Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional methods fail to accurately determine the factors contributing to customers' intentions such as subscription, revisit, repurchase, or recommendation, and lack a display mechanism to easily grasp the extent of these contributions.

Innovation Solution

An information providing device and method that conducts multivariate analysis on customer evaluation data to calculate and visually display the contribution degrees of evaluation factors for contract, revisit, and recommendation intentions, using a network-capable terminal to output analysis results.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional questionnaire aggregation methods are used, then data collection is simple, but the ability to determine contribution degrees of evaluation factors to customer intentions is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontribution degree measurement precisionVSAvoidanalysis system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces multivariate analysis as an intermediary computational method between raw questionnaire data and contribution degree results. The analysis system uses regression analysis and factor analysis as mediators to transform evaluation data into quantified contribution degrees, resolving the contradiction by adding analytical complexity only where needed for precise measurement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters by transforming qualitative evaluation data into quantitative contribution degree parameters through statistical analysis. By converting evaluation scores into weighted contribution values, the system achieves precise measurement of factor contributions while managing complexity through parameter transformation rather than structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If detailed multivariate analysis is conducted, then contribution degrees are calculated accurately, but ease of grasping results deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontribution degree calculation accuracyVSAvoidease of grasping analysis results
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies color coding to visualize contribution degrees, where different colors represent different levels of contribution. This allows accurate multivariate analysis results to be displayed in an easily graspable visual format, resolving the contradiction by translating complex numerical data into intuitive color-based visual representations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system transforms one-dimensional numerical contribution degrees into two-dimensional visual displays with spatial positioning and sizing. By mapping contribution degrees to visual dimensions (position, size, color intensity), the system maintains calculation accuracy while dramatically improving ease of grasping results through visual perception.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Ease of operation

If simple display methods are used, then ease of grasping results is high, but the ability to display contribution degrees with high accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of grasping contribution degreesVSAvoidcontribution degree display accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent displays contribution degrees using visual dimensions (position, size, color) that directly encode quantitative information. This allows simple visual display methods to maintain high accuracy by mapping numerical contribution degrees to visual properties, where position indicates factor identity, size indicates contribution magnitude, and color indicates contribution level.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

4Reliability

If hierarchical multivariate analysis is conducted, then factor analysis comprehensiveness is improved, but analysis processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefactor analysis comprehensivenessVSAvoidanalysis processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the analysis into hierarchical levels (first-level factors, second-level sub-factors, third-level detailed factors). This segmentation allows comprehensive factor analysis to be conducted systematically, where each level builds on the previous one, improving comprehensiveness while managing processing time through structured progressive analysis rather than simultaneous comprehensive analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
