Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional interaction systems struggle to update user characteristics in real time, leading to inappropriate responses due to the user's changing tastes and characteristics, as they rely on manual selection by the user to update information, which can result in inconsistent or outdated persona information.

Innovation Solution

A determination device that includes an input unit for receiving user reactions, a generation unit to generate persona information based on these reactions, a determination unit to assess consistency with past information, and an update unit to automatically update the persona information based on this consistency, ensuring real-time accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual selection by user is used to update persona information, then information accuracy is maintained through user confirmation, but information timeliness deteriorates as updates cannot occur in real-time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersona information accuracyVSAvoidinformation update delay
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically generates persona information by analyzing user reactions without requiring manual user intervention. The generation unit creates persona information autonomously based on observed user behavior, and the determination unit automatically validates consistency, enabling real-time updates while maintaining accuracy through systematic verification rather than manual confirmation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where user reactions are continuously analyzed to generate and validate persona information. The determination unit provides feedback by assessing consistency between generated persona information and past user behavior, enabling automatic real-time updates while maintaining accuracy through continuous validation loops

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Loss of time

If persona information is updated frequently to reflect changing user characteristics, then information timeliness is improved, but information consistency deteriorates due to potential conflicts with past information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation update frequencyVSAvoidpersona information consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The determination unit performs preliminary consistency checks before updating persona information. By assessing whether generated persona information is consistent with past user behavior before committing the update, the system prevents contradictory information from being stored, thereby maintaining consistency while enabling frequent updates

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts persona information based on consistency assessment. When generated persona information is consistent with past behavior, updates are applied; when inconsistent, updates are blocked or adjusted. This dynamic approach enables frequent updates while maintaining information consistency through adaptive validation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Loss of time

If automatic update system is implemented to reflect real-time user characteristics, then information timeliness is improved, but system complexity increases due to additional processing units

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation update real-time capabilityVSAvoidsystem structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The determination unit combines multiple functions into a single component: it assesses consistency between generated persona information and past user behavior, makes update decisions, and validates information quality. This merging approach enables real-time automatic updates while minimizing system complexity by consolidating processing functions rather than adding separate components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The determination unit serves multiple purposes: consistency assessment, update validation, and quality control. This multi-functional design enables real-time automatic persona information updates without requiring separate specialized components for each function, thereby reducing overall system complexity while achieving real-time capability

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