Solution Overview

Problem

Existing automated chatbots, including those using AI/ML algorithms, lack personalization for individual users, particularly in sensitive contexts like financial institutions, leading to generic responses that may be disconcerting and less useful.

Innovation Solution

A personalized AI/ML chatbot system comprising a central server and user device, which includes a server and device processor, memory, and authentication engines, allows access to user-specific financial records to create a personalized profile, authenticate users, and recommend tailored financial services.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If generic AI/ML algorithms are used for automated chatbots, then the system can handle a large variety of users, but the responses become impersonal and less useful for individual users

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to handle various usersVSAvoiduser experience quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by collecting user data, creating user profiles, and training personalized AI/ML models before the user interacts with the chatbot. This advance preparation enables the chatbot to provide personalized responses from the first interaction, resolving the contradiction between handling various users and providing personalized service.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies local quality by creating customized AI/ML models for each individual user based on their specific data and preferences, rather than using a single generic model for all users. This allows the chatbot to adapt its responses to match each user's unique characteristics while still maintaining the ability to serve multiple users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Ease of operation

If personalized user data is incorporated into the chatbot, then the responses become more relevant to individual users, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization qualityVSAvoidsystem architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the chatbot functionality into distinct components: a data collection module, a user profile creation module, a personalized model training module, and an inference module. This segmentation allows each component to handle specific tasks independently, managing system complexity while enabling personalization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces intermediary components including user profiles that store personalized information and training datasets that bridge raw user data and the AI/ML model. These intermediaries organize and structure data flow, making the personalization process more manageable and less complex.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If user-specific financial information is accessed to create personalized profiles, then the chatbot can provide tailored financial service recommendations, but data security and privacy requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice personalization capabilityVSAvoiddata security and privacy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the necessary personalization data from user financial information while leaving sensitive details secure. It creates simplified user profiles containing only the information needed for personalization (preferences, behavior patterns) without storing or processing complete financial records, thus enabling personalization while maintaining security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a secure, isolated environment for processing sensitive financial data during model training, where data is handled in controlled conditions with appropriate security measures. This inert environment protects user privacy while still allowing the system to learn from financial information for personalization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #39Inert atmosphere (Inert environment)
