Project Matching Interface With Skill-Building Content Filters
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing matching systems fail to address the inadequacy of skills in users planning to utilize the system as applicants, leading to obstacles in their plans to improve practical skills or accept tasks with high unit prices, and lack education systems to overcome this inadequacy.
Innovation Solution
A matching system that integrates a computing device to register and display educational content related to posted projects, allowing applicants to acquire necessary skills through associated educational content before applying for tasks.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users apply for posted tasks without sufficient skills, then they can access more tasks and improve practical skills, but their application success rate decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides educational content about posted tasks before users apply, enabling them to acquire necessary skills in advance. This preliminary action resolves the contradiction by allowing users to expand their skill diversity through pre-task education while maintaining application success rates through improved preparedness
2Adaptability or versatility
If the matching system provides only task matching without educational support, then the system complexity remains low, but users cannot overcome skill inadequacy
Solution Approach 1:
The matching system is enhanced to serve multiple functions: not only matching users with tasks but also providing educational content about those tasks. This multi-functionality enables skill acquisition within the existing system framework, resolving the contradiction between improved adaptability and increased complexity by integrating education into the matching process
3Reliability
If educational content is integrated into the matching system, then users can acquire necessary skills, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges task matching functionality with educational content delivery by associating educational materials directly with posted tasks. This combination allows users to access relevant educational content in the context of specific tasks they are considering, improving user capability while managing system complexity through integrated design
Data Source
AI summary
A matching system that matches requesters with applicants by displaying educational content associated with posted projects. The system includes a first applicant device operated by a first applicant and a computing device.) in communication with the first applicant device and a database. The database stores first disclosure information defining a disclosure range for posted projects and second disclosure information defining a separate, independent disclosure range for associated educational content. In response to a request from the first applicant device, the computing device executes a filtering process that identifies a subset of posted projects permitted for disclosure based on the first disclosure information and identifies a subset of educational content permitted for disclosure based on the second disclosure information. The computing device generates for display a customized user interface presenting only the permitted projects and their corresponding permitted educational content to be displayed to the first applicant device.
