Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current technologies fail to efficiently integrate robo-advising with human advising, lacking the ability to understand user needs, adapt to changing circumstances, and facilitate seamless transitions between the two, leading to inefficient and time-consuming interactions for financial assistance.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that integrates robo-advising with human advising by actively capturing conversations, correlating inputs over time, and facilitating transitions based on user needs, using biometric voice signatures and virtual dashboards to provide proactive financial strategies and scheduling advisor meetings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a person seeks professional financial advice, then the quality of financial guidance improves, but the time and effort required to find and connect with a suitable advisor increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by proactively monitoring financial accounts, transactions, and life events to identify when a user would benefit from advisor assistance. This eliminates the need for users to initiate the search process and pre-prepares potential advisor matches before the user actually needs them.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary system that acts as a bridge between users and financial advisors. This automated intermediary analyzes user needs, matches them with suitable advisors, and coordinates scheduling, thereby reducing the time users would otherwise spend searching and contacting advisors directly.
2Reliability
If a customer connects with a financial professional, then personalized advice is received, but the interaction becomes inefficient and time-consuming due to repeated explanations of financial circumstances
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of the user's financial data, transactions, and circumstances before the advisor meeting. This pre-processing organizes and structures the information so that when the user connects with the advisor, both parties already have a clear understanding of the financial situation, eliminating redundant explanations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors and updates the user's financial profile based on ongoing transactions and life events. This feedback loop ensures that the information provided to advisors is current and accurate, reducing the need for repeated explanations of unchanged financial circumstances in future interactions.
3Productivity
If a robo-advising system operates independently, then efficiency and automation are improved, but the ability to handle complex user needs and provide empathetic guidance is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts its operation by automatically determining when to handle requests independently and when to escalate to human advisors. This dynamic switching allows the system to maintain high automation efficiency for routine tasks while seamlessly transitioning to human advisors for complex or emotionally sensitive situations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary layer that sits between the robo-advising system and the user. This intermediary analyzes the complexity and emotional content of user needs, routing simple queries to the automated system while escalating complex cases to human advisors, thereby optimizing the distribution of tasks between automation and human empathy.
4Ease of operation
If users manually track their finances and research advisor options, then they maintain control over their financial decisions, but the complexity and time investment become insurmountable
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service by automatically monitoring financial accounts, analyzing transactions, identifying life events, and matching users with appropriate advisors without requiring manual user input. Users maintain control through automated preferences and settings while the system handles the complex analysis and coordination tasks.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal system that performs multiple functions: financial monitoring, transaction analysis, life event detection, advisor matching, and scheduling coordination. This multi-functional approach consolidates what would otherwise require multiple separate tools and manual processes into a single integrated system.

AI summary
Systems, methods, and devices provide a user experience capable of integrating robo-advising with human advising based on various inputs that are actively detected. Inputs from a conversation, or multiple conversations separated in time, may be analyzed to determine, based on voice inputs, that live communications should be initiated. Based on triggers identified, a robo-advising session may additionally or alternatively be initiated. Transitions between advising sessions may be facilitated to allow users to more efficiently employ robo-advising until human advising is triggered.
