Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional social media platforms lack effective means to promote quality content by allowing users to monetize their interactions based on the quality of the content they post or provide.

Innovation Solution

A communication platform that allows users to post queries, referred to as 'throws,' and compensates responders based on the quality of their responses, with users assigned to respond based on their prior response quality scores, creating a que system that prioritizes higher-scoring users for increased opportunities and monetary compensation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional social media platforms allow users to post content freely, then user participation and content volume increase, but content quality cannot be effectively promoted or monetized

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent qualityVSAvoiduser participation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the parameter of user incentive by introducing a scoring system that quantifies response quality. Users transition from equal participation to differentiated participation based on their scores, which are calculated from quality metrics. This parameter change enables both high participation and quality promotion simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where users receive quality assessments for their responses, and this feedback directly influences their scoring and future monetization opportunities. The feedback loop creates continuous improvement in content quality while maintaining user engagement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If users are compensated for providing responses, then user engagement and response quality improve, but system complexity increases due to score calculation and assignment mechanisms

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse qualityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments users into different priority levels based on their scores, creating a hierarchical structure that simplifies the assignment process. High-scoring users are prioritized for quality-dependent tasks, while lower-scoring users handle different categories, reducing the overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service through automated score calculation and assignment algorithms that operate without manual intervention. The scoring mechanism automatically evaluates response quality and assigns users to appropriate tasks, reducing the need for complex manual management systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If a que system prioritizes higher-scoring users for response opportunities, then content quality improves, but fairness and equal opportunity for all users deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent qualityVSAvoiduser opportunity equality
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements dynamic user assignment where opportunities are not fixed but change based on current score levels. Users can improve their access to quality-dependent tasks by improving their response quality over time, creating a dynamic balance between quality prioritization and opportunity accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of opportunity allocation from equal distribution to score-based distribution. This parameter change allows the system to optimize for quality while maintaining a pathway for users to improve their standing and access, balancing quality requirements with user opportunity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A method comprising using at least one hardware processor to: generate a que of users willing to respond to queries; receive a query and a required number of responses from an application; and assign from the que a plurality of users to respond to the query, wherein the number of the plurality of users is based on the required number of responses and wherein the users are assigned based on a score that is indicative of a quality determination of prior responses for each of the plurality of users.
