Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems face difficulties in effectively managing and presenting large amounts of data in a way that allows users to easily understand and navigate through it, especially when dealing with multiple attributes, leading to confusion in distinguishing and searching within the data.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that utilizes a (N−1)-dimensional space to plot data with (N) types of attributes, linking them with curved lines to represent data streams, allowing users to interact with a three-dimensional graph using gestures detected by a motion capture device, enabling intuitive navigation and search within the data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If data with multiple attributes are displayed in traditional two-dimensional formats, then the system is simple to operate, but the data cannot be clearly distinguished and searched when dealing with large amounts of data
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from traditional two-dimensional data display to three-dimensional space representation. Data points are plotted in 3D space where each axis represents a different attribute, enabling clear distinction of multiple data attributes simultaneously while maintaining intuitive visual comprehension.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments data into individual data points that can be independently positioned in 3D space based on their attribute values. Each data point represents a discrete record, allowing users to visually separate and distinguish different data elements through their spatial distribution.
2Productivity
If traditional data search methods are used, then the system is easy to operate, but searching with fuzzy criteria becomes difficult and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the search parameter space from flat 2D interfaces to 3D attribute space. Users can perform fuzzy searches by defining spatial regions or ranges along multiple attribute axes simultaneously, enabling efficient retrieval of data matching complex multi-criteria conditions through intuitive spatial operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a 3D spatial representation as an intermediary between the user and the underlying data structure. This spatial mediator allows users to interact with complex multi-attribute data through intuitive geometric operations rather than navigating complex query interfaces.
3Loss of information
If more data attributes are displayed simultaneously, then data information completeness improves, but the visual clarity and user understanding deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent utilizes three-dimensional space to accommodate multiple data attributes, with each axis representing a different attribute dimension. This allows simultaneous display of multiple attributes while maintaining visual clarity through the natural spatial separation provided by the third dimension, avoiding the clutter that would occur in 2D representations.

AI summary
An information processing system includes an information processing device, a display apparatus, and an operation detecting device. The control circuit allocates (N−1) or more mutually different attributes to respective axes of a (N−1)-dimensional space, generates a graph plotting the plurality pieces of stored data on the (N−1)-dimensional space as respective points corresponding to the plurality pieces of data, classifies the plurality pieces of plotted data into groups using another one attribute other than the (N−1) or more attributes; and processes the plurality of points so as to be identified by the group. The display apparatus displays the graph processed by the control circuit. The operation detecting device detects an action performed by a user. The control circuit moves, rotates, zooms in, and zooms out the graph displayed on the display apparatus depending on the user's action detected by the operation detecting device.
