Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems for designing and selecting structures, such as homes or buildings, lack cognitive and interactive solutions that cater to multiple user preferences, leading to inefficiencies in time and cost during the design phase, as they primarily provide fixed two-dimensional or three-dimensional images without considering contextual factors like user profiles, environmental conditions, and user satisfaction levels.

Innovation Solution

A computing processor-based method for intelligent design structure selection in an IoT environment that learns user behavior patterns and satisfaction levels to suggest cognitive design solutions, incorporating machine learning and augmented reality to dynamically design or modify structures based on user profiles, preferences, and contextual factors, including environmental and safety considerations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If fixed two-dimensional or three-dimensional images are provided for structure design, then the system complexity is reduced, but the adaptability to user preferences and contextual factors deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidadaptability to user preferences
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic adaptability by enabling the system to learn and evolve user behavior patterns over time. The system transitions from static fixed images to dynamic personalized recommendations by continuously analyzing user interactions, satisfaction levels, and contextual factors to adapt structure design suggestions to individual user preferences.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes multiple parameters simultaneously including user profile attributes, behavioral patterns, satisfaction levels, and contextual factors. By monitoring and adjusting these parameters dynamically, the system transforms from providing generic fixed images to delivering personalized structure design solutions tailored to each user's specific preferences and needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If cognitive solutions considering multiple user preferences are implemented, then the adaptability improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to user preferencesVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the complex cognitive system into distinct functional modules: user profile analysis component, behavior pattern learning component, satisfaction level evaluation component, and structure design suggestion component. This segmentation allows the system to handle multiple user preferences through specialized subsystems, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining high adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a universal platform that handles multiple functions including user authentication, behavior tracking, satisfaction measurement, and structure design recommendation. This multi-functional approach consolidates various cognitive capabilities into a single integrated system, managing complexity through universality rather than requiring separate systems for each function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Manufacturing precision

If iterative design processes are used, then the manufacturing precision improves, but the loss of time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedesign selection precisionVSAvoidtime for design phase
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-analyzing user profiles, learning behavior patterns, and evaluating satisfaction factors before the actual structure design selection. This advance preparation enables the system to provide highly precise design recommendations immediately, eliminating the need for time-consuming iterative design processes while maintaining high manufacturing precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements continuous feedback loops where user satisfaction levels are monitored and fed back into the system to refine behavior patterns and improve future recommendations. This feedback mechanism allows the system to achieve high design selection precision through learning and adaptation rather than through iterative trial-and-error processes, significantly reducing the time required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

4Adaptability or versatility

If contextual factors like environmental conditions are considered, then the adaptability improves, but the difficulty of detecting and measuring increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to contextual factorsVSAvoiddifficulty of measuring satisfaction levels
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces intermediary components that translate complex contextual factors into measurable data. User satisfaction levels and behavior patterns serve as intermediaries between difficult-to-measure contextual factors like environmental conditions and the structure design recommendations. These intermediaries make the invisible visible by converting subjective experiences into quantifiable metrics that can be analyzed and acted upon.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
