Innovation Solution
A system and methodology for determining a person's play personality, representing play types and patterns, identifying intrinsic motivators, storing and updating a play profile, and ensuring that play needs are met through various activities, including questionnaires, databases, and computer-based systems.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If systematic tools and methods are developed to translate scientific understanding of play into practical applications, then the ability to improve personal and organizational development is enhanced, but the complexity of the system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments play assessment into distinct components: play history questionnaire, play personality determination, and play profile generation. This modular approach allows the complex system to be broken down into manageable parts that can be implemented and updated independently, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The play assessment system is designed to serve multiple functions across different domains including career placement, organizational development, conflict resolution, and personal well-being. By creating a universal framework that can be applied across diverse contexts, the system achieves high adaptability without proportionally increasing complexity.
2Measurement precision
If comprehensive play assessment tools are implemented, then the precision of play personality determination is improved, but the difficulty of detecting and measuring play patterns increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces a play profile as an intermediary representation that translates complex play patterns into measurable categories. The play profile serves as a mediator between raw play history data and play personality determination, making the measurement process more manageable while maintaining precision through structured assessment criteria.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transforms qualitative play observations into quantitative parameters by categorizing play history data into specific play types and patterns. This parameter transformation enables precise measurement of play personality while simplifying the detection process through standardized assessment metrics.
3Reliability
If the system stores and updates comprehensive play profiles, then the ability to track play needs and experiences is improved, but the quantity of data to be managed increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the essential play-related information from comprehensive user data to create focused play profiles. By selectively extracting relevant play history, play types, and play personality characteristics while excluding unnecessary information, the system maintains reliable tracking capability while minimizing data volume.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary organization and categorization of play data during the profile creation process, structuring information in advance to facilitate efficient storage and retrieval. This preliminary structuring reduces the complexity of data management while ensuring comprehensive tracking of play needs and experiences.

AI summary
Techniques are described herein for automatically determining play states, intrinsic motivators, play types/patterns and a play personality of a user/subject. Play personalities develop from activation of play states and vary individually and are expressed in a variety of play type/patterns. These states, personalities, patterns and associated intrinsic motivations may be automatically determined by computing devices based on that user/subject's information, behaviors and biometric data. The play personality may be additionally used as the means for identifying and integrating intrinsic motivators into player-centric design which can alter and personalize user/subject/player engagement, experience and outcomes.
