Solution Overview

Problem

Current database query processing systems lack efficiency and effectiveness in handling variations and nuances in user search queries, leading to inefficient processing and reduced accuracy in search results.

Innovation Solution

An adaptive natural language processing-based system that aggregates lookup data into a consolidated file, receives user search queries, monitors user interactions, and adjusts the query relevance by associating search terms with lookup data using machine learning, thereby improving search output accuracy and reducing redundant queries.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional database query processing systems are used, then the system structure is simple, but the search accuracy and effectiveness deteriorate when handling variations in user queries

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesearch accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by monitoring user interactions with search results (clicks, downloads, time spent) and using this information to continuously refine and update the consolidated lookup file. This feedback loop enables the system to learn from user behavior and improve search accuracy over time without requiring complex manual reconfiguration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-updates by automatically incorporating new search terms and variations into the consolidated lookup file based on monitored user activity. The machine learning component enables the system to autonomously adapt to query variations and expand its search capabilities without external intervention, maintaining high accuracy while managing complexity internally.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If the system incorporates machine learning to adapt to query variations, then search result relevance improves, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesearch result relevanceVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing and consolidating lookup data from multiple sources into a unified file structure before actual search queries are executed. This upfront consolidation organizes data in a way that enables faster retrieval and reduces the computational burden during real-time query processing, balancing adaptability with efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies machine learning selectively rather than to all queries uniformly. It monitors user interactions and incorporates learnings at optimized intervals, applying computational resources only when improvements are detected in user behavior patterns. This partial application of machine learning maintains reliability while avoiding excessive processing overhead for every query.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Loss of information

If the system consolidates lookup data from multiple sources, then search coverage and completeness improve, but data aggregation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesearch coverageVSAvoiddata aggregation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges multiple lookup data sources into a single consolidated lookup file with a unified structure. By combining data from various sources into one standardized format, the system achieves comprehensive search coverage while simplifying the retrieval process. The consolidation methodology standardizes data formats and relationships, reducing the operational complexity despite the increased data volume and sources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The consolidated lookup file is designed with a universal structure that can accommodate multiple data sources and various query types. This multi-functional design allows the same file to serve different search purposes and integrate diverse data formats, improving search coverage while avoiding the need for separate processing systems for each data source.

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

AI summary

A system for natural language processing-based electronic file scanning for processing database queries is provided. In particular, the system may use natural language processing on various types of lookup data to create a consolidated lookup file containing the lookup data. The system may then receive search queries from users and produce a search output based on the consolidated lookup file. Once the search output is provided to the user, the system may, based on the user's interaction with the search output, incorporate the original search query into the consolidated lookup data file using machine learning. In this way, the system may adapt to incorporate variations and nuances of search queries received from its users over time.
