Solution Overview

Problem

Existing data categorization methods, such as Japanese Patent No. 5801611, are limited to character data and struggle to efficiently categorize diverse data types like document, image, and audio data without precise content comparison.

Innovation Solution

A data categorizing system that includes a data acquiring unit, an evaluation component extracting unit, a score value calculating unit, and a categorization determining unit to determine the type of data by calculating score values based on extracted evaluation components for all known types, allowing for categorization beyond character data into document, image, and audio data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If precise content comparison is used to categorize data, then categorization accuracy is improved, but processing complexity and time increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecategorization accuracyVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts key evaluation components from data components to create simplified representations for categorization. Instead of comparing entire data contents, the system extracts specific features (evaluation components) that are sufficient for determining data types, thereby reducing processing complexity while maintaining categorization accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments data into data components and further segments those into evaluation components. This hierarchical segmentation allows the system to process only relevant portions of data for categorization purposes, avoiding the need to analyze complete data contents and reducing overall processing complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If data categorization is extended to multiple data types (document, image, audio), then system versatility is improved, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata type coverageVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal categorization system that handles multiple data types (character data, document data, image data, audio data) through a common framework. The same evaluation component extraction and score calculation processes are applied across all data types, allowing the system to achieve versatility without proportionally increasing processing complexity for each new data type

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