Solution Overview

Problem

Current data analysis tools lack flexibility and fail to facilitate understanding of data relevance, often requiring rigid syntax and lacking mechanisms for revising inaccurate data results or providing meaningful visualizations.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for natural language query processing and visualization that allows users to input conversational queries, receive responsive data, and generate customizable graphical visualizations based on structural characteristics, iteratively refining queries for enhanced understanding.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If current search mechanisms employ syntax requirements, then data retrieval capability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to rigid and difficult-to-use syntax

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata retrieval capabilityVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical syntax-based query system with an AI model that processes natural language questions. The AI model translates conversational queries into executable database queries, eliminating the need for users to learn rigid syntax while maintaining precise data retrieval capabilities through intelligent question interpretation and transformation.

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

2Loss of information

If current systems provide data results, then information availability is improved, but understanding of data relevance deteriorates due to lack of visualization mechanisms

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation availabilityVSAvoiddata understanding
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent adds a visualization dimension to data presentation by generating graphical representations alongside tabular results. The system creates charts, graphs, and visual summaries that transform raw data into intuitive visual formats, enabling users to quickly grasp data patterns, relationships, and relevance without merely scanning text-based results.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Productivity

If current systems execute queries successfully, then productivity is improved, but adaptability deteriorates due to lack of mechanisms for revising inaccurate results

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequery execution efficiencyVSAvoidquery revision capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback loop where the AI model continuously interacts with users to refine query results. When results are inaccurate or incomplete, users can provide feedback through follow-up questions or corrections, and the AI model adjusts subsequent queries accordingly. This enables iterative refinement of results while maintaining efficient query execution through learned optimizations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Systems and methods for natural language query processing and visualization. In embodiments, a structure associated with a dataset and a natural language question are obtained and provided to an AI model to request, from the AI model, a query that may be used for retrieving data from the dataset responsive to the natural language question. The query is received form the AI model and executed against the data in the dataset to retrieve data responsive to the natural language question. In embodiments, the data responsive to the natural language question is analyzed to determine one or more structural characteristics of the data responsive to the natural language question, and a graphical visualization of the data responsive to the natural language question is generated based on the one or more structural characteristics of the data responsive to the natural language question.
