Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems for presenting products on displays for user sorting and selection lack the ability to automatically generate new product suggestions based on algorithmic reconfiguration of design elements and market trend analysis, failing to provide real-time tailored offerings without manual intervention.

Innovation Solution

A method that identifies users and stores components with user-specific and market-based weights, using a weighted random selection process to generate and display product representations, allowing for real-time creation and display of new product offerings tailored to individual users and market trends.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If products are manually curated and displayed on e-commerce platforms, then product quality and relevance can be maintained, but the system cannot respond in real-time to changing user preferences and market trends

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to adapt to user preferences and market trendsVSAvoidtime delay in updating product offerings
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically generating and updating product recommendations without manual intervention. The recommendation engine continuously analyzes user behavior data and market trends to autonomously create personalized product offerings, eliminating the need for manual curation while maintaining real-time adaptability to changing preferences and trends.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If the system stores and processes detailed user input data and market trend data for each user, then personalized and trend-informed product recommendations can be generated, but the data processing complexity and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization capabilityVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments user data and market data into distinct components that can be processed independently. User input data (preferences, behavior) and market trend data are separated and weighted differently, allowing the recommendation engine to process each data type through specialized algorithms before combining them to generate personalized recommendations, thereby reducing overall processing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Productivity

If the system generates new product suggestions through algorithmic reconfiguration of design elements, then real-time tailored offerings can be created, but the system requires sophisticated algorithms and computational power

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespeed of product recommendation generationVSAvoidalgorithmic complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing and weighting user data and market data before the actual recommendation generation. User preferences and market trends are analyzed and assigned weights in advance, creating a ready-to-use framework that enables rapid product recommendation generation when needed, thus improving productivity while managing algorithmic complexity through pre-computation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A system and method is provided for generating new product offerings for display in which products are decoupled into components and the components are weighted based on user-specific preferences and market trends. The weighted components are then recompiled into new product offerings based on a probabilistic selection. Each component may be associated with related or otherwise applicable components and these associated components may also be incorporated into a new product offering for display during the probabilistic selection process. The selection and display process may also be tailored to specific users by adjusting weights based on preferences of those specific users.
