Solution Overview

Problem

Existing information retrieval methods, such as RSS feeds, are passive and inefficient in extracting personalized information, as they do not actively search for related updates, making it difficult for users to obtain up-to-date information automatically.

Innovation Solution

An apparatus and method for automatic query processing that analyzes input queries to extract query conditions, creates sub-queries, determines execution conditions, and verifies query satisfaction by searching various sources like the web, cloud, or databases, allowing for continuous and targeted information retrieval.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Extent of automation

If RSS feed is used to determine website updates, then information retrieval is automated, but the system cannot actively search for related information and cannot extract personalized information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomation of information retrievalVSAvoidpersonalization capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the information retrieval process into multiple independent query types (first sub-queries for condition verification, second sub-queries for goal achievement) that can be executed selectively based on user needs, enabling both automation and personalization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts the retrieval strategy by determining execution conditions for different sub-queries based on query conditions and user profiles, allowing the automation level and personalization to adapt to specific information needs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If manual search is used to obtain up-to-date information, then personalized information can be extracted, but the process requires manual intervention and is not automated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalized information extractionVSAvoidmanual intervention requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically executing selected sub-queries and retrieving information based on predetermined conditions and user profiles, eliminating the need for manual search intervention while maintaining personalization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes operational parameters by selecting which sub-queries to execute based on query conditions and user profiles, transforming manual personalized search into automated personalized retrieval through parameter-driven query selection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If multiple sub-queries are created to verify query conditions and achieve query goals, then information retrieval accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequery condition verification accuracyVSAvoidquery processing system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the complex query processing into segmented sub-queries with specific execution conditions, where first sub-queries verify conditions and second sub-queries achieve goals, making the complex process manageable and systematic

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary action by determining execution conditions for sub-queries before actual execution, allowing the system to plan and organize multiple queries systematically, reducing operational complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

4Reliability

If continuous search is implemented for sub-queries requiring ongoing monitoring, then up-to-date information is obtained, but energy consumption and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation freshnessVSAvoidsearch process energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements periodic action by executing continuous sub-queries at determined intervals rather than continuously, obtaining up-to-date information while reducing energy consumption through scheduled periodic searches

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts search frequency based on query conditions and information criticality, performing continuous search only when necessary and reducing frequency for less critical queries, optimizing energy usage while maintaining information freshness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
