entry method is used for evaluation, then users can provide detailed feedback, but the process becomes monotonous and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation efficiencyVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system copies the user's natural gesture movements and interprets them as evaluation selections. By recording the gesture trajectory (starting point, ending point, intermediate points) and matching it with predefined gesture templates, the system converts simple physical gestures into complex evaluation actions, reducing operational complexity while maintaining evaluation efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces gesture recognition technology as an intermediary between the user's hand movement and the evaluation selection. The acceleration sensor, gyroscope, and gesture recognition algorithm act as intermediaries that translate physical gestures into digital commands, simplifying the user's interaction while maintaining system intelligence and evaluation quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
