Solution Overview

Problem

Existing data processing technologies face challenges in clustering objects from documents and images, as they primarily rely on keyword-based approaches and fail to account for dynamic attributes and non-physical characteristics, limiting their ability to identify context-based similarities.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for context-based clustering of objects, which involves receiving objects with both physical and non-physical attributes, tagging non-physical attributes to physical attributes, identifying a common context, and mapping these attributes to cluster objects effectively.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If keyword-based clustering is used, then the clustering process is simple, but the clustering precision is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclustering process complexityVSAvoidclustering precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the clustering process into multiple stages: initial keyword-based clustering followed by secondary context-based clustering. This segmentation allows the system to first group objects using simple keywords, then refine these groups using contextual parameters, thereby improving precision without entirely replacing the simple initial method

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces contextual parameters as an intermediary layer between keyword matching and final clustering. These contextual parameters (such as location, time, device information) act as mediators that enhance the precision of clustering by providing additional dimensions for comparison beyond simple keyword similarity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If only physical attributes are considered, then the clustering is computationally efficient, but the adaptability is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclustering efficiencyVSAvoidclustering adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal clustering framework that can handle both physical attributes (color, shape, size) and non-physical attributes (contextual parameters like location, time, device information). This multi-functional approach allows the same clustering system to adapt to different object types and clustering requirements without requiring separate specialized systems

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

3Stability of the object's composition

If dynamic attributes are not considered, then the clustering stability is high, but the reliability decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclustering stabilityVSAvoidclustering reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces dynamics into the clustering process by incorporating contextual parameters that can change over time (such as location, time stamps, device information). This allows the clustering to adapt to changing conditions while maintaining stability through the structured framework of context-based grouping, resolving the contradiction between stability and reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

4Measurement precision

If context-based clustering is implemented, then the clustering precision is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclustering precisionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the complex context-based clustering into manageable components: extracting contextual parameters, comparing objects based on these parameters, and forming clusters. This segmentation makes the complex process more implementable while maintaining the precision benefits of context-based clustering

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A method and a system are described for context based clustering of one or more objects. The method comprises receiving, by the object clustering system, receiving, by an object clustering system, an object clustering request for one or more objects associated with a plurality of contextual parameters, where the plurality of contextual parameters comprises one or more physical attributes and one or more non-physical attributes. It further includes tagging the one or more non-physical attributes respectively to the one or more physical attributes. It further includes identifying a common context from the one or more physical attributes associated with the one or more objects based on the tagging. It further includes mapping the one or more physical attributes to the one or more objects based on the common context. It then includes clustering the one or more objects based on the mapping.
