Solution Overview

Problem

Users face difficulty in efficiently identifying and selecting relevant community member reviews for media content events due to the vast number of available reviews, often lacking pertinence and relevance.

Innovation Solution

A 360° content review system that presents member avatars in a virtual world, where avatars provide audio commentary on media content events, and their selection is based on interpersonal relationships with the user, facilitating the presentation of relevant reviews within a user-friendly social media platform.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If users access social media platforms to view community member reviews, then they can access a large number of reviews, but it becomes difficult and time-consuming to identify pertinent reviews

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of available reviewsVSAvoidtime to identify pertinent reviews
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses feedback mechanisms by analyzing user interactions with reviews (such as viewing patterns, selections, and consumption behavior) to refine and personalize the presentation of reviews. This feedback loop enables the system to learn user preferences and automatically prioritize relevant reviews, reducing the time users spend searching while maintaining access to comprehensive review data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes presentation parameters of reviews based on user profiles, historical behavior, and contextual information. By adjusting parameters such as review ordering, filtering criteria, and display prominence according to user-specific factors, the system transforms the static overwhelming list into a dynamically optimized presentation that surfaces pertinent reviews first.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Loss of information

If users manually browse through hundreds or thousands of reviews, then they may find relevant information, but the process is inefficient and user-unfriendly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of review information accessVSAvoidease of identifying pertinent reviews
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces an intermediary intelligence layer between the user and the vast repository of reviews. This intermediary automatically processes, filters, ranks, and presents reviews based on relevance algorithms, eliminating the need for users to manually browse through thousands of reviews while ensuring they still access complete and pertinent information through the curated presentation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by automatically performing the task of identifying and presenting pertinent reviews without requiring user intervention in the selection process. The system serves itself by using its own data and algorithms to curate the review presentation, freeing users from the manual effort of sifting through content while maintaining information completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Quantity of substance

If the system presents all available community member reviews, then users have access to comprehensive information, but the interface becomes overwhelming and complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of presented reviewsVSAvoidcomplexity of review presentation interface
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and separates the essential pertinent reviews from the mass of available reviews, presenting only the most relevant ones prominently. By taking out and highlighting the critical subset of reviews based on relevance analysis, the system maintains comprehensive information availability while simplifying the interface to display only what matters most to each user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments the vast collection of reviews into organized groups or categories based on relevance, user preferences, and contextual factors. This segmentation divides the overwhelming monolithic list into manageable, logically organized segments that are easier to navigate while collectively providing comprehensive review information across all segments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
