Solution Overview

Problem

Existing IRT-based systems lack real-time capability and attribute information updates, leading to inaccurate analysis and delayed decision-making in applications such as education and psychological testing, where user capabilities change rapidly.

Innovation Solution

A dynamic information updating method that iteratively updates capability and attribute information of objects and items based on response results, using IRT models to determine capability and attribute update amounts, allowing for real-time reflection of changes in user capabilities and item characteristics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If IRT-based systems use static capability and attribute information, then the system structure is simple and stable, but the analysis accuracy becomes inaccurate and delayed when user capabilities change rapidly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic updating of capability information and attribute information based on response results. The capability information is updated iteratively using update amounts calculated from response results and difficulty parameters, transforming the static system into a dynamic one that adapts to changing user capabilities in real-time, thereby improving analysis accuracy without requiring complete system redesign

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent establishes a feedback mechanism where response results are fed back into the system to update capability information and attribute information. The update process uses response results combined with difficulty parameters to calculate update amounts, which then modify the capability and attribute information for subsequent analyses, creating a continuous improvement loop that enhances measurement precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Measurement precision

If IRT-based systems perform frequent updates of capability and attribute information, then the real-time accuracy improves, but the computational time and processing resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial updating by calculating and applying update amounts only when necessary based on response results, rather than performing complete recalculations. The update mechanism uses incremental adjustments to capability and attribute information based on the specific response outcome and item difficulty, reducing computational overhead while maintaining real-time accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameters of capability information and attribute information through iterative updates based on response results and difficulty parameters. By adjusting these parameters dynamically rather than performing complete system recalculations, the system achieves real-time accuracy improvements with reduced processing time and computational resources

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
