Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for providing customized services using big data technologies are inadequate in generating accurate user profiles for personalized recommendations, as they fail to effectively utilize diverse data sources and advanced analytics to understand user characteristics and behaviors.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for generating user profiles by acquiring source data, clustering relevant information, and using artificial neural networks to determine user characteristics such as having children, marriage status, pet ownership, transportation methods, and employment status, which are then used to recommend services.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional big data technologies are used for user profiling, then data processing capability is maintained, but profile accuracy and personalization effectiveness deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser profile accuracyVSAvoidpersonalization effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms user data from raw format into structured profile parameters through clustering analysis. User behaviors, preferences, and characteristics are converted into quantifiable parameters that can be systematically processed and used for accurate service recommendations, directly improving profile accuracy and personalization effectiveness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intelligent device as an intermediary between data sources and service recommendation systems. This device performs clustering analysis and generates user profiles that bridge the gap between raw data and personalized services, enhancing both measurement precision and adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If diverse data sources are utilized for user profiling, then profile comprehensiveness is improved, but data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprofile comprehensivenessVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments diverse user data into distinct clusters based on similarity and characteristics. By dividing comprehensive data into manageable clusters, the system maintains profile comprehensiveness while reducing processing complexity through organized data structures that can be handled more efficiently

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines multiple data sources (user behaviors, preferences, demographics) into unified user profiles through clustering. This merging process integrates diverse information into a coherent structure that preserves comprehensiveness while simplifying the overall data representation for processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
