Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for evaluating response quality in sales activities, particularly in inside sales, face challenges in obtaining sufficient call duration information for quantitative evaluation and conducting comprehensive qualitative evaluation without incurring high costs.

Innovation Solution

A response quality evaluation device that calculates index values related to response quality using data from dialogues between sales personnel and customers, and displays these values on a terminal, allowing for efficient evaluation of sales activities.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the number of samples for qualitative evaluation is increased to improve evaluation comprehensiveness, then the evaluation quality is improved, but the costs (expense and time) increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation comprehensivenessVSAvoidevaluation costs
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The evaluation system segments call data into multiple dimensions (call duration, talk ratio, customer utterance ratios, sentiment scores) that can be independently calculated and aggregated. This allows comprehensive evaluation through systematic processing of individual call records rather than requiring numerous manual samples

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual qualitative evaluation (mechanical human review) with automated computational analysis using AI models for sentiment analysis and speech processing. This substitution enables processing of large volumes of call data without proportionally increasing human labor costs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 3:

The system transforms qualitative evaluation into quantitative parameters by calculating specific metrics (call duration, talk ratio, sentiment scores) from raw call data. This parameter transformation enables automated computation and aggregation across many calls without requiring manual review of each sample

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If call duration information is collected more extensively to improve quantitative evaluation, then the evaluation accuracy is improved, but the data collection complexity and costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantitative evaluation accuracyVSAvoiddata collection complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The call data collection system is designed to universally capture multiple evaluation parameters (duration, talk ratio, sentiment) through a single integrated data collection process. This multi-functional approach avoids the need for separate data collection mechanisms for each metric, reducing overall system complexity

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary data processing layer that automatically extracts and structures evaluation parameters from raw call recordings. This intermediary layer simplifies data collection by handling the complexity of parameter extraction automatically, allowing accurate quantitative evaluation without manual intervention

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
