Solution Overview

Problem

Existing chatbot systems face challenges in context awareness, multimodal data integration, and adaptive learning, leading to rigid, rule-based interactions that fail to provide dynamic, contextually relevant responses, and are hindered by limitations in real-time data processing and natural language understanding, affecting their ability to deliver accurate, scalable, and personalized user experiences.

Innovation Solution

An apparatus and method that utilizes a processor and memory to receive multimodal data, including passive and active data, through a web-crawler, generate outputs using a chatbot, adjust weights based on system feedback, and display questions with the highest weights, leveraging an evaluation model trained on a chatbot training dataset to enhance context awareness and personalization.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing chatbot systems use rule-based interactions, then the system structure is simple and easy to implement, but the system lacks context awareness and cannot provide dynamic, contextually relevant responses

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments data processing into multiple modalities (text, image, audio, video) with dedicated processing pipelines for each, allowing complex multimodal analysis while maintaining modular system architecture that manages complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediary components including a query understanding module that translates user queries into structured formats, and an evaluation model that mediates between raw data and final responses, enabling context-aware interactions without requiring complete system restructuring

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies partial evaluation criteria based on query urgency and importance, using full multi-criteria evaluation only for high-stakes queries while applying simplified evaluation for routine interactions, maintaining output quality where needed while reducing processing time for standard cases

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements periodic model retraining and evaluation criterion updates that occur at scheduled intervals rather than continuously, allowing the system to maintain high output quality through regular optimization while avoiding constant computational overhead during normal operation

Inventive Principle:
