Solution Overview

Problem

Prospective movers face significant challenges in finding ideal living locations due to the complexity of evaluating numerous attributes, lack of awareness of important factors, and the impracticality of gathering and assembling information from various sources, leading to decision fatigue and unsuitable relocation choices.

Innovation Solution

A machine-implemented architecture that uses an Internet-based system to categorize and display quantitative and qualitative data about locations, allowing users to set attribute limits, rank locations based on their preferences, and share profiles to facilitate interactive discovery of personalized living locations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If prospective movers manually gather and evaluate information about numerous location attributes, then they can make more informed relocation choices, but the effort and time required becomes impractical and leads to decision fatigue

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation accuracyVSAvoidtime required
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically performs the complex task of gathering, organizing, and evaluating location attributes across multiple sources. The machine learning model autonomously processes data from diverse sources, identifies relevant attributes, and generates personalized location recommendations without requiring manual intervention from the user to collect or assemble information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of researching and evaluating location attributes with an automated computer-based system. The machine learning algorithm substitutes human cognitive processing and manual data collection, performing complex analysis and pattern recognition automatically to produce personalized relocation recommendations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Measurement precision

If the system provides comprehensive information about all location attributes, then relocation choices become more accurate, but the complexity of the system and information organization increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverelocation choice accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts which attributes are considered and how they are weighted based on individual user preferences, historical data, and contextual factors. Rather than treating all attributes equally, the machine learning model adapts the parameter importance to match each user's unique relocation needs, making the comprehensive system manageable and personalized.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback loops where user interactions with location information, preferences, and preliminary selections are used to refine and update the machine learning model. This feedback mechanism allows the system to learn from user behavior and automatically adjust its attribute evaluation methodology, reducing perceived complexity while maintaining comprehensive coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If the system asks users to identify important attributes, then personalization improves, but many users are unaware of critical factors and provide insufficient information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization levelVSAvoiduser preference information
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis by automatically identifying and presenting the most relevant location attributes based on aggregated data from multiple sources and general relocation best practices. Before asking users for their preferences, the system pre-processes and ranks potential attributes, providing users with a structured framework that guides their responses and ensures comprehensive information collection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The machine learning model acts as an intermediary between the system's comprehensive attribute database and the user's limited explicit preferences. It translates implicit user behaviors and limited inputs into comprehensive personalized recommendations by inferring unstated preferences and filling in gaps with data-driven insights from similar user patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
