Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional user profiling methods, such as standardized questionnaires, lack flexibility and accuracy due to standardized questions with limited discrete options, leading to potential muscle memory responses and reduced user engagement, resulting in incomplete or inaccurate profiles.

Innovation Solution

A system that generates user profiles based on user sentiment metrics by adjusting visual and audible representations of these metrics, allowing users to input feelings intuitively through proportional, brightness, hue, saturation, volume, and tone adjustments, with dynamic and variable sentiment analysis, and incorporating sensor and environmental data for a more comprehensive profile.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If standardized questionnaires are used to generate user profiles, then the method is simple and easy to implement, but the accuracy and flexibility of the profile is reduced due to limited discrete options

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of implementationVSAvoidprofile accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the questionnaire from a discrete option format to a continuous parameter adjustment format. Users can dynamically adjust visual parameters (size, brightness, color intensity) and audible parameters (volume, tone) to represent their sentiment magnitude, enabling continuous rather than discrete measurement of user sentiments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adds visual and audible dimensions to the traditional text-based questionnaire. By representing sentiment metrics through visual characteristics (size, brightness, hue, saturation) and audible characteristics (volume, tone), the system creates multiple dimensions for users to express their feelings, thereby improving measurement precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Stability of the object's composition

If the same questionnaire is repeated to obtain updated user profiles, then the process is consistent and systematic, but user engagement decreases leading to muscle memory responses and reduced accuracy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocess consistencyVSAvoiduser engagement
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces dynamic and interactive elements to the profile update process. Instead of static questionnaire items, users dynamically adjust visual and audible representations of their sentiments. The system can also dynamically change the presentation of metrics between updates, maintaining process consistency while preventing muscle memory effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical act of reading and selecting from text options with more engaging sensory interactions. Users manipulate visual elements (resizing, brightness adjustment, color selection) and audible elements (volume, tone), creating a more engaging experience that reduces automatic responding.

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

3Device complexity

If discrete options are provided in questionnaires, then the questionnaire structure is simple and standardized, but the user's actual sentiments may not be accurately captured

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequestionnaire structureVSAvoidsentiment accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the measurement parameter from discrete categorical options to continuous adjustable parameters. Users can fine-tune the magnitude of their sentiments by adjusting visual and audible characteristics, allowing for precise expression of their actual feelings rather than being constrained to predefined discrete levels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

The invention provides a system for obtaining a user profile comprising one or more user sentiment metrics. The system includes a display unit adapted to display a representation of each of the one or more user sentiment metrics, each representation occupying a proportion of a display area of the display unit, and a user interface in communication with the display unit adapted to receive a user input. The system further comprises a processing unit, in communication with the display unit and the user interface, adapted to control the display unit to adjust a characteristic of the representation of a user sentiment metric based on the user input, the characteristic of the representation of a user sentiment metric representing the magnitude of the user sentiment metric and generate a user profile based on the adjusted characteristic of each representation of the one or more user sentiment metrics.
