Solution Overview

Problem

Determining personality types of users on social networking platforms is challenging due to limited access to user information, and processing large volumes of text and multimedia content for classification is a complex task.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that utilize a transceiver to receive tags associated with user messages from social media platforms, segregate them into training and testing datasets, determine parameters, train classifiers, and select the best combination of parameters to predict personality types, using microprocessors to analyze and process audio, video, and text messages.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If social networking platforms collect and store large volumes of user messages and multimedia content to improve personality type prediction accuracy, then the quality and quantity of data for classification improves, but the complexity and cost of processing and storing this data increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonality type prediction accuracyVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the large volume of user data into structured categories (text messages, multimedia content, interaction patterns) and processes each segment using specialized algorithms. The classification system is divided into multiple modules that handle different aspects of personality analysis independently, reducing overall processing complexity while maintaining comprehensive analysis capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediate processing layers including natural language processing modules, sentiment analysis components, and feature extraction mechanisms that act as mediators between raw data and final classification. These intermediary components transform unstructured data into structured features, simplifying the subsequent classification process and reducing computational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If the system processes all types of messages (audio, video, text) to improve personality prediction accuracy, then the comprehensiveness of analysis improves, but the processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonality type classification accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a multi-level processing approach where not all messages are processed with the same depth. Frequently accessed or important messages receive comprehensive multi-modal analysis, while less critical messages undergo simplified processing. This partial action strategy processes only the necessary portion of data at full detail, reducing overall processing time while maintaining accuracy for key personality indicators.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs periodic processing intervals and batch processing mechanisms where messages are analyzed in cycles rather than continuously. Time-sensitive personality traits are updated more frequently, while stable traits are reassessed at longer intervals. This periodic action reduces computational load by avoiding redundant processing of unchanged data while maintaining timely updates for dynamic personality aspects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

3Reliability

If the system uses multiple classifiers with different parameter combinations to improve prediction reliability, then the accuracy and robustness of personality type prediction improves, but the complexity of the classification system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonality type prediction reliabilityVSAvoidclassifier system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple classification results through ensemble methods and voting mechanisms to produce a unified personality type prediction. Different classifiers focusing on specific personality dimensions (e.g., introversion-extraversion, neuroticism-stability) are merged into a comprehensive model. This merging approach maintains the reliability benefits of multiple specialized classifiers while presenting a simplified unified interface that reduces perceived system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent develops a universal classifier framework that can handle multiple personality dimensions and message types through a common architecture. The multi-functional classification system uses shared feature extraction and processing components that serve multiple classification tasks, reducing redundancy and simplifying the overall system structure while maintaining the ability to perform reliable multi-dimensional personality assessment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

The disclosed embodiments illustrate methods and systems for creating a classifier for predicting a personality type of users. The method includes receiving a first tag for messages, from a crowdsourcing platform. The first tag relates to personality type of users. Further, the messages, tagged with first tag are segregated into a training data and a testing data. Further, parameters associated with set of messages in the training data are determined based on type of messages. Further, classifiers are trained for a personality type. Further, a second tag for set of messages in testing data is predicted using trained classifiers for a combination of parameters. A performance of classifiers is determined by comparing the second tag and the first tag associated with set of messages in the testing data. A classifier is selected from classifiers, which is indicative of a best combination of parameters to predict personality type of users.
