Computerized Training Video System for Personalized Software Updates
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Large organizations face challenges in training their workforce due to the cost and inefficiency of traditional computer-based training methods, which can discourage frequent software updates despite offering valuable enhancements.
Innovation Solution
A computerized training video system that automates the generation of video content using a user interface descriptive language (UDL) document, allowing for personalized and timely training videos to be created for new or updated applications, reducing production and deployment costs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If traditional computer-based training methods are used, then training content can be delivered to users, but the production cost is high and the process is cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service training video generation by automatically capturing application interface changes and generating training videos without manual production. The application itself provides the training content through automated interface description language processing, eliminating the need for external training material creation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical training production with automated computer-based generation. Instead of trainers manually creating videos, the system uses automated interface description language processing and video compilation to generate training materials, substituting human effort with computational processes.
2Productivity
If frequent software updates are deployed, then new features and enhancements are provided to users, but training costs increase and administrative burden increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by automatically generating training videos immediately when software updates are deployed. The interface description language captures changes in real-time, and training videos are compiled automatically, ensuring training materials are ready before users need them without requiring advance manual preparation.
Solution Approach 2:
The training video generation system is dynamic and adapts automatically to software changes. When the application interface changes, the system dynamically generates updated training videos to reflect new features, allowing frequent updates without proportional increases in training costs.
3Ease of operation
If traditional computer-based training is used, then users receive training content, but the content may be irrelevant to some users and the process is cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by providing customized training videos to different user groups based on their specific needs and roles. The interface description language can be tailored to generate training content relevant to particular user categories, ensuring each user receives appropriately targeted training rather than generic content.

AI summary
The system and method described herein provide a computerized training video system. The computerized training video system may be capable of producing video content for computerized training. A user interface descriptive language (UDL) document describe user interface features of a new or updated application. The computerized training video system may generate a training video based on the UDL document. The training video may be generated on-demand or stored in advance. The training video may be customized for a particular software release, user group. The training video may be personalized on an individual level based on a previous training history, user role, or another characteristic of the user that will view the training video.
