Solution Overview

Problem

Existing online collaboration methods for selecting items, such as articles or goods, require manual solicitation and compilation of user feedback, which is inefficient and can lead to unsatisfactory selections, wasting time and resources.

Innovation Solution

A computing system uses multiple machine learning models to analyze user feedback and interactions, providing collaborative recommendations by identifying sentiments and correlations between users, thereby automating the feedback organization and item selection process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If manual feedback gathering and organization is used, then users can collaborate on item selection, but the process requires significant time and effort

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecollaboration capabilityVSAvoidtime for feedback gathering
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service by automatically gathering feedback from collaborators through integrated communication channels and autonomously organizing it using machine learning algorithms, eliminating the need for manual feedback collection and arrangement while maintaining collaborative item selection capabilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical manual process of feedback gathering and organization with an automated electronic system that uses machine learning models to analyze collaborator responses and generate item recommendations, significantly reducing the time required while preserving collaboration functionality

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

2Measurement precision

If multiple machine learning models are used to analyze feedback, then recommendation accuracy improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecommendation accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the complex analysis task into multiple specialized machine learning models, each handling specific aspects of feedback analysis (sentiment analysis, feature extraction, recommendation generation), which improves overall recommendation accuracy while managing system complexity through modular architecture

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The machine learning system performs multiple functions including sentiment analysis, feedback organization, and recommendation generation using integrated models that process various types of collaborator input, achieving high recommendation accuracy through multi-functional analysis capabilities

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

AI summary

A feedback management subsystem receives, from a first user, first text comprising commentary on an item. The feedback management subsystem receives, from the first user, instructions to request commentary on the item from a second user. Responsive to receiving the instructions to request commentary from the second user, a communication subsystem transmits a notification to the second user. The feedback management subsystem receives, from the second user, second text comprising commentary on the item. A first machine learning model performs sentiment analysis to identify sentiments of the first text and the second text. A recommendation subsystem identifies prior actions of the first user and associated sentiments of the second user. A second machine learning model identifies a second item based on the prior actions of the first user and the sentiments of the second user. The recommendation subsystem provides output to the first user recommending the second item.
