Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies fail to effectively exploit the vast amount of personal data collected through social networking sites, such as blogs and microblogs, to develop personalized plans that help users achieve specific target outcomes, as this data is scattered across multiple platforms and difficult to utilize for achieving targeted goals.

Innovation Solution

A computationally implemented method and system that provides reported aspects from source users, originally reported by sensors, to develop templates that end users can emulate to achieve target outcomes, by identifying relevant aspects and incorporating them into personalized plans.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If personal data is collected from multiple social networking platforms and sensors, then the quantity and variety of data increases, but the difficulty of utilizing this scattered data for targeted goals increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantity of personal dataVSAvoiddifficulty of utilizing scattered data
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the scattered personal data from multiple sources into distinct reported aspects, each with specific attributes and characteristics. This segmentation allows the system to organize and process data from different sensors and social networking platforms separately, making the overall data utilization task more manageable and less overwhelming.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer that acts as a mediator between the scattered personal data sources and the template development process. This intermediary system collects, standardizes, and processes the data from multiple platforms, transforming it into a unified format that can be effectively used for developing personalized templates without requiring direct access to each individual data source.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If sensor data is used to create personalized templates, then the effectiveness of achieving target outcomes improves, but the complexity of the system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffectiveness of achieving target outcomesVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates simplified copies or representations of complex sensor data and user behaviors in the form of reported aspects and templates. Instead of directly processing raw sensor data, the system creates abstracted versions that capture the essential characteristics needed for template development, reducing computational complexity while maintaining effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms sensor data into reported aspects by changing the parameters and attributes of the data. This transformation process converts raw sensor readings into standardized aspects with specific properties, making the data more suitable for template development and reducing the complexity of subsequent processing steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If reported aspects from multiple sources are integrated, then the personalization capability improves, but the time required to process and develop templates increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization capabilityVSAvoidtime to process and develop templates
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-processing and organizing sensor data into reported aspects before the actual template development process. This preliminary organization of data, including standardization and attribute extraction, is completed in advance, so that when template development begins, the data is already prepared and ready for efficient processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by focusing on extracting and processing only the most relevant reported aspects needed for template development, rather than processing all available sensor data in full detail. This selective approach maintains personalization capability while reducing the overall processing time by concentrating on essential data elements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
