Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Modern enterprise middleware dashboards are complex, requiring costly and time-consuming training for users to become effective, and even experienced users may benefit from recommendations on next actions.
Innovation Solution
A method and system using a feedforward artificial neural network to generate recommendations for next user actions based on received user action data, communicated to the user device, facilitating user interaction and operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users are provided with full functionality of enterprise middleware dashboards, then system capability and features are improved, but user training time and operational complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically generates next-action recommendations by analyzing user behavior patterns and workflow data without requiring external training or intervention. The dashboard serves itself by providing intelligent guidance based on collected data, reducing the need for formal training programs while maintaining full system functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors user actions and provides real-time feedback in the form of recommended next actions. This feedback loop enables users to learn through actual usage rather than prior training, adapting to individual user patterns while reducing overall training requirements across the user base
2Adaptability or versatility
If enterprise middleware dashboards provide comprehensive features, then functional capability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The next-action recommendation system acts as an intermediary between the complex dashboard functionality and the user. It translates comprehensive system capabilities into simple, context-relevant action suggestions, making the complex system easy to operate without reducing functional capability
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically analyzes user context and provides personalized action recommendations, eliminating the need for users to navigate complex interfaces or remember numerous features. The dashboard serves itself by generating intelligent guidance based on workflow patterns, maintaining full functionality while simplifying operation
3Productivity
If the system provides personalized recommendations, then user efficiency is improved, but computational resources and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-processes and stores workflow patterns and user behavior data during idle periods, creating ready-to-use recommendation models. When users need recommendations, the system retrieves pre-computed patterns rather than performing heavy computation in real-time, reducing instantaneous computational resource usage while maintaining personalized efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides recommendations at selective moments based on user needs and system state, rather than continuously generating all possible recommendations. This partial action approach reduces computational overhead while still delivering sufficient personalized guidance to improve user efficiency
Data Source
AI summary
A method for recommending an action to a user of a user device includes receiving first user action data corresponding to a first user action and receiving second user action data corresponding to a second user action. The method also includes generating, based on the first user action data and the second user action data and using a feedforward artificial neural network, a recommendation for a next user action. The method also includes causing the recommendation for the next user action to be communicated to the user device.
