Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If customer service is provided via multiple communication channels (audio call, electronic messaging) to increase user accessibility, then user access to agents is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccessibility across communication channelsVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a universal task completion probability determination mechanism that functions across multiple communication channels (audio calls, electronic messaging, chat). The neural network-based analysis system processes different communication types through a unified framework, enabling consistent task completion assessment regardless of the communication medium used.

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

2Measurement precision

If speech analysis with neural networks is used to determine task completion probability, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces traditional rule-based or manual task completion assessment methods with neural network-based speech analysis. The neural networks process audio and text data to automatically determine task completion probability, substituting complex computational mechanisms for simpler but less accurate traditional approaches.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces new parameters (task complexity score, criticality score, task completion probability) to characterize and prioritize customer service tasks. By analyzing speech patterns, text content, and communication metadata, the system dynamically assigns these parameters to automatically prioritize tasks, enabling more efficient resource allocation without manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Method starts with processing, by a processor, audio signal to generate audio caller utterance and transcribed caller utterance. Processor generates identified task based on transcribed caller utterance. Processor samples audio caller utterance to generate samples of audio caller utterance. Processor generates loudness result based on loudness values of samples using loudness neural network associated with identified task. Processor generates pitch result based on pitch values of samples using pitch neural network associated with identified task. Processor generates tone result for each word in transcribed caller utterance using tone neural network associated with identified task. Using task completion probability neural network associated with identified task, processor generates task completion probability result that is based on at least one of: loudness result, pitch result, or tone result. Other embodiments are disclosed herein.
