Solution Overview

Problem

Existing comment board and forum systems face challenges in managing large volumes of user-generated data records, leading to delays and inaccuracies in publishing relevant information, as they rely on human or computerized moderation based solely on content and user reputation, and require significant storage and processing capacity.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for generating combined data records that prioritize records based on the geographical location of the electronic device that provided the data, allowing only proximal records to be included, thereby improving relevance and accuracy and reducing storage and processing needs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If a large number of users are allowed to contribute data records to increase information availability, then the amount of information available increases, but the systems become open to abuse with unrelated and inaccurate information being posted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveamount of informationVSAvoidaccuracy of information
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an automated moderation system that acts as an intermediary between users and the published content. This system uses natural language processing and machine learning to automatically filter and verify data records, eliminating the need for manual moderation while maintaining information quality. The intermediary automatically detects unrelated and inaccurate information, resolving the contradiction between allowing broad user participation and preventing abuse.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical system of manual moderation with an automated computational system. Instead of relying on human moderators to review each data record, the system uses algorithms to automatically assess relevance and accuracy. This substitution enables the system to handle large volumes of user-generated content while maintaining consistent quality control, resolving the contradiction between information quantity and reliability.

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

2Reliability

If moderators review data records to ensure accuracy, then information quality improves, but delays occur between data record submission and publication

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of informationVSAvoiddelay in publication
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual moderation with automated computational moderation using natural language processing and machine learning. This automation eliminates the time delay inherent in human review processes while maintaining accurate assessment of data record quality. The system can evaluate multiple data records simultaneously and instantaneously, resolving the contradiction between ensuring accuracy and minimizing publication delays.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The automated moderation system operates continuously without interruption, processing data records as they are submitted without the breaks, fatigue, or sequential processing limitations of human moderators. This continuous operation ensures both high accuracy through consistent application of evaluation criteria and minimal delay through parallel processing capabilities, resolving the time-quality tradeoff.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Reliability

If all contributing data records are stored and processed for review, then comprehensive moderation is possible, but significant storage and processing capacity is required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of moderationVSAvoidstorage and processing resources
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and prioritizes only the most relevant features of data records for moderation analysis, such as key semantic elements and contextual markers, rather than processing entire data records. This extraction approach maintains comprehensive moderation capability by focusing on critical quality indicators while significantly reducing the storage and computational resources required, resolving the contradiction between thorough review and resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies different levels of moderation scrutiny to different portions of data records based on their importance. Critical sections receive intensive analysis while less important portions receive lighter processing. This localized quality approach ensures comprehensive moderation of essential elements while minimizing overall resource requirements, resolving the contradiction between completeness and resource usage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

4Ease of operation

If multiple threads are created from different initial posts, then user contributions are organized, but users become overwhelmed by the large number of related combined data records

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveorganization of contributionsVSAvoidnumber of threads
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent automatically merges data records that are semantically related or discuss the same topic, even if they originate from different initial posts. This merging consolidates multiple threads into unified discussions, maintaining organizational benefits while reducing the total number of separate threads. The system uses natural language processing to identify related content and automatically integrate it, resolving the contradiction between organization and complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a unified moderation and organization framework that handles multiple data records and potential threads through a single integrated system. This universal approach allows the system to manage related content across what would traditionally be multiple threads without requiring users to navigate separate structures, reducing perceived complexity while maintaining organizational capabilities.

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

AI summary

A terminal supporting apparatus 10 supports at least one of two ends of a control cable having an inner cable and an outer cable. The terminal supporting apparatus 10 includes: a hub 12 attached to an end of the outer cable, and having a flange on an outer periphery thereof; a cushion member 14 disposed to surround the outer periphery of the hub, and being in contact with the flange at both a front surface and a rear surface of the flange; and a housing 17 having a housing part that houses the cushion member. When an angle formed between an axis of the housing part and an axis of the hub is varied in a range of 0.0° to 6.0°, a diagonal static spring constant of the cushion member in an axial direction thereof may be in a range of 350 to 600 N/mm.
