Solution Overview

Problem

5G user calls lack user requirement guidance, system complexity, and monotonous prompts, leading to reduced user interest and cumbersome operational processes, with new features requiring user learning and causing psychological barriers.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating a VoNR+ platform connected to a virtual human service unit and a call session control function unit, performing replacement processing on video objects with virtual human images to enhance user interaction and adapt to existing communication networks without requiring user retraining.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If new system customization features are developed to enhance user vividness, then user interaction quality is improved, but users need to learn and understand the new feature, creating psychological barriers

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interaction qualityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The virtual human service unit automatically provides personalized interaction guidance and perception of user requirements without requiring users to learn complex new features. The system serves itself by autonomously adapting to user needs and providing appropriate responses, eliminating the learning curve barrier while maintaining high interaction quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the interaction parameters by using virtual human images and automated guidance mechanisms instead of requiring users to learn new feature operations. This transforms the user experience from learning-based interaction to intuitive interaction, improving ease of operation while maintaining system functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Device complexity

If passive response interactions are used in 5G calls, then system implementation is simplified, but user requirement guidance and perception are lacking

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem implementation simplicityVSAvoiduser requirement guidance
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The virtual human service unit provides active feedback by perceiving user requirements and providing guidance during the call interaction. This feedback mechanism ensures that user requirements are not lost but rather actively guided and perceived, transforming passive responses into active, requirement-aware interactions while maintaining relatively simple system implementation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The virtual human service unit acts as an intermediary between the user and the 5G call system. It mediates the interaction by providing guidance and perception of user requirements, bridging the gap between simple system implementation and sophisticated user interaction needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Device complexity

If monotonous prompts are used in the system, then implementation cost is reduced, but user interest is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimplementation costVSAvoiduser interest
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses virtual human images to create a copy of a human-like interface that can engage users more effectively than monotonous prompts. This virtual human copy provides personalized interaction guidance and maintains user interest through natural-looking responses, while the implementation cost remains manageable by leveraging existing virtual human service units.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
