Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional methods are used to process customer requests, then system complexity is reduced, but response time and efficiency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse timeVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments customer requests into distinct intent categories (e.g., information seeking, transactional, support) and processes each segment through specialized handling paths. This segmentation enables parallel processing of different request types, improving overall response time while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary classification of customer requests into intent clusters before detailed processing. By pre-grouping requests based on their fundamental purpose, the system prepares processed data structures in advance, reducing the computational burden during actual request handling and thereby improving response time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If detailed analysis of customer inputs is performed, then intent identification accuracy is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintent identification accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a dynamic processing approach where the depth of analysis is adjusted based on the initial classification of the request. Common intents receive streamlined processing with predefined response templates, while ambiguous or complex intents trigger more detailed analysis. This dynamic adaptation maintains high accuracy for critical cases while reducing average processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces exhaustive mechanical text analysis with machine learning-based intent classification models. These models have been pre-trained to recognize patterns and semantics, enabling accurate intent identification without requiring detailed step-by-step analysis of each input, thereby significantly reducing processing time while maintaining high accuracy.

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

3Productivity

If real-time updates based on historical data are implemented, then responsiveness to customer needs is improved, but computational resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveresponsivenessVSAvoidcomputational resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary processing of historical data to create pre-computed intent clusters and response templates during off-peak periods. This preliminary action stores processed patterns that can be quickly retrieved during real-time operations, enabling responsive customer service while minimizing computational resource consumption during peak usage periods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates simplified copies or representations of complex historical interaction patterns in the form of intent clusters and response templates. These copies capture the essential characteristics of historical data without requiring the full computational overhead of the original data, enabling real-time updates with reduced resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

Disclosed embodiments provide a framework for intent discovery based on user input and execution of processes based on the discovered intents. An intent processing system provides, via an interface, a graphical representation of different intent clusters corresponding to different intents. An intent cluster includes a set of intent terms and/or phrases that can be used to submit a request or issue that is associated with an intent. As a user selects intent terms and/or phrases from an intent cluster via the interface, the intent processing system can identify actions that can be performed to address the user's request or issue.
