Solution Overview

Problem

Existing techniques for interacting with applications based on electronic communications are inflexible, inefficient, and resource-intensive due to reliance on predefined rules, failing to trigger relevant interactions and causing unnecessary computational overhead.

Innovation Solution

A tailored interaction prediction model, such as a neural network, processes features of electronic communications to generate predicted interaction values, determining when and how to interact with applications based on user behavior, and optionally stores locally for security and efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If predefined rules are used to trigger application interactions, then the triggering conditions are clear and deterministic, but the system lacks flexibility and fails to trigger relevant interactions for communications that do not conform to strict rules

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetriggering accuracyVSAvoidinteraction flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from rigid rule-based parameters (exact term matching, positional requirements) to flexible machine learning model parameters that can adapt to various communication patterns. The model learns from training data to predict interactions, allowing it to handle diverse scenarios without strict predefined conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system evolves from static predefined rules to dynamic machine learning models that continuously adapt based on user interactions and feedback. The model can be retrained and adjusted to improve its predictions over time, making the system more responsive to changing user behaviors and communication patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Measurement precision

If machine learning models are trained centrally on user data, then model accuracy can be improved, but user privacy and data security are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoiddata security risk
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements local training where each user device trains its own interaction prediction model using local user data. This distributed approach allows each device to maintain high prediction accuracy tailored to individual user preferences while keeping sensitive data localized and secure, eliminating the need to centralize user data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses local models as intermediaries that process user data on-device without requiring centralized data collection. These local models serve as mediators between user data and prediction functionality, enabling accurate predictions while maintaining data privacy through federated learning techniques.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If interaction prompts are provided for all electronic communications, then no relevant interactions are missed, but computational resources are wasted on unnecessary prompts

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction coverageVSAvoidcomputational efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies partial action by providing interaction prompts selectively rather than for all communications. The trained model predicts which communications are likely to benefit from interaction prompts, applying the intervention only where needed based on predicted user behavior patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback loops where user responses to interaction prompts (or lack thereof) are fed back into the training data. This continuous feedback allows the model to learn from actual user behavior and refine its predictions, improving its ability to identify which communications warrant interaction prompts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
