Solution Overview

Problem

Existing autofill systems are limited to providing responses for query strings that are identical to previously encountered queries, failing to accommodate variations in phrasing across different administrative bodies.

Innovation Solution

A system utilizing a machine learning model with natural language processing to generate customized autofill options based on prior response strings, considering the relationship between users and administrative bodies, and determining articulation levels to provide tailored responses for non-identical query strings.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional autofill systems are used to provide response strings for query strings, then autofill functionality is available for identical queries, but the system cannot accommodate variations in phrasing across different administrative bodies

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to query string variationsVSAvoidaccuracy of response string matching
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the rigid parameter of exact query string matching into a flexible semantic matching system. By converting query strings into vector representations and calculating cosine similarity, the system changes the matching parameter from exact string equality to a continuous similarity score, enabling adaptation to phrasing variations while maintaining matching accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical string comparison mechanism with a machine learning-based semantic understanding system. Instead of using traditional text matching algorithms, the system employs trained models to generate vector representations and compute semantic similarity, substituting rigid mechanical operations with intelligent computational processes.

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

2Measurement precision

If customized autofill options are generated using machine learning models with natural language processing, then accuracy and adaptability improve, but computing resources and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of response string generationVSAvoidcomputing resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-training machine learning models offline and caching vector representations of query strings and response strings. This allows the system to perform complex computational work in advance, so that during actual operation, only lightweight similarity calculations are needed, significantly reducing real-time computing resource consumption while maintaining high accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by implementing a two-stage filtering process. First, a rough filtering stage identifies potentially matching responses using simplified criteria, then a more computationally intensive verification stage confirms the best match. This approach avoids performing full complex computations on all possible responses, reducing overall computing resource usage while maintaining accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Productivity

If manual input is eliminated through automated autofill, then productivity increases, but the system becomes more complex requiring additional components

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequestionnaire completion efficiencyVSAvoidsystem architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements universality by designing a multi-functional system where the same machine learning infrastructure serves multiple purposes: generating autofill suggestions, ranking responses by relevance, and adapting to different administrative bodies' query styles. This consolidated approach increases productivity while avoiding the complexity of separate specialized systems for each function.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies self-service by enabling the system to automatically learn from new query-response pairs and improve its own performance over time. The machine learning models are designed to be retrained on newly accumulated data, allowing the system to self-enhance without requiring manual intervention or complex external management infrastructure, thus improving productivity without proportional increases in system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
