Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face challenges in resolving errors during the planning stage of complex systems, such as oil field drilling, due to the complexity of adjusting parameters and lack of effective assistance in software applications.
Innovation Solution
A computer system with a graphical user interface that uses hyperlinks and dashboards to identify out-of-limits conditions, allowing users to select recommendations for adjustments through reverse calculations and offering options to adjust parameters like pipe diameter and dogleg, with further analysis using empirical, statistical, or artificial intelligence methods.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a software application is used for planning complex systems with multiple adjustable parameters, then the system provides comprehensive planning capabilities, but it becomes difficult for users to resolve errors and understand how to adjust parameters correctly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary system that automatically analyzes errors and generates adjustment recommendations. This intermediary acts as a mediator between the user and the complex software application, translating error messages into actionable guidance without requiring users to understand the underlying complexity of the planning system.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service by automatically detecting errors, analyzing their causes, and generating correction recommendations without requiring external expert intervention. The software monitors its own operation, identifies parameter issues, and provides self-correction guidance, reducing the operational burden on users.
2Manufacturing precision
If the software provides detailed parameter adjustment options, then the system offers precise control over system configuration, but the complexity of the interface and operations increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the complex parameter adjustment process into distinct, manageable components. Each error or parameter issue is treated as a separate entity with its own analysis and recommendation, allowing users to address specific issues without being overwhelmed by the entire system's complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies local quality by providing context-specific guidance for each parameter adjustment need. Rather than presenting all possible adjustments uniformly, the software tailors recommendations to the specific error or parameter issue at hand, showing users only the relevant adjustment options needed to resolve their particular problem.
3Productivity
If the system automatically analyzes errors and generates recommendations, then error resolution efficiency improves, but the computational resources and processing time required increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements partial action by focusing computational resources on analyzing only the specific error or parameter issue at hand, rather than performing exhaustive analysis of the entire system. The system generates recommendations for the minimum necessary adjustments to resolve the identified problem, avoiding unnecessary computational overhead.
Data Source
AI summary
A plurality of input data to be used to compute a first output is received. The first output is computed. It is determined that the computed first output is outside a pre-determined first-output limit. A plurality of hyperlinks is displayed on a display device. Each hyperlink provides a link to a process for making adjustments to the plurality of input data to bring the first output within the pre-determined first-output limit. Selection of one of the plurality of hyperlinks (the “selected hyperlink”) is detected. A process associated with the selected hyperlink is followed to produce an adjustment to the plurality of input data to bring the first output within the first pre-determined first-output limit. The adjusted plurality of input data is used to plan implementation of a system. The sequence of selection of hyperlinks is tracked in order to reinforce the prioritization and order of future suggestions. The system is implemented.
