Solution Overview

Problem

Existing collaboration platforms face challenges in determining the relevance of linked content without manually loading and browsing entire content items, making it difficult to efficiently summarize and manage linked content across multiple platforms.

Innovation Solution

A centralized summary generation service that utilizes a generative output engine to generate summaries of linked content within selectable graphical objects, providing a consistent user experience across platforms by integrating with various software platforms through a common editor frame.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If employees manually load and browse entire content items to determine relevance, then they can assess linked content accurately, but this process is time-consuming and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of content relevance assessmentVSAvoidtime required to assess linked content
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and displays key metadata and summary information from linked content items directly in the interface without requiring users to open the full content. This extraction of essential information allows users to assess relevance quickly while maintaining accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary processing of content items by pre-generating summaries, extracting keywords, and organizing metadata before users need to review them. This advance preparation enables fast relevance assessment when users interact with linked content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If the system integrates with multiple software platforms, then it provides versatility and broad applicability, but this increases system complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecross-platform integration capabilityVSAvoidsystem architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal content generation service that can operate across multiple software platforms through a common interface. This single service handles content summarization, metadata extraction, and link management for different platforms, eliminating the need for separate implementations for each platform.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary content generation service that acts as a mediator between multiple software platforms and the content analysis functionality. This intermediary layer standardizes interactions and abstracts platform-specific complexities, allowing seamless integration without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of information

If the system generates detailed summaries of linked content, then it improves content understanding, but this increases processing time and computational resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of content informationVSAvoidcontent processing speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by generating summaries with varying levels of detail based on user needs and context. Rather than uniformly detailed summaries for all content, the system adapts the depth of summarization to the specific situation, providing sufficient information for relevance assessment without unnecessary processing overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs partial summarization by extracting only the most relevant portions and key information from linked content rather than processing entire documents. This selective approach maintains information completeness for decision-making while significantly reducing processing time and computational resources required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Embodiments described herein relate to systems and methods for content summary generation within a content collaboration system. A graphical user interface (200b) for a platform of the system may include selectable graphical objects, which may contain a portion of content obtained from target content, and other selectable elements and graphics. A user may be provided with an input to request a summary of the target content. The system may generate a prompt and provide to a generative output engine instructions to prepare such summary, and generate within the graphical user interface (200b) a summary including natural language. The summary may be a summary of a page, a set of messages, a list of actions, key decisions, or items and summaries related to the target content. Processing may include populating the summary with system-specific mentions, links, tables, video, audio, and so on, which may be specific to permissions for the user.
