Solution Overview

Problem

Users face difficulty in remembering prior resolutions with virtual assistants and often repeat inquiries due to the lack of memory and processing power utilization in conventional systems, leading to prolonged interactions and increased bandwidth consumption.

Innovation Solution

A system that analyzes user interactions with virtual assistants, provides prior resolutions relevant to current inquiries, compares them with financial data, and offers recommended resolutions, while reallocating processing power by reducing repetitive queries.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the virtual assistant system stores and retrieves prior interaction resolutions, then user interaction efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interaction efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments prior interactions into classified groups based on topic or type, storing resolutions in an organized manner. This allows efficient retrieval without requiring the entire interaction history to be processed simultaneously, reducing memory access complexity while maintaining productivity benefits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-processes and classifies prior interactions during initial storage, organizing resolutions by category before they are needed. This preliminary classification reduces the computational burden during current interactions, as the system only needs to search within relevant categories rather than examining all prior interactions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of time

If the system analyzes and compares current inquiries with prior resolutions, then repetitive queries are reduced, but processing power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverepetitive queriesVSAvoidprocessing power consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies different levels of analysis to different types of inquiries. For routine queries matching existing resolutions, a simple pattern match is sufficient. For more complex inquiries, the system applies deeper analysis only to the relevant portions, rather than uniformly processing all interactions at maximum computational intensity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system adjusts processing parameters dynamically based on inquiry characteristics. When a current inquiry shows high similarity to prior resolutions, the system reduces the depth of analysis required. The threshold for matching and the level of comparison are adjusted based on the specific context, optimizing processing power usage while effectively reducing repetitive queries.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If the system implements comprehensive memory for prior interactions, then resolution accuracy is improved, but bandwidth consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresolution accuracyVSAvoidbandwidth consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the essential elements of prior interactions—specifically the classification labels and key resolution outcomes—rather than transmitting or storing complete interaction transcripts. This extraction approach maintains resolution accuracy by preserving the critical matching information while significantly reducing the bandwidth required to access and process prior interaction data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

A system includes a processing circuit configured to receive an input from a user device associated with a user during an interaction with a virtual assistant executed by the processing circuit. The processing circuit is further configured to determine a classification associated with the input, identify a prior user interaction with a virtual assistant associated with the classification, determine a prior resolution including an action available to the user based on the prior user interaction, determine if the action satisfies a threshold, and generate and provide an output corresponding to the prior resolution via the user device.
