Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing matching services face challenges in ensuring satisfactory user experiences due to random pairings, leading to short conversations or dissatisfaction, as users have varying preferences for conversational partners.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device and method that identifies a first user entering a match-pending group, obtains match suitability information among multiple users, and provides match information based on user preferences and conditions, including filtering and premium service considerations, to enhance the likelihood of matching with desired counterparts.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users are matched completely randomly, then the matching process is simple and fast, but the conversation duration and user satisfaction become short and unsatisfactory

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvematching process simplicityVSAvoidconversation duration

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDuration of action of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by collecting user profile information, preferences, and behavior data before the matching process. This advance preparation enables the system to calculate compatibility scores and generate targeted match recommendations, thereby extending conversation duration without complicating the user-facing matching process.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary matching server that acts as a mediator between users. This server calculates compatibility scores based on user data and generates match recommendations, thereby extending conversation duration without complicating the user-facing matching process.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Device complexity

If users are matched completely randomly, then the system complexity remains low, but user experience and satisfaction deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesystem complexityVSAvoiduser experience satisfaction

Core Design Contradiction:

Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters by incorporating multiple dimensions of user data (profiles, preferences, behavior patterns) into the matching algorithm. This enables more reliable and satisfactory user experiences while maintaining manageable system complexity through structured data processing.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If filtering services are implemented to match user preferences, then matching accuracy improves, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvematching accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by collecting and preprocessing user profile information, preferences, and behavior data before the matching process. This advance preparation enables the system to calculate compatibility scores and generate targeted match recommendations, thereby extending conversation duration without complicating the user-facing matching process.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements partial filtering by applying filter conditions selectively based on user settings and match suitability. Not all filtering criteria are applied uniformly to all users, which reduces unnecessary processing time while maintaining matching accuracy for those who require detailed filtering.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #16Partial or excessive action

4Manufacturing precision

If match suitability is calculated for all user pairs, then matching quality improves, but computational load and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvematching qualityVSAvoidcomputational load

Core Design Contradiction:

Manufacturing precisionVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

Inventive Principle:

Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:
