Solution Overview

Problem

Artists face challenges in efficiently collecting audience feedback during the production of a work of art, which hinders their ability to align their creative decisions with audience demands, leading to potential suboptimal outcomes.

Innovation Solution

A software-based tool that enables users to solicit feedback from an audience through various input types, including numerical ratings, emoticons, and color selections, processing this input to generate a rating score that can be used to improve the work of art effectively.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If artists collect feedback from audience during production, then the direction of work of art aligns with audience demands, but the process consumes time and money

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvealignment with audience demandsVSAvoidtime consumed in feedback collection

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements automated feedback collection by distributing digital questionnaires to audience members who have experienced the artwork, systematically gathering their opinions and emotions. This automated feedback loop enables artists to continuously align their creative decisions with audience demands without manual intervention, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and time consumption

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional manual feedback collection methods (such as in-person interviews or paper surveys) with an automated digital system that uses software to distribute, collect, and process feedback. This substitution eliminates the time-consuming mechanical processes while maintaining the ability to gather audience insights, thus improving adaptability without proportional time loss

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Manufacturing precision

If artists collect detailed feedback from audience, then quality of work of art improves, but the cost and time of production increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvequality of work of artVSAvoidcost and time of production

Core Design Contradiction:

Manufacturing precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables audience members to voluntarily provide detailed feedback through self-administered digital questionnaires at their own convenience. This self-service approach eliminates the need for artists to invest time and money in organizing structured feedback sessions, while still gathering comprehensive data that improves artwork quality through detailed audience insights

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses digital copies of questionnaires and feedback forms that can be distributed infinitely without additional cost. Unlike physical surveys that require printing and distribution materials, the digital copying mechanism allows unlimited dissemination to audience members at minimal marginal cost, enabling detailed feedback collection that improves quality without proportionally increasing production costs

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying
