Solution Overview

Problem

The current process for ensuring scientific documents comply with a standard format is manual, making it time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to errors, which hinders efficient operations like reading, editing, and publishing.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method and system that transforms documents into a format comprising objects, determines parameters based on these objects, and evaluates them against composition rules using a rule engine to generate compliance findings and conclusions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual verification process is used for standard format compliance, then evaluation accuracy can be maintained, but time consumption and labor intensity increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation accuracyVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical verification process with an automated computer-based system that transforms documents into structured objects and evaluates them against composition rules, eliminating human labor while maintaining evaluation accuracy through systematic automated assessment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables documents to be automatically evaluated against composition rules without human intervention, with the automated composition evaluator independently transforming, analyzing, and assessing document compliance, reducing both time consumption and labor requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If manual verification process is used for standard format compliance, then complex evaluation can be performed, but labor intensity and error rate increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation capabilityVSAvoiderror rate
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual evaluation with an automated system that systematically transforms documents into structured objects and evaluates them against composition rules, maintaining complex evaluation capability while eliminating human errors through consistent automated assessment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides automated feedback by evaluating document objects against composition rules and generating compliance results, enabling continuous verification without human intervention and eliminating errors associated with manual assessment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If automated composition evaluation system is implemented, then productivity and speed improve, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the document evaluation process into distinct automated stages: transforming the document into structured objects, determining parameters from objects, evaluating parameters against composition rules, and generating compliance findings. This segmentation enables high productivity through automated processing while managing system complexity through modular design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary transformation step that converts documents into structured objects with defined parameters, serving as a bridge between the input document and the evaluation rules. This intermediary representation simplifies the evaluation process and enables automated processing without excessive complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Systems and methods are provided for evaluating composition of a first file representing a document to be evaluated. An evaluation method transforms the first file to a second file. The second file includes a plurality of objects corresponding to the composition of the first file. The evaluation method also determines parameters based on the plurality of objects; evaluates the parameters based on a plurality of composition rules provided by a rule engine; generates evaluation findings and stores the evaluation findings; and generates an evaluation conclusion based on the evaluation findings. The evaluation conclusion indicates compliance of the document according to the composition rules.
