Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems lack the ability to provide real-time previews and ratings of individuals, goods, and services, as well as offer recommendations based on profiled data and ongoing interactions, limiting their effectiveness in facilitating personal relationships, employment, and service transactions.

Innovation Solution

A computer-based system that allows users to upload video clips, rate matches in real-time, and receive recommendations through a mobile application using algorithms that analyze user profiles and rating history to suggest optimal matches, with a digital assistant providing conversation topics and promotional suggestions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional text-based search and matching systems are used, then users can search for individuals, goods, and services, but they cannot preview or rate matches in real-time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time preview and rating capabilityVSAvoidsystem functionality
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by generating video previews of matches before users make decisions. Video clips are created and made available for user review in advance of any rating or interaction, allowing users to preview candidates, products, or services before committing time or resources to further engagement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements continuous feedback loops where user ratings of video previews are collected in real-time and fed back into the matching algorithm. This feedback mechanism allows the system to learn from user preferences and improve future match recommendations, creating a dynamic adaptation process that enhances precision over time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If the system provides recommendations based on profiled data and ongoing interactions, then recommendation accuracy improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecommendation accuracyVSAvoidalgorithm complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The matching algorithm is designed to be dynamic rather than static. It continuously adapts to user behavior by processing ongoing interactions such as video views, ratings, and engagement patterns. The system's recommendation engine evolves over time, adjusting match criteria and weighting based on observed user preferences and feedback.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary analysis of user profiles and interaction patterns to pre-compute potential matches before users actively search. By anticipating user needs based on profile data and historical behavior, the system prepares and presents relevant recommendations in advance, improving response time and accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Loss of information

If video clips are used for previews, then user engagement and information quality improve, but data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation qualityVSAvoiddata processing energy
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the essential visual information from video clips needed for effective previewing. Rather than processing entire high-resolution videos, the system extracts key frames, thumbnails, or condensed visual representations that capture the essential information while dramatically reducing processing requirements and energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates simplified copies or representations of video content for preview purposes. These copies may include lower-resolution versions, key frame extracts, or metadata-rich thumbnails that preserve the essential information quality users need while requiring minimal processing energy and bandwidth.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

A computerized matching system enable users to utilize video clips to promote and/or find a person/people, place, or consumer item. The system is a recommendation service, embodied preferably in a mobile app, suggesting potential matches for its users. These suggestions are based upon the information and data entered by the users in their user profiles, as well as their Ideal Match Criteria (i.e. what it is they are seeking). The suggestions are also based upon algorithms that analyze and learn from available rating history data to make predictions on potential matches, utilizing rating trends of that user (i.e. the prior ratings entered by that user during their usage of the system while viewing other videos) as well as the rating trends of other users who have rated the same videos in a similar manner (herein referred to as Similar Rating Groups, or SRGs).
