Solution Overview

Problem

Current data ingestion methods provide a tedious and error-prone user experience, and conventional software solutions fail to allow users to abandon applications without losing sensitive information or authenticate without usernames and passwords.

Innovation Solution

Implementing dynamic graphical user interfaces that emulate a conversation with chat-like messages, allowing users to interact and input data efficiently, retrieve sensitive information post-abandonment, and authenticate without passwords, while providing varying access levels.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If static input fields are used for data intake, then the form structure is simple and easy to implement, but the user experience becomes tedious and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoiddata entry time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by transforming static input fields into dynamic conversational elements. The system uses natural language processing to convert user spoken or typed responses into form completions automatically. The interface evolves from rigid static fields to adaptive conversational prompts that adjust based on user input, making data entry more efficient and less tedious while reducing completion time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If static input fields are used for data intake, then the implementation is straightforward, but the process becomes error-prone with misplaced information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata input accuracyVSAvoidform interaction complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the system provides real-time validation and confirmation of data entries through conversational responses. The natural language processing system detects and corrects potential errors by asking clarifying questions or confirming entered information, thereby improving data accuracy without requiring complex user awareness of field-specific requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-service by automatically interpreting and validating user inputs through natural language processing. The conversational interface autonomously identifies which form fields correspond to user responses and populates them automatically, reducing manual placement errors while the system handles the complexity of field mapping and validation internally.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If conventional authentication methods are used, then the security is straightforward with usernames and passwords, but the user experience is cumbersome

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication convenienceVSAvoidauthentication time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical username and password authentication system with biometric authentication mechanisms. The system uses fingerprint recognition, facial recognition, or other biometric methods to verify user identity, eliminating the need for users to remember and enter credentials manually, thereby improving convenience and reducing authentication time while maintaining or enhancing security.

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

4Adaptability or versatility

If users can abandon the application, then the flexibility is improved, but the sensitive information is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser flexibilityVSAvoidsensitive information retention
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by automatically saving and preserving sensitive information in the system's database at each stage of the form completion process. Even when users abandon the application, the system maintains records of entered data through persistent storage mechanisms, ensuring information retention while allowing users the flexibility to exit at any time without consequence.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Described herein are methods and systems to provide varying levels of access to a user according to a requested activity. A server receives, from a computing device operated by a user, a request to perform an activity; retrieves from the computing device, a unique identifier of the computing device and at least one operational attribute of the computing device. The server accesses a database to identify a temporary profile that matches the data retrieved from the computing device and the at least one operational attribute of the computing device to identify a communication identifier from the temporary profile. The server transmits a notification using the communication identifier to determine an authorization level of the user based on a response to the notification and the at least one operational attribute. When the requested activity is included within the authorization level, the server authorizes the computing device to perform the activity.
