Solution Overview

Problem

Existing natural language processing systems struggle to efficiently process complex user inputs, prioritize tasks, and select appropriate components to perform actions in a logical order, leading to inefficiencies and inaccuracies in task completion.

Innovation Solution

A system utilizing large language models (LLMs) to determine tasks, prioritize them, and select components based on user inputs, incorporating personalized information and context to resolve ambiguities and ensure compliance with user permissions and regulations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If existing natural language processing systems process complex user inputs, then task completion is achieved, but processing efficiency and accuracy deteriorate due to inability to prioritize tasks and select appropriate components logically

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetask completion accuracyVSAvoidprocessing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments complex user inputs into multiple discrete tasks with associated priorities. Each task is independently processed through selected components, allowing the system to handle complexity through division rather than attempting monolithic processing, thereby improving both accuracy and efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by prioritizing tasks before execution. Tasks are ranked in order of importance and processed sequentially according to priority, ensuring critical tasks are completed first. This preliminary ordering resolves the contradiction by establishing a logical processing sequence that improves reliability without sacrificing productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If the system selects multiple components to perform actions, then task completion capability is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetask completion capabilityVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a universal component selection mechanism that dynamically chooses appropriate components based on task requirements. Rather than hardcoding separate processing paths for different task types, a single multi-functional selection system handles diverse tasks by evaluating task characteristics and matching them with suitable components, thereby improving versatility without proportionally increasing complexity.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs self-service through automated component selection based on task priority and characteristics. The prioritization mechanism automatically determines which components should handle which tasks without manual intervention or complex configuration, allowing the system to manage its own complexity while maintaining high adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

Techniques for generating tasks to be completed in order to perform an action responsive to a user input and, for a given task, shortlisting available components to those that are relevant for the task are described. The system processes a user input to determine tasks to be completed in order to perform an action responsive to the user input. The system determines a priority of the tasks and selects a top-ranked task. The system determines descriptions of processing performable by components that are semantically similar to the current task, and requests a description of the function the corresponding components would perform for the current task. Based on the received descriptions, the system selects one or more components to perform the task. Thereafter, the system causes the action to be performed and outputs a response to the user input.
