Solution Overview

Problem

Existing AI detection systems fail to effectively verify student comprehension of their assignments, allowing students to plagiarize by using AI to complete their work without demonstrating understanding.

Innovation Solution

A comprehension-based authorship verification system that uses Large Language Models to generate knowledge-testing questions and evaluate student responses to determine their understanding of the assignment content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional AI detection systems are used to analyze assignment text, then detection capability is provided, but they fail to verify student comprehension of the assignment content

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveAI detection accuracyVSAvoidStudent comprehension verification
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary comprehension verification system that bridges the gap between AI detection and student understanding. The system generates questions based on the assignment content and evaluates student responses to verify comprehension, acting as a mediator between the detection system and the student's knowledge state.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by analyzing student responses to comprehension questions and providing evaluation results. This feedback loop allows the system to assess whether students truly understand the assignment content they submitted, complementing the initial AI detection of potential plagiarism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If students use AI to generate assignments, then assignment completion efficiency is improved, but academic integrity deteriorates due to plagiarism

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveAssignment completion efficiencyVSAvoidAcademic plagiarism
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by detecting AI-generated content in assignments before final submission is confirmed. By identifying potential plagiarism early, the system can then apply additional comprehension verification to determine whether the student actually understands the material, preventing undetected academic misconduct.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary anti-action by implementing comprehension verification as a countermeasure against AI plagiarism. The system proactively generates questions and evaluates student understanding to counterbalance the harmful effect of students using AI to complete assignments without learning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action

3Measurement precision

If comprehension questions are generated and student responses are evaluated, then authorship verification accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveAuthorship verification accuracyVSAvoidSystem structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies universality by using a multi-functional AI processing system that can both generate comprehension questions and evaluate student responses. This single system performs multiple functions (question generation, response analysis, comprehension assessment) that would otherwise require separate components, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining verification accuracy.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the question generation and response evaluation functions into a unified comprehension verification process. By combining these functions that work with the same assignment content and student interaction, the system reduces complexity compared to having entirely separate systems for each function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

The method and system for comprehension-based authorship verification evaluates a user's response to determine how well the user comprehends their own submitted assignment. The user submits their assignment into a validation system where it is analyzed by a Large Language Model (LLM) to generate a question based on the assignment. The generated question is then presented to the user wherein the user provides a user response with a microphone, camera or keyboard. The user response is then analyzed by the LLM again to generate a score that ranks the level of comprehension the user has based on their submitted assignment. Each user response, question, score, and assignment are stored within a database and visually presented to an administrator, wherein the database highlights users that require more attention due to low scores.
