Innovation Solution
A logic processing system that uses a graphical user interface and a rules engine to analyze inputs about situations and actors, providing advice and tracking progress through a set of indicators and strategies based on social science research, including influence methods and scoring functions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If social science research on influencing actors is applied in a systematic and practical manner, then effectiveness of influence strategies is improved, but complexity of the system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the complex task of influence strategy application into distinct functional modules: a rules engine that processes social science research principles, a graphical user interface for user interaction, and a progress tracking mechanism. This segmentation allows each component to handle specific aspects of influence analysis independently, making the overall system more manageable while maintaining systematic application of research findings.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary rules engine that mediates between the complex social science research and the user interface. This intermediary layer translates research principles into actionable advice and automatically processes inputs about situations and actors, reducing the direct complexity burden on the user while maintaining systematic application of the research.
2Measurement precision
If a systematic approach is provided for analyzing and evaluating influence strategies, then accuracy of evaluation is improved, but ease of operation decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service through automated progress tracking and evaluation functions. The rules engine automatically analyzes inputs about situations and actors, applies social science research principles, and generates evaluations without requiring manual analysis by the user. This automation maintains high measurement precision while significantly improving ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms that automatically track progress in influence strategies and provide evaluations based on tracked data. This feedback loop enables the system to maintain accurate evaluation by continuously monitoring situation changes while presenting results in an user-friendly format, bridging the gap between precision and ease of operation.
3Reliability
If tracking progress over time is implemented for evaluating influence strategies, then reliability of evaluation is improved, but loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system maintains continuity of useful action by automatically tracking progress over time without requiring discontinuous user intervention. The rules engine continuously monitors and evaluates situation changes, ensuring reliable long-term evaluation while minimizing time loss through automated rather than manual tracking.
Data Source
AI summary
A method and/or system that can be implemented on a computing device or tables or board game or otherwise uses a rule set to evaluate data about a situation and actors in order to provide advice regarding strategies for influencing actors and/or other outputs.
