Solution Overview

Problem

Service providers face challenges in launching new services that meet customer demands due to the high costs and uncertainties associated with customer surveys and market research, often resulting in delayed service deployment and lost competitive edge.

Innovation Solution

The use of machine learning to model and infer features from existing services, allowing for the generation of new services by learning patterns and transferring knowledge across heterogeneous data modalities, enabling the detection of new customer needs and rapid service development.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If service providers perform customer surveys and market research to identify new service needs, then they can gain insights into customer receptiveness, but it results in high costs and delayed service deployment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustomer needs identification accuracyVSAvoidservice deployment time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of existing service data to infer potential new service needs before officially launching services. By analyzing patterns in current service usage data, the system proactively identifies customer needs and generates new service concepts in advance, eliminating the need for time-consuming market research while maintaining accurate needs identification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If service providers wait for clear market demand before launching new services, then they reduce the risk of failed revenue forecasts, but they lose valuable lead time against competitors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverevenue forecast accuracyVSAvoidservice launch speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system continuously monitors and analyzes data from existing services to generate feedback signals about emerging customer needs. This real-time feedback mechanism allows the provider to identify validated service opportunities with high revenue potential before competitors, enabling rapid service launches based on actual usage patterns rather than speculative market research.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If service providers use machine learning to infer features from existing services, then they can rapidly generate new services with minimal human intervention, but they face challenges in processing heterogeneous data from different service modalities

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenew service generation speedVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs a universal data processing framework that can handle multiple heterogeneous data modalities (structured, semi-structured, unstructured) through a single unified machine learning architecture. This multi-functional approach processes diverse service data types using consistent methods, enabling rapid new service generation without proportionally increasing processing complexity.

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

AI summary

A method, computer-readable medium, and apparatus for modeling data of a plurality of services for providing a new service are disclosed. For example, a method may include a processor for generating a first policy from a first service by a first policy model using machine learning for processing first data of the first service, generating a second policy from a second service by a second policy model using machine learning for processing second data of the second service, wherein the first service and the second service are different, and implementing one or more functions for a new service using the first policy and the second policy.
