Solution Overview

Problem

Existing operator interface technologies struggle to accurately estimate user proficiency based on operation logs, as the time interval for key operations does not necessarily reflect proficiency, leading to potential errors and inefficiencies in input and output operations.

Innovation Solution

A skill index provision device that calculates a skill index for users based on their operation logs, incorporating factors such as the accuracy and speed of key operations, and uses this index to provide adaptive interfaces that enhance operator efficiency and accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If the time interval for key operation is used to judge operator proficiency, then the estimation process is simple, but the accuracy of proficiency estimation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveestimation process complexityVSAvoidproficiency estimation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameters used for proficiency estimation from simple time interval to a composite index incorporating multiple parameters: key operation accuracy rate and dispersion values of operation speed. This transforms the estimation from a single-dimension metric to a multi-dimensional skill index that accurately reflects operator proficiency across different task aspects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The skill index is constructed as a composite measure combining multiple operational parameters (accuracy rate, speed dispersion) similar to how composite materials combine different properties. This composite approach allows the system to capture the nuanced reality of operator proficiency that cannot be represented by a single parameter like time interval alone.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Device complexity

If operator proficiency is not accurately estimated, then the interface remains simple, but the work task efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterface complexityVSAvoidwork task efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The interface dynamically adapts its complexity and functionality based on the calculated skill index. For operators with higher proficiency scores, the system provides more advanced features and less guidance, while for lower proficiency operators, it offers more support and simplified interactions. This dynamic adjustment optimizes work task efficiency by matching interface complexity to individual operator capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies different levels of interface support and complexity to different operators based on their individual skill indices. Rather than using a uniform interface for all users, the system tailors the interface quality and features locally to each operator's demonstrated proficiency level, thereby optimizing efficiency for each user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
