Solution Overview

Problem

Current customer service call systems are inefficient as customers need to provide extensive information before receiving assistance, leading to delayed or ineffective service, especially in emergencies.

Innovation Solution

A network service system that uses a communication module and data processor to establish real-time communication between user and target terminals via an IP network using identification codes and target codes, allowing for direct communication without the need for lengthy information exchange.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If customers dial customer service phone numbers to receive assistance, then they can access service support, but they need to convey extensive background information, product information, and service information which causes inefficient service and delays

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of accessing customer serviceVSAvoidtime required to convey information
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically obtaining customer information from the carrier network before the customer needs to provide it. The customer's identity, account information, and service details are pre-retrieved through authentication with the carrier, eliminating the need for customers to manually convey this information during the service interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by automatically gathering and processing customer information without requiring active participation from the customer. The network service system autonomously retrieves customer data, authenticates the customer, and establishes the service context, allowing customers to simply initiate contact and receive immediate service.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of operation

If traditional customer service call systems are used, then customers can receive service support, but enterprises bear huge financial burdens due to extensive information exchange requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice support accessibilityVSAvoidcommunication costs for enterprises
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces the traditional mechanical voice-call-based information exchange with an automated digital authentication and information retrieval system. Instead of relying on customers to verbally provide information and agents to manually process it, the system uses automated carrier network authentication and database queries to obtain service context, significantly reducing communication costs.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The network service system acts as an intermediary between the customer and the service provider. It mediates the information exchange by automatically obtaining customer information from the carrier network and presenting it to the service agent, eliminating the need for extensive back-and-forth communication and reducing enterprise communication costs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If customers provide detailed information manually, then service agents can understand customer needs, but the service process becomes lengthy and ineffective especially in emergencies

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice accuracyVSAvoidservice delivery speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary information gathering and authentication before the service interaction begins. Customer identity, account details, and service information are pre-obtained through automated carrier network authentication, ensuring accuracy is established in advance rather than during the service conversation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system maintains continuous useful action by establishing service context immediately upon customer contact. Rather than interrupting the service flow to collect information, the system continuously has customer information available through automated retrieval, allowing service agents to immediately address customer needs without breaks in the service action.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
