Solution Overview

Problem

Users may not be aware of products that are available and of interest to them, leading to inefficiencies in product discovery and sales potential.

Innovation Solution

A machine learning-based system generates pre-populated graphical user interfaces for product orders by creating user models based on user behavior and preferences, predicting likely purchases, and automatically presenting relevant products for pre-ordering.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If traditional product availability channels are used, then products are made accessible through standard stores, but users may not be aware of available products that interest them

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveProduct availability informationVSAvoidProduct discovery effort
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by proactively generating and presenting product order interfaces before users actively search for products. Machine learning models analyze user behavior patterns and predict likely purchases, then automatically create pre-populated order interfaces that present relevant products in advance, eliminating the need for users to actively discover products through traditional browsing methods

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by automatically generating personalized product recommendations and pre-populated order interfaces based on user profiles and behavior patterns. The machine learning system autonomously analyzes user data, determines product interests, and creates customized presentations without requiring manual user input or active search operations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Productivity

If manual product presentation is used, then users can browse products, but it increases user effort and reduces efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveProduct discovery efficiencyVSAvoidUser time for product discovery
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of user behavior patterns and generates product recommendations in advance. Machine learning models continuously learn from user interactions and proactively present relevant products through pre-populated order interfaces, eliminating the need for users to manually browse through extensive product catalogs and saving significant time in the product discovery process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces the mechanical manual browsing process with automated machine learning algorithms. Instead of users actively searching and filtering products through traditional interfaces, the system uses AI models to automatically analyze user profiles, predict preferences, and generate personalized product presentations, substituting human cognitive effort with automated intelligent systems

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

3Ease of operation

If automated order generation is implemented, then user effort is reduced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveOrder placement effortVSAvoidSystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the complex automated order generation process into distinct functional modules: user profile management, behavior pattern analysis, machine learning prediction models, product matching algorithms, and automated interface generation. This modular segmentation allows each component to handle specific tasks independently, making the overall complex system more manageable and easier to implement while maintaining automated operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces machine learning models as intermediary components that bridge user behavior data and product recommendations. These intermediary AI models process raw user interaction data, extract meaningful patterns, and generate personalized predictions, serving as a mediating layer that simplifies the complexity of directly connecting user profiles to automated order generation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A system described herein may use automated techniques, such as machine learning techniques, to identify products that a user may be interested in purchasing. For example, a model may be created for a user, and attributes of products available for sale may be compared to the model. When determining that a user may be interested in a particular product, a graphical user interface (“GUI”) may be pre-populated and presented to a device of the user, to facilitate the user purchasing the product with minimal interaction.
