Solution Overview

Problem

Existing document creation systems fail to effectively tailor proposals to the interests of the target person at the sales destination, leading to reduced engagement and effectiveness.

Innovation Solution

A document creation apparatus that acquires information about a person, estimates their topics of interest, and creates documents by selecting and combining relevant articles from a database, ensuring the content aligns with the target person's interests.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If company information such as business type and scale is used to create proposals, then the document creation process is simplified, but the proposal content does not correspond to the interest of the person in charge at the company

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of document creationVSAvoidadaptability to target person's interest
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the target audience into specific persons (e.g., person in charge) and extracts their individual interest information separately from general company information. This allows proposals to be tailored to specific individuals while maintaining efficient automated creation processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary information processing layer that matches proposal content with the target person's interests. This intermediary layer processes both company information and personal interest data to generate customized proposals, bridging the gap between standardized creation and personalized content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If generic company information is used for all proposals, then the document creation efficiency is maintained, but the engagement and effectiveness of the proposal decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedocument creation efficiencyVSAvoideffectiveness of proposal
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-collecting and organizing interest information about target persons before proposal creation. This advance preparation enables efficient automated proposal generation that is customized to individual interests, maintaining high productivity while improving effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameters of proposal content based on the target person's interest information. By dynamically adjusting content parameters (topics, focus areas, messaging) according to individual preferences, the system maintains efficient automated creation while significantly improving proposal effectiveness and engagement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
