Solution Overview

Problem

Existing keyword-based search methods, such as TF-IDF, fail to consider context and synonyms in natural language queries, leading to inaccurate matching of user intents with AI productivity tool-enablable software applications.

Innovation Solution

A hybrid approach combining semantic similarity search, like cosine similarity, with TF-IDF to enhance the accuracy of matching user queries by considering both context and critical keywords, using vectorized intent values for natural language processing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If keyword-based search methods like TF-IDF are used, then critical keywords can be identified, but context and synonyms are not considered leading to inaccurate matching

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvekeyword matching accuracyVSAvoidcontext and synonym information
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines TF-IDF keyword-based search with cosine similarity semantic search into a hybrid approach. The TF-IDF component identifies critical keywords while the cosine similarity component captures context and synonyms by comparing vectorized representations of queries and capabilities. This merging resolves the contradiction by integrating both keyword precision and contextual understanding.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The search system uses a composite scoring mechanism that integrates results from two different search methods (TF-IDF and cosine similarity). By combining these distinct approaches into a unified hybrid search model, the system achieves both keyword accuracy and contextual relevance, similar to how composite materials combine different properties to achieve superior performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Loss of information

If semantic similarity search like cosine similarity is used, then context and synonyms are considered, but critical keyword matching may be weakened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontext and synonym informationVSAvoidkeyword matching accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The hybrid search system merges cosine similarity semantic search with TF-IDF keyword-based search. While cosine similarity captures context and synonyms through vector comparison, TF-IDF simultaneously identifies and weights critical keywords. The combination ensures that both contextual understanding and keyword precision are maintained in the final search results.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Measurement precision

If a hybrid approach combining semantic similarity search with TF-IDF is used, then both context and critical keywords are considered, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequery matching accuracyVSAvoidsearch system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The hybrid search system is segmented into distinct functional components: a TF-IDF processing module for keyword extraction and weighting, a cosine similarity module for semantic comparison, and a result integration module. This segmentation allows each component to specialize in its strength while working together, managing complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal hybrid search framework that can handle both keyword-based and semantic-based queries through a single integrated system. This multi-functional approach eliminates the need for separate search systems for different query types, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive search capabilities.

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