Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Data holders often possess large datasets but are unsure about the types of analysis that can be performed with their data.
Innovation Solution
An analysis device and method that includes conversion rule storage and analysis units to derive information on possible analyses by converting given data meanings using stored conversion rules, allowing users to determine applicable analyses based on estimated data meanings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If data holders possess large datasets, then the quantity of data increases, but the ability to determine what kind of analysis can be performed deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a conversion rule storage unit and analysis unit as intermediaries between the raw data and the user. The conversion rule storage unit stores multiple conversion rules that define relationships between different data meanings, while the analysis unit automatically applies these rules to the given data meanings to derive information about possible analyses. This intermediary system eliminates the need for users to manually determine analyzable types, thus resolving the contradiction between having large datasets and being able to easily determine what analyses can be performed.
2Measurement precision
If manual determination of analyzable types is required, then analysis precision may be maintained, but productivity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a self-service mechanism where the analysis unit automatically performs the determination of analyzable types by itself, without requiring manual human intervention. The system uses the conversion rules stored in the conversion rule storage unit to automatically derive information about what kinds of analyses can be performed on the given data meanings. This automation maintains precision through systematic rule application while dramatically improving productivity by eliminating manual determination processes.

AI summary
The conversion rule storage means 75 stores multiple conversion rules for converting one or more meanings of data to other one or more meanings of data. The analysis means 76 derives, based on one or more given meanings of data and the conversion rules, information indicating what kind of analysis can be performed using the data with the meaning.
