Solution Overview

Problem

Collaboration platforms lack functionalities for creating moment-based events based on interactions between users, hindering the memorialization of events and generation of related gifts and designs.

Innovation Solution

A digital product collaboration platform captures context information from user interactions to suggest and generate moment-based gifts and designs, facilitating the memorialization of events and enabling additional interactions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If collaboration platforms provide basic digital product design functionalities, then users can create and customize digital products, but the platforms lack functionalities for creating moment-based events and memorializing user interactions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplatform functionalityVSAvoidcontext information
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system proactively captures context information from user interactions before the user needs to memorialize events. Context capture components continuously monitor and store interaction data, user profiles, and event details in advance, so when a moment-based event is triggered, the information is already prepared and available for gift and design generation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The collaboration platform is enhanced to perform multiple functions: basic digital product design, context information capture, moment-based event creation, and personalized gift generation. The system uses a unified context information structure that serves both product customization and event memorialization purposes, making the platform versatile without requiring separate systems.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If the platform captures and processes context information from user interactions, then moment-based gifts and designs can be generated, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevent memorialization capabilityVSAvoidsystem architecture
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system is divided into distinct modular components: context capture components that collect interaction data, context information structures that organize the data, moment-based event creation components that trigger events, and gift generation components that create personalized outputs. Each component has a specific responsibility, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Context information structures serve as intermediaries between user interactions and moment-based event generation. The structured context information acts as a standardized interface that translates diverse interaction data into a format suitable for event creation and gift generation, simplifying the integration between different system components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If the platform generates personalized gifts and designs based on context information, then user engagement increases, but additional processing requirements increase system resource consumption

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidcomputational resources
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

Context information is captured and structured in advance during normal user interactions, rather than being processed in real-time when gift generation is needed. This preliminary organization of data reduces the computational burden during moment-based event execution, as the system only needs to retrieve and assemble pre-processed information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts the level of personalization and complexity of generated gifts based on available context information and user preferences. When rich context information is available, more personalized gifts are generated; when context is limited, simpler gifts are created, optimizing resource usage while maintaining user engagement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
