Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If e-commerce platforms use traditional data collection methods, then system implementation is simple, but customer intent identification accuracy is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustomer intent identification accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary structuring of unstructured customer interaction data before analysis. By pre-processing and organizing data into structured formats with defined schemas, the system prepares data for more accurate intent identification without requiring complex processing during real-time interactions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary layer between raw unstructured data and analysis systems. This layer includes data structuring components that transform unstructured customer interactions into structured formats, enabling accurate intent identification while keeping the overall system architecture manageable through clear separation of concerns

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If e-commerce platforms collect and analyze extensive customer data, then customer personalization improves, but data processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustomer personalization capabilityVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary structuring and organization of customer data before it is needed for personalization. By pre-processing unstructured interactions and organizing them into structured formats with defined schemas, the system reduces the time required for real-time data processing while maintaining comprehensive personalization capabilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the data processing workflow into distinct stages: data collection, unstructured data structuring, structured data storage, and analysis. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently, reducing overall processing time while maintaining comprehensive personalization through cumulative data accumulation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
