Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for improving or automating task processes are limited as they focus on specific tasks rather than entire task processes, failing to consider the correlation between tasks, which hinders the prediction of subsequent tasks and automation of the entire process.

Innovation Solution

A method involving an electronic device that collects work history data, including log and image data, to create sequence data for a task prediction module using neural networks, enabling the prediction of subsequent tasks by analyzing the entire task process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If existing methods focus on specific tasks for analysis, then analysis complexity is reduced, but the ability to predict subsequent tasks and automate entire processes is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis complexityVSAvoidtask prediction accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the task analysis process into distinct components: work history collection module that gathers raw data, preprocessing module that structures data into sequences, and task prediction module that generates predictions. This segmentation allows the system to handle entire task processes systematically while maintaining manageable complexity at each stage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from analyzing isolated specific tasks to analyzing entire task processes by adding the dimension of temporal sequencing. The preprocessing module creates sequence data that captures the chronological order and relationships between multiple tasks, enabling predictions about subsequent tasks based on historical task patterns.

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

2Measurement precision

If the analysis target is expanded to entire task processes, then task prediction capability is improved, but data collection and processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetask process analysis accuracyVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The preprocessing module performs preliminary actions by collecting and structuring work history data into standardized sequence formats before prediction analysis. This preprocessing step organizes raw work history data into a consistent structure that the task prediction module can efficiently process, reducing the complexity of the overall system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The preprocessing module acts as an intermediary between work history collection and task prediction. It transforms raw, unstructured work history data into structured sequence data that bridges the gap between data collection and prediction analysis, simplifying the interfaces between system components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If work history data including log and image data is collected for entire task process analysis, then prediction reliability is improved, but data storage requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction reliabilityVSAvoiddata storage volume
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the essential features and patterns from comprehensive work history data that are necessary for task prediction. The preprocessing module identifies and extracts relevant sequential patterns from log and image data, discarding redundant information while maintaining prediction reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system collects comprehensive work history data including both log and image data (excessive action) to ensure sufficient information for accurate prediction, but the preprocessing module processes only the portions necessary for creating sequence data (partial action), balancing data collection thoroughness with processing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
