Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional employee recognition systems are used, then implementation is simple, but personalization and effectiveness are insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments employee data into multiple dimensions including demographic attributes, performance metrics, engagement levels, and preferences. This segmentation enables personalized recognition plans for each employee while maintaining overall system manageability through modular data structures and processing components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an AI engine as an intermediary component that processes employee data, generates personalized recognition recommendations, and facilitates integration between HR systems and recognition platforms. This intermediary handles the complexity of personalization algorithms, shielding users from underlying system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If AI-driven personalized plans are implemented, then employee engagement improves, but data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveemployee engagementVSAvoiddata processing load
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary data aggregation and processing by integrating with existing HRIS platforms to collect employee demographic, performance, and engagement data before recognition events occur. This preliminary action prepares personalized recognition recommendations in advance, reducing real-time data processing requirements and enabling faster deployment of engagement initiatives.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

The enclosed invention concerns and provides a Recognition Savings Account (RSA) system as part of an employee benefit program. More specifically, an RSA herein includes a) a software component comprising instructions executable by a processor to enable user selection of one or more employee reward categories from a predefined or customizable set; b) a module for selecting employee recognition categories; c) a module for detailing reward types for each recognition and reward category; d) a personalization engine configured to receive structured input data and generate a weighted vector profile that adapts recognition and savings plan parameters to organization-specific factors including size, industry, workforce demographics, and core values, including company values, branding, and employee demographics; e) a module for selecting employee investment options; and f) a machine learning engine comprising one or more supervised learning models (e.g., gradient boosting or neural networks), trained on historical employer and employee data to generate personalized recognition and savings plans based on performance, engagement metrics, and demographic inputs.
