Document Analysis System for Contract Summary Generation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users often agree to contracts or EULA without fully understanding the terms due to lengthy and complex language, leading to a lack of informed consent.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus and method that analyzes original documents to identify predefined user topics, generates a summary document including topic locations and translations, and optionally provides recommendations for alternative products or services that align with user preferences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If users read the entire contract or EULA document, then they can fully understand the terms, but it takes too much time
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the most relevant and important clauses from the full contract document, separating essential information from less critical content. This allows users to quickly review key terms without reading the entire lengthy agreement, directly resolving the time versus understanding contradiction
Solution Approach 2:
The contract document is divided into multiple sections and clauses, with the system identifying and presenting only the most significant segments. This segmentation enables users to focus on critical terms while skipping less important portions, balancing time investment with information quality
2Measurement precision
If the contract or EULA uses detailed and precise language, then the terms are clear and unambiguous, but the language becomes difficult to understand
Solution Approach 1:
The system acts as an intermediary between the original contract language and the user, analyzing the precise legal terminology and presenting it in a simplified, more accessible format. This mediator approach maintains the precision of the original terms while improving understandability through selective presentation and explanation
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies different levels of detail and explanation to different parts of the contract based on their importance and complexity. Critical clauses receive more attention and simplified explanation, while less important sections are summarized or omitted, creating a locally optimized reading experience that balances precision and readability

AI summary
An apparatus and a method for generating a summary document are disclosed. For example, the apparatus includes a document receiving device to receive an original document, a computer readable memory to store one or more topics that are predefined by a user and a translation dictionary, a document analysis device in communication with the document receiving device to analyze the original document based on the user to identify the one or more topics that are predefined by the user, and a summary document generator to generate the summary document that includes the one or more topics, a location of the one or more topics in the original document and a translation of the one or more topics obtained from the translation dictionary.
