Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing online social platforms fail to effectively connect users affiliated with an organization, such as universities, leading to a lack of beneficial interactions among students or members.

Innovation Solution

Systems and methods utilize computer vision, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to generate organization-bounded virtual spaces, verify user associations, and provide content items that foster interactions among users, including organization directories, group activities, and real-time communication.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing online social platforms are used to connect users, then users can connect across great distances, but users affiliated with the same organization cannot effectively interact

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveorganization-based connection capabilityVSAvoidinteraction effectiveness

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the general user base into organization-specific communities, creating dedicated spaces where users affiliated with the same organization can interact. This segmentation allows the platform to provide both broad connectivity and targeted organization-based interactions, resolving the contradiction between general accessibility and organization-specific effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If organization-bounded virtual spaces are created, then organization-related interactions are enhanced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveorganization-based interaction capabilityVSAvoidplatform structure complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a universal organizational framework that can accommodate multiple organizations and user types within a single platform structure. This multi-functional approach allows the system to handle diverse organization types (universities, corporations, non-profits) without requiring separate systems, thereby enhancing adaptability while controlling complexity through standardized interfaces and data models.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Reliability

If user verification for organization association is implemented, then interaction quality improves, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser association accuracyVSAvoidverification processing time

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary organization verification during user registration and onboarding processes. By establishing user-organization associations upfront rather than verifying them in real-time during interactions, the system ensures accurate matching while minimizing verification-related delays during actual user interactions. This preliminary action allows for batch processing and pre-computation of association data.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

According to examples, a system for generating and providing organization-bounded spaces for a virtual community of users may include a processor and a memory storing instructions. The processor, when executing the instructions, may cause the system to generate an organization-bounded space; analyze user information to associate a user with the organization-bounded space; enable the user to receive and publish a content item; and implement a security feature for communications associated with an organization-bounded space and/or its associated users. The processor may further determine recommend a group to the user and identify a user representative for the organization-bounded space.
