Innovation Solution

A natural language processing model generates guided tours based on textual or other requirements, allowing rapid, accurate, and robust implementation, reducing inefficient user interactions and computing resource wastage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If guided tours are manually created with detailed mapping of user interface components, then the accuracy and effectiveness of the guided tour content is improved, but the time and effort required to produce the guided tour increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveguided tour accuracyVSAvoidguided tour production time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service by automatically generating guided tour content through AI processing of functional requirements documents, user stories, and source code. The guided tour generation system autonomously maps user interface components and creates tour content without requiring manual intervention, thus achieving both high accuracy and rapid production.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical manual process of creating guided tours with an automated AI-based system. Instead of manually mapping UI components and writing tour content, the system uses natural language processing and code analysis to automatically generate accurate guided tour content from existing software artifacts.

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

2Ease of operation

If guided tours are created for existing user interface features, then user navigation assistance is provided, but the effectiveness of guided tours diminishes as computing platforms rapidly add new features

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser navigation assistanceVSAvoidguided tour adaptability to new features
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements dynamics by continuously adapting to changing user interfaces. When new features are added to the computing platform, the system automatically detects changes through source code analysis and functional requirements updates, then generates updated guided tour content to reflect the new interface structure and features.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where user interactions with guided tours and changes in the user interface are continuously monitored. This feedback is used to update and refine guided tour content, ensuring it remains relevant and effective as the platform evolves with new features.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If users manually navigate through user interface pages without guidance, then users can explore the interface freely, but computing resources are wasted due to cycling through pages and going down false paths

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser exploration freedomVSAvoidcomputing resource wastage
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies preliminary action by providing users with pre-planned guided tour content that anticipates the optimal navigation path through the user interface. This preliminary guidance helps users avoid unnecessary page cycles and false paths before they occur, reducing computing resource wastage while maintaining exploration freedom.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Various implementations disclosed herein include techniques for generation of guided content of user interfaces based on requirements for the guided content. An example implementation may involve receiving a set of requirements associated with guided content for a user interface; generating, via a trained natural language model, a representation of the guided content based on the set of requirements; and providing the representation of the guided content to a client device.
