Solution Overview

Problem

Existing schedule creation methods in office automation systems require users to manually enter multiple schedule configuration items, leading to cumbersome operations and low efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A method that allows users to automatically generate schedule information by entering natural language on a schedule creation page, which then displays and confirms the generated schedule configuration items before creating the target schedule.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If users manually enter each schedule configuration item, then the schedule can be created with complete information, but the operation becomes cumbersome and efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveschedule creation efficiencyVSAvoidoperation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically generates schedule configuration items by processing natural language input, eliminating the need for users to manually fill in each field. The natural language processing system extracts relevant information and automatically populates schedule parameters, allowing the system to serve itself rather than requiring extensive user input for each configuration item.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical manual entry process with an automated natural language processing system. Instead of requiring users to mechanically input data into multiple fields, the system uses NLP technology to interpret natural language statements and automatically transform them into structured schedule configuration data, substituting manual mechanical operations with automated intelligent processing.

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

2Manufacturing precision

If users manually enter multiple schedule configuration items, then the schedule information can be complete, but the time required for creation increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveschedule information completenessVSAvoidschedule creation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary processing of the natural language input to extract all necessary schedule information before the user needs to review or confirm the schedule. The natural language processing system pre-processes the input statement, identifies relevant entities, relationships, and parameters, and automatically generates complete schedule configuration items in advance, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual entry while ensuring information completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If the system processes natural language to generate schedule information, then schedule creation efficiency improves, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveschedule creation efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a natural language processing system as an intermediary between the user's simple natural language input and the complex schedule configuration system. This intermediary layer translates easily understood natural language statements into structured data that the schedule system can process, shielding the user from system complexity while enabling efficient automated schedule creation. The NLP system acts as a mediator that bridges the gap between simple user input and complex system requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
