Solution Overview

Problem

Current social networking platforms isolate users' activities and services, requiring separate accounts and logins for each service provider, making it difficult to integrate assets and communicate across platforms, leading to complicated account management and limited collaboration.

Innovation Solution

A deliverable work system that allows users to create and manage a social network by hosting and combining various tools and information units, enabling direct-link relationships and interaction across different platforms without the need for multiple accounts, using a projector to project the system and provide a compatible environment for execution.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If users register accounts on multiple social network service providers to access different services and content, then users can access various services and content on different platforms, but users face complicated account management and difficulty in communicating across platforms

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess to various services and contentVSAvoidaccount management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal account system where a single user account can access multiple social network services and content across different platforms. The system allows users to register once and authenticate across multiple service providers, eliminating the need for separate accounts on each platform while maintaining access to diverse services and content.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If service providers create separate platforms for different social groups with distributed storage, then each service provider can manage its own services independently, but users experience difficulty in integrating and managing assets across different platforms

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindependent service managementVSAvoidasset integration and management
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a universal authentication and account management system that acts as an intermediary between users and multiple service providers. This intermediary layer enables seamless integration of assets across different platforms by providing unified access controls and coordination mechanisms, allowing users to manage distributed resources through a single interface while service providers maintain independent operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If users install and register on single integrated platforms to access multiple services, then users can access information through one entry point, but users still need to install and register on the platform

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesingle entry point accessVSAvoidplatform installation and registration
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the authentication and account management functionality from individual service platforms and consolidates it into a separate universal account system. This extracted universal authentication mechanism can be independently deployed and accessed across multiple platforms without requiring users to install additional software or register separately on each platform, providing single-sign-on capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

4Adaptability or versatility

If service providers provide separate applications for specific functions like con-call or forum, then each application can be optimized for its specific purpose, but users need to use registered accounts from each service provider to access these applications

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespecific function optimizationVSAvoidmultiple account requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal account system that enables single account access to multiple specialized applications and services from different service providers. The universal authentication mechanism allows users to access optimized function-specific applications (such as con-call or forum applications) without needing separate registered accounts for each service provider, maintaining application-specific optimization while eliminating multiple account requirements.

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

AI summary

A method for establishing a social network provides a user to prepare a deliverable work system and delivery the deliverable work system to other users to associate the deliverable work system. The delivering step may be repeatable by the user and the other users to establish a direct-link relationship of the deliverable work system and each of the other users, such that the user and the other users are able to work together in the deliverable work system. And a home system for hosting and managing the deliverable work system owned by the user may have a social network system with a associated second home system owned by any of the other users by the deliverable work system.
