Solution Overview

Problem

Existing network sites face challenges in returning up-to-date results for complex queries and navigating vast content arrays, leading to delays and inaccurate results, which consume significant computational resources.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a communication session system that allows users to interact with a smart virtual agent in real time, using a first machine learning model to analyze user profiles and predict relevant information, which is then processed by a generative ML model to generate responsive messages.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional search and navigation methods are used to handle complex queries and vast content arrays, then comprehensive search capabilities are provided, but computational resource consumption increases significantly and response time delays occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse timeVSAvoidcomputational resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a virtual agent as an intermediary between users and the network site content. The virtual agent pre-processes and structures information, maintaining context across interactions, which reduces the computational burden on traditional search systems and accelerates response times for complex queries

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If traditional search systems process complex queries with multiple parameters, then comprehensive search results are returned, but computational resource consumption and processing delays increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesearch result accuracyVSAvoidquery processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The virtual agent performs preliminary actions by maintaining context and understanding user intent across multiple interactions. This preliminary processing of information reduces the time required to generate accurate search results, as the system does not need to re-process all query parameters from scratch with each interaction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If users navigate through vast arrays of content manually, then comprehensive browsing is enabled, but user time and interaction complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent browsing capabilityVSAvoiduser interaction simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The virtual agent provides self-service by proactively managing information delivery to users. It maintains context, anticipates user needs, and delivers relevant information without requiring users to manually navigate through vast content arrays, thereby simplifying interactions while maintaining comprehensive browsing capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A system is described for allowing a user to communicate with an agent of a listing network platform. The system receives, by a network site, a user interaction in a communication session with an agent of a listing network platform. The system analyzes, by a first machine learning model, a profile associated with the user on the listing network platform to predict a subset of information that is relevant to the user interaction with the communication session. The system combines the subset of information into a prompt and processes the prompt by a generative machine learning model to generate a message that responds to the user interaction. The system, in response to receiving the user interaction, presents the message by the agent of the listing network platform to the user in a user interface of the listing network platform.
