Solution Overview

Problem

The commercialization of psychological tests is hindered by financial, technological, and marketing challenges, and existing tests lack the ability to accurately diagnose psychological states due to passive response methods, limiting their effectiveness in providing comprehensive results.

Innovation Solution

A psychological test system using an open psychological scale expert platform that allows for the development of an automatic test development platform and provides a user-customized psychological test result analysis service through voice-based interactions, enabling more accurate analysis of psychological characteristics by converting voice responses into text for analysis.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional offline response type or on-line screen test type is used, then test implementation is simple, but test accuracy in identifying psychological state is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepsychological state identification accuracyVSAvoidtest system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical input methods (fingering, text typing) with voice-based bidirectional communication. The voice recognition system converts spoken responses into text automatically, enabling more natural and accurate expression of psychological states without increasing operational complexity for users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an automatic voice recognition system as an intermediary between the testee's spoken response and the test processing system. This mediator automatically converts voice to text, allowing the testee to be an active participant in voice-based communication while the system handles the technical complexity of voice processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If passive response method with direct text input is used, then operation is simple, but test results are fragmentary and limited to predetermined areas

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetest result comprehensivenessVSAvoidtest taking effort
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual text input with voice-based communication, allowing testees to express themselves more naturally and comprehensively. The voice recognition system handles the conversion automatically, maintaining ease of operation while significantly improving the adaptability and comprehensiveness of test results through bidirectional voice interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Adaptability or versatility

If exclusive possession by psychological test distributing institutions is maintained, then existing test market structure is preserved, but newly developed tests cannot easily enter the market

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetest market accessibilityVSAvoidplatform system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates an open psychological scale expert platform that serves multiple functions: storing psychological scales, managing test development, enabling bidirectional voice testing, and providing result analysis. This universal platform allows any newly developed psychological test to access the market through a standardized interface, improving market accessibility without requiring complex institutional changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an open platform as an intermediary between psychological test developers and the market. This platform mediates the distribution and commercialization process, allowing newly developed tests to enter the market more easily while the platform handles the complexity of market access, authentication, and test management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Productivity

If automatic psychological test development platform is established, then commercialization difficulties are removed, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetest commercialization efficiencyVSAvoiddevelopment platform complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent establishes an automatic psychological test development platform that integrates multiple functions: scale storage, test generation, voice-based administration, and result analysis. This multi-functional platform streamlines the commercialization process by automating test development and deployment, improving productivity despite the inherent system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements an automatic test development platform that performs test generation, customization, and deployment without requiring manual intervention for each test. The system automatically processes psychological scales, generates appropriate test formats, and makes them available for commercial use, significantly improving commercialization efficiency while the system handles its own complexity internally.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
