Solution Overview

Problem

Existing data query technologies face challenges in efficiency, requiring users to rely on professionals for data extraction, which can delay data acquisition and analysis.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for data query that displays a data query page with a control for constructing and executing data queries, allowing users to input and visualize query results through a message card with query condition and visual display areas.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If users rely on professionals for data extraction, then data query accuracy is ensured, but data acquisition time increases and efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata query efficiencyVSAvoiduser independence in data query
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service by enabling non-professional users to independently perform data queries through a visual interface. Users can drag and drop fields to construct queries without professional assistance, allowing the system to serve itself by empowering end-users with previously unavailable self-query capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary layer - a visual query builder interface - that mediates between the user and the complex data query system. This intermediary translates simple drag-and-drop operations into complex query statements, bridging the gap between user capability and system functionality without requiring users to learn complex query languages.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If complex query systems are provided, then query capability is enhanced, but system complexity increases and usability decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata query capabilityVSAvoidquery system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses copying by creating a visual representation (copy) of the query construction process. Instead of requiring users to write complex query code, the system copies the logical structure of queries into a visual drag-and-drop format, maintaining full query functionality while simplifying the user interface to basic field selection and arrangement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies segmentation by breaking down complex queries into discrete, draggable field components. Each field, filter, and operation is segmented into independent units that users can selectively combine, allowing complex query capabilities to be built from simple, manageable pieces rather than requiring mastery of monolithic query syntax.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Loss of information

If visual display areas are added to message cards, then result understanding is improved, but information display space is consumed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequery result understandingVSAvoidmessage card display area
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from one-dimensional text-based result display to two-dimensional visual representation. By adding visual elements such as charts, graphs, and structured layouts to the message card, the system conveys more information about query results within the same physical space, utilizing spatial arrangement to enhance comprehension without linearly increasing display area requirements.

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