Solution Overview

Problem

Existing bidding systems are not designed to accommodate the unique circumstances of personnel matching, such as varying skills and available areas, leading to inefficiencies in personnel allocation and high turnover rates.

Innovation Solution

A personnel bidding support system that includes a personnel bidding device connected to subject and dispatch destination terminal devices through a communication network, enabling the issuance of bid points, transmission of personnel information, acceptance of bid requests, and determination of dispatch destinations based on bid requests.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Extent of automation

If a traditional bidding device is applied to personnel matching, then the bidding process can be automated, but it cannot consider various personnel circumstances such as skills and available areas

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebidding process automationVSAvoidconsideration of personnel circumstances
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments personnel information into multiple distinct attributes including skills, available areas, work style preferences, and other circumstances. Each attribute is separately captured and weighted during the bidding process, allowing the system to consider various personnel circumstances individually while maintaining automated operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameters of the bidding device by introducing multiple personnel-related parameters (skills, available areas, work style) that can be adjusted and weighted differently for each bidding scenario. This allows the automated system to adapt to various personnel circumstances by modifying these parameters rather than using a fixed bidding mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If professionals are allocated without considering regional distribution and skills, then the bidding process is simple, but employment opportunities are unevenly distributed and loss of opportunities increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebidding process simplicityVSAvoidpersonnel allocation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-collecting and organizing personnel information including skills, available areas, and work style preferences before the bidding process begins. This preliminary preparation allows the bidding process to remain simple while still considering multiple factors, as the complex information gathering and structuring has already been completed in advance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary mechanism that mediates between simple bidding operations and complex personnel matching requirements. The intermediary processes personnel information and bidding requests, applying weighted scoring based on multiple circumstances while keeping the user interface simple. This intermediary layer handles the complexity internally without burdening the users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Device complexity

If traditional bidding methods are used for personnel, then the system is easy to implement, but turnover rate increases due to ineffective utilization

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem implementation complexityVSAvoidpersonnel utilization effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system achieves universality by designing a multi-functional bidding mechanism that can handle various personnel matching scenarios using the same core platform. The system universally applies weighted scoring across different attributes (skills, areas, work style) regardless of the specific profession or context, reducing implementation complexity while improving reliability through consistent multi-factor evaluation.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms that continuously monitor personnel utilization effectiveness and bidding outcomes. This feedback is used to adjust weights and parameters in future bidding processes, improving personnel matching quality over time while maintaining system simplicity through automated learning and adaptation rather than complex manual configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
