Solution Overview

Problem

Current computing systems require significant user effort and computational resources to generate outputs from large language models (LLMs) due to the need for manual content switching and prompt creation, leading to inefficiencies in processing and resource utilization.

Innovation Solution

A computing device equipped with machine-learned models automatically generates summaries and performs operations on user-selected content within a notebook application, eliminating the need for manual prompt creation and reducing computational overhead.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual content switching and prompt creation are used to interact with LLMs, then users can query and obtain outputs from large language models, but significant user effort and computational resources are required leading to inefficiencies

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent generation efficiencyVSAvoidtime for manual content switching and prompt creation
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically selecting relevant source content and generating appropriate prompts before user interaction. The notebook application pre-processes content by organizing it into manageable units and preparing query structures, eliminating the need for users to manually switch between content sources and construct prompts from scratch.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by allowing the LLM to automatically retrieve and process relevant content without manual user intervention. The notebook application autonomously manages content selection, prompt generation, and result delivery, reducing user effort while maintaining interaction quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If manual content switching is performed to query LLMs about content from multiple sources, then users can access information from various documents, but computational overhead and processing time increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to query multiple content sourcesVSAvoidcomputational resources for content processing
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the content processing task by dividing multiple source documents into discrete notebook entries or sections. Each segment can be independently queried and processed by the LLM, allowing efficient selective retrieval without requiring the system to load and process entire document sets simultaneously, thus reducing computational overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The notebook application serves as an intermediary layer between the user's query and the multiple content sources. It manages content retrieval, preprocessing, and organization, filtering and preparing only the relevant portions for LLM processing. This intermediary role reduces the computational burden on the LLM by pre-filtering and structuring input data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
