Solution Overview

Problem

Existing messaging systems lack an efficient way to aggregate and consolidate event occurrence feedback data, such as attendance and communication messages, for event creators, requiring users to perform multiple search queries and navigate dispersed data across different platforms.

Innovation Solution

An apparatus and method to generate an event occurrence feedback report that aggregates event-related data, including attendance scores and communication segments, using a group-based communication system, and presents it to the event creator in a consolidated format.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If event feedback data is stored in dispersed locations across different platforms, then data completeness is improved, but data retrieval complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata completenessVSAvoiddata retrieval complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges event feedback data from multiple dispersed sources (messaging platform, event platform, file sharing platform) into a single consolidated feedback report. The system retrieves data from different platforms and combines them into one unified report that presents all event-related information in a single location, eliminating the need for users to search across multiple platforms.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Measurement precision

If users search for event feedback data across multiple platforms, then information accuracy is improved, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveinformation accuracyVSAvoidtime consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically retrieving and consolidating event feedback data from multiple platforms before the user needs it. The feedback report is generated and made available to users in advance, eliminating the need for them to manually search across platforms when they need the information.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary system that acts as a mediator between users and dispersed data sources. This intermediary automatically queries multiple platforms, retrieves relevant event feedback data, and presents it in a consolidated format, saving users time while maintaining information accuracy.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If event feedback data is distributed across multiple platforms, then data accessibility is improved, but user efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata accessibilityVSAvoiduser efficiency

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines event feedback data from multiple accessible platforms into a single consolidated report. While data remains accessible across platforms, the system merges it into one unified view that improves user efficiency by eliminating the need to navigate multiple platforms to gather complete event feedback information.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)
