Problem

Users face challenges in efficiently selecting a restaurant that meets their dietary preferences and nutritional requirements due to the time-consuming process of identifying suitable food options with existing technologies.

Innovation Solution

A system and method utilizing machine-learning processes to analyze nutritional content, including ingredient quality and nutritional indicators, to suggest modifications and improve meal quality, integrated with a user device to select an alimentary provider based on user inputs and preferences.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If users manually evaluate multiple restaurants and food options based on dietary restrictions and preferences, then they can make informed decisions about meal quality and nutritional content, but the process becomes time-consuming and complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenutritional content analysis precisionVSAvoidtime for selecting restaurant and food
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automated self-service by using machine learning models to automatically analyze nutritional content, evaluate ingredient quality, and generate recommendations without requiring manual user intervention. The ML processes autonomously compute alimentary combination factors and suggest modifications, resolving the contradiction by making the system both precise and time-efficient.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical evaluation processes with automated machine learning systems. Instead of users manually researching and evaluating each restaurant option, ML models automatically process nutritional data, compute quality indicators, and generate recommendations, thereby maintaining high measurement precision while dramatically reducing the time investment required.

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

2Reliability

If the system provides detailed nutritional analysis and modification suggestions, then meal quality improves, but the complexity of the system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemeal quality reliabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the complex task of nutritional analysis into distinct machine learning processes: a first ML process computes alimentary combination factors (ingredient quality and nutritional content), while a second ML process generates specific modifications. This segmentation maintains high reliability through specialized analysis while managing complexity by dividing functions into modular, independent processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system manages complexity by focusing on specific measurable parameters (alimentary combination factors, ingredient quality indicators, nutritional content indicators) rather than attempting to evaluate all possible food attributes. By changing the analysis to parameter-based evaluation, the system achieves reliable meal quality assessment without requiring overly complex system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If the system considers multiple factors including food-related ailments and preferences, then the selection accuracy improves, but the data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveselection accuracyVSAvoiddata processing volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the most relevant features and factors from the available data, focusing on alimentary combination factors, ingredient quality indicators, and nutritional content indicators. By taking out and prioritizing these key elements rather than processing all possible data, the system maintains high selection accuracy while reducing the overall data processing volume and computational burden.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
