Solution Overview

Problem

Individuals with limited technical knowledge struggle to choose the appropriate technology-based products or services, such as smartphones, Wi-Fi routers, or Internet access services, based on their actual needs.

Innovation Solution

A service provider system collects and analyzes data usage information from subscriber devices to determine suitable product or service offerings, presenting personalized recommendations through an online interface.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If service providers offer multiple technology-based products and services, then customer options and market coverage are improved, but customer confusion and difficulty in making informed choices increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice offering diversityVSAvoidcustomer decision-making ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically analyzes subscriber data usage patterns and independently determines appropriate product or service offerings, eliminating the need for subscribers to manually evaluate multiple options. The computing system performs the analysis and selection process autonomously based on observed usage behavior.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors subscriber data usage information and uses this feedback to dynamically determine and present relevant product or service offerings. This closed-loop approach ensures that recommendations are based on actual subscriber behavior patterns rather than static profiles.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Loss of information

If subscribers are presented with detailed technology specifications, then product information completeness is improved, but technical comprehension requirements and decision complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduct information completenessVSAvoiddecision-making complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system transforms detailed technical specifications into simplified usage-based recommendations by changing the parameter framework from technical characteristics to usage patterns. Instead of presenting raw specifications, the system analyzes actual usage behavior and translates it into actionable product recommendations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The computing system acts as an intermediary between detailed product information and subscriber decision-making. It processes complex technical data into simplified, usage-based recommendations that are easier for subscribers to understand and act upon without losing essential information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If real-time data analysis is performed for each subscriber, then recommendation accuracy and personalization are improved, but computing resource consumption and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveusage analysis precisionVSAvoidcomputing resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs data analysis selectively based on actual usage patterns rather than continuously processing all available data. It analyzes data in real-time only when needed to determine product offerings, rather than maintaining constant processing, thus reducing overall computational resource consumption while maintaining precision when required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

It is determined that a device associated with a subscriber is accessing an online system of a service provider. Data usage information associated with the subscriber as accessed. Based on the data usage information, an offering from a plurality of offerings is selected, the offering including a service offering or a product offering. Information that identifies the offering is caused to be sent to the device for display.
