Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional meeting processes are inefficient, as attendees often receive vague invitations and spend time wondering about the relevance of meeting content, leading to increased pressure for meetings to be more time-efficient and strategic.

Innovation Solution

A dynamic approach that analyzes meeting content to identify key topics, matches relevant profiles, and schedules meeting intervals, sending targeted invitations and initial topic summaries to ensure attendees are engaged with relevant discussions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If conventional meeting invitation processes are used, then all invited parties receive the same broad meeting information, but this leads to loss of time as participants wonder about relevance and spend time unproductively

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveloss of timeVSAvoidcomplexity of meeting management system
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The meeting is divided into multiple time intervals, each dedicated to a specific topic. Participants are selectively invited to only the intervals relevant to their profiles, rather than attending the entire meeting. This segmentation reduces time loss for irrelevant participants while maintaining systematic meeting management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by analyzing participant profiles against meeting topics before the meeting occurs, pre-determining which participants should be invited to which time intervals. This advance preparation eliminates the need for participants to wonder about relevance during the meeting, reducing time loss without adding complexity during the meeting itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If meetings are made more efficient with targeted information, then participant engagement improves, but the complexity of identifying and matching profiles to topics increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemeeting efficiencyVSAvoidcomplexity of profile matching system
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service by automatically analyzing participant profiles and matching them to relevant meeting topics and time intervals without requiring manual intervention. The automated profile analysis and matching process improves meeting efficiency by ensuring participants receive only relevant information, while the system handles the complexity of profile matching independently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Loss of information

If broad meeting invitations are sent to all potential attendees, then no relevant information is lost, but meeting time is wasted by including participants with low relevance to specific topics

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveloss of relevant informationVSAvoidwasted meeting time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by providing different levels of information and invitation to different participants based on their specific profiles and relevance to each topic. Rather than uniform broad invitations, each participant receives targeted information about only those meeting intervals relevant to them, preventing time waste while ensuring relevant information is preserved.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

One example method of operation may include identifying a topics to apply to a meeting having a defined time window, creating meeting time intervals corresponding to the topics, transmitting meeting invites to user accounts identified as potential meeting attendees, identifying when the user accounts were active in the meeting, and determining the user accounts fulfilled a topic fulfillment obligation of one or more of the topics based on a user account presence during one or more of the meeting intervals.
