Solution Overview

Problem

Current customer support responses are often reactive and inadequate, leading to customer dissatisfaction and potential loss due to delayed remediation and defective products, straining customer relationships and resulting in financial losses for companies.

Innovation Solution

A system that uses predictive analytics to monitor user interaction and sentiment data across IoT devices and communication channels to detect dissatisfaction proactively, generating a satisfaction threshold and outputting actions to mitigate dissatisfaction before it escalates, such as scheduling customer service appointments or offering discounts.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If reactive customer support is used, then response time is reduced, but customer satisfaction deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse timeVSAvoidcustomer satisfaction
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by continuously monitoring user interaction data and sentiment data to detect dissatisfaction early, before the customer actively complains. This allows the system to proactively reach out and resolve issues, transforming reactive support into a proactive system that maintains both fast response times and high customer satisfaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback loop by continuously collecting user sentiment data from communication channels and interaction data from IoT devices, analyzing this data to detect dissatisfaction patterns, and automatically initiating remediation actions. This closed-loop feedback system ensures customer satisfaction is maintained through continuous monitoring and rapid response.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If proactive monitoring is implemented, then customer satisfaction is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustomer satisfactionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system achieves multi-functionality by using a single unified platform that performs multiple tasks: collecting interaction data from IoT devices, analyzing sentiment from communication channels, generating user profiles, detecting dissatisfaction, and initiating remediation actions. This universal system reduces overall complexity compared to having separate systems for each function.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements self-service by automatically analyzing user data, detecting dissatisfaction patterns, and initiating remediation actions without requiring manual intervention from customer service agents. This automation reduces operational complexity while maintaining high customer satisfaction through consistent, timely responses.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Measurement precision

If continuous data monitoring is performed, then dissatisfaction detection accuracy is improved, but data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedissatisfaction detection accuracyVSAvoiddata processing requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by creating user-specific profiles that capture individual dissatisfaction patterns and thresholds. Instead of applying uniform monitoring to all users, the system tailors the monitoring and analysis to each user's specific behavior patterns and sentiment responses, improving detection accuracy while optimizing processing resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts monitoring parameters and satisfaction thresholds based on user profiles and historical data. By changing parameters such as sentiment analysis sensitivity and interaction frequency thresholds according to individual user characteristics, the system achieves high detection accuracy while adapting data processing requirements to each user's needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Provided is a method, computer program product, and system for mitigating user dissatisfaction with a product. A processor may collect a first set of user interaction data and a first set of user sentiment data related to the product. The processor may generate a user profile for the user, including a satisfaction threshold for using the product based in part on the first set of user interaction data and the first set of user sentiment data. The processor may monitor a second set of user interaction data and a second set of user sentiment data. The processor may compare the second set of user interaction data and the second set of user sentiment data to the satisfaction threshold and determine that the user is experiencing dissatisfaction with the product when the satisfaction threshold has been exceeded. In response, the processor may output an action to reduce dissatisfaction of the user.
