Solution Overview

Problem

Current Customer Communication Management (CCM) systems lack the ability to effectively design and generate multimedia communications at a production scale, particularly in multiple content formats such as video, audio, and slide shows, while also tailoring communications based on user attributes.

Innovation Solution

The development of a holistic designer for creating multimedia communication templates that can generate communications in multiple formats, allowing for frame-by-frame design and conditional settings based on user attributes, enabling targeted and dynamic communication generation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If current CCM systems are used to generate content for multiple users, then basic communication control is improved, but the ability to design and generate multimedia communications at production scale is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to design and generate multimedia communicationsVSAvoidcomplexity of content management systems
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the communication design process into separate components: template definition, user attribute evaluation, and content generation. Templates are segmented into reusable multimedia communication structures that can be independently designed and then instantiated for different users, reducing overall system complexity while enabling versatile multimedia generation at production scale.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a universal template-based framework that can generate multiple types of multimedia communications (video, audio, slide shows) from a single template structure. This multi-functional approach allows one template system to serve multiple communication formats and user types, improving versatility without proportionally increasing complexity.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If communications are tailored to users based on attributes, then communication effectiveness is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetargeting capability based on user attributesVSAvoidcomplexity of content generation process
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

User attributes and communication preferences are evaluated and templates are selected in advance before actual content generation. This preliminary classification of users into segments with common characteristics allows the system to pre-determine appropriate templates, reducing the complexity of real-time personalized content generation while maintaining effective user targeting.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system adjusts communication parameters (format, content, delivery method) based on user attribute parameters. By changing the output parameters according to pre-defined user segments and template rules, the system achieves effective tailoring without complex real-time generation algorithms, maintaining simplicity while improving adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If multimedia content is generated in multiple formats, then communication versatility is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-format content generationVSAvoidease of content generation process
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses template copying and instantiation to generate multiple communication formats. Instead of creating each format from scratch, the same template structure is copied and instantiated with different content and parameters for video, audio, and slide show formats, significantly reducing the manufacturing complexity of multi-format content generation while maintaining high versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
