Auto-reuse Document Text System with Business Rule Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing solutions for document text reuse in high-volume document workflows are inefficient, as they fail to simultaneously insert information from databases and preexisting document repositories, and lack the ability to create business rules for selecting suitable information, requiring manual selection and increasing document creation time.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for automatic document text reuse that includes user-defined business rules for selecting and inserting text from preexisting documents, integrated with natural language processing, allowing users to efficiently create documents by reusing text through a user interface that automatically selects and inserts relevant information based on predetermined document types.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If existing solutions for document text reuse are used, then some text can be reused from stored documents, but users must manually select and insert text, making the process only slightly less work than retyping
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automatic text reuse without requiring manual user intervention. The application automatically determines what text to reuse, selects appropriate text from preexisting documents based on business rules, and inserts it into the new document, making the system serve itself rather than requiring user control for each text insertion operation
Solution Approach 2:
Business rules are predetermined and configured in advance to define what text should be reused, from which sources, and under what conditions. This preliminary configuration enables the system to automatically execute text reuse operations without requiring users to make decisions during document creation
2Adaptability or versatility
If existing solutions allow text reuse from preexisting documents, then some information can be reused, but the system cannot simultaneously insert information from databases and query preexisting document repositories
Solution Approach 1:
The application is designed to handle multiple types of information sources through a unified interface. It can simultaneously query databases, search preexisting document repositories, and retrieve text from both sources based on business rules, making the system versatile in handling different information sources without requiring separate specialized systems
Solution Approach 2:
The application acts as an intermediary layer between the user and multiple information sources. It receives user requests, automatically queries both databases and document repositories according to predetermined business rules, and integrates the results into a single document, simplifying the complexity by providing a unified access point
3Adaptability or versatility
If existing solutions are used for document text reuse, then text can be copied from stored documents, but users cannot create business rules to designate suitable information sources
Solution Approach 1:
Business rules are configured in advance to define information source selection criteria, matching rules, and insertion parameters. This preliminary setup allows the system to automatically determine what text to reuse from which sources without requiring users to make complex decisions during document creation, while maintaining flexibility through customizable rule parameters

AI summary
A system and method for automatically reusing document text (e.g. repeated phrases or lists) in a newly created document having a predetermined document type (e.g. medical record). The present invention determines whether business rules exist for the predetermined document type associated with the newly created document. If business rules for the predetermined document type exist, the present invention determines whether the user has previously requested document text reuse for the newly created document. If the user has not previously requested document text reuse for the newly created document, the present invention selects document text from one or more stored documents in accordance with the business rules for the predetermined document type corresponding to the newly created document. The present invention then automatically inserts the selected document text into the newly created document.
