AI Solves "Frustration Points" in Education: Adnes Co., Ltd. Obtains Patent for Technology Automatically Generating Bypass Routes in Roadmaps Based on Learning Difficulties

Global leader in generative AI innovation, Adnes Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Yotsuya, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Kota Mikami) is pleased to announce that it has obtained a patent (Patent No. 7820002) for an information processing system in which AI automatically optimizes and updates roadmaps based on learners' progress and difficulties. ## ■ Background of Patent Acquisition **Challenges in Education: "Obsolete Roadmaps" and "Instructional Costs"** In conventional human resource development and educational schools, roadmaps provided to students were rarely updated after creation. This often led to students dropping out without their specific "sticking points" being visualized. While existing project management tools could "visualize" progress, responding to struggling students still depended on instructors' experience and judgment. This presented a structural limit where maintaining educational quality and reducing instructional costs were in trade-off. Furthermore, simply utilizing generative AI by processing vast amounts of information as-is resulted in insufficient accuracy, making it difficult to generate practical roadmaps. ## ■ Overview of the Patented Technology **Detecting Difficulties and AI Automatically Generating "Bypass Routes"** The recently acquired patented technology is a system where AI continuously improves roadmaps to a goal by interpreting learners' inquiries as "signals of difficulty." **** **1. Dynamic Branch Route (Bypass Route) Generation** It automatically processes user questions and dynamically adds/updates "supplementary steps" or "bypass routes" to the roadmap. This creates an environment where students can continue learning without getting stuck. **2. High-Precision "Two-Stage AI Prompt Processing"** When utilizing generative AI, it adopts a two-stage process: first, structuring information (1st prompt), and then generating support information based on that structured data (2nd prompt). This enables the generation of overwhelmingly higher-precision roadmaps and answers compared to traditional AI generation. ## ■ Value Provided by This Technology **Reducing Instructor Burden and Maximizing Learner Achievement** By introducing this technology, learners will always have a clear understanding of "what to do next," significantly reducing the time instructors spend on individual responses. Past inquiries and answers are accumulated and shared in the roadmap, eliminating the need to respond to duplicate questions. As a result, educational institutions can expect a reduction in student dropout rates and an improvement in goal attainment rates, enabling the provision of high-quality education that does not rely on individual instructors. ## ■ Future Outlook **Towards a Social Infrastructure Supporting All "Goal Achievements"** With this patented technology as a stepping stone, Adnes Co., Ltd. will accelerate its expansion into all situations where "people achieve goals," including not only educational schools but also corporate employee training and onboarding. By providing a system where AI accompanies and supports individuals' visions and actions as a social infrastructure, we aim to build a society where everyone can realize their aspirations without frustration.
