Data Shaping System Curates Information Using User Modifiers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional search engines are inefficient due to the vast volume of information available, leading to users spending time reviewing irrelevant sources, validating credibility, and separating useful information from irrelevant results.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented data shaping system that uses modifiers such as time available and educational attainment to curate data from multiple datasets, generating a tailored output document that presents relevant information about two or more topics of interest.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If conventional search engines are used to search the World Wide Web, then users can access vast collections of information about every subject, but users spend excessive time reviewing irrelevant sources, validating credibility, and separating useful information from irrelevant results
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and removes irrelevant information from search results, presenting only curated content relevant to the user's interests. The curation algorithm filters out unnecessary sources and validates credibility automatically, extracting only the valuable information while discarding the rest.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary curation algorithm between the user and the vast World Wide Web. This intermediary automatically processes, filters, and curates information from multiple datasets, presenting a refined subset to the user without requiring direct engagement with the overwhelming volume of raw information.
2Adaptability or versatility
If conventional search engines present all available search results, then users have access to comprehensive information, but users must manually validate the credibility of unknown sources and separate relevant from irrelevant information
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically validating the credibility of sources and curating relevant information without user intervention. The curation algorithm independently assesses source reliability, cross-references multiple datasets, and presents validated information, freeing users from manual verification tasks.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of information validation with an automated computational system. The curation algorithm uses computational methods to assess credibility, cross-reference sources, and filter information, substituting human effort with automated intelligence.
3Reliability
If users review all search results to find useful information, then they may discover relevant data, but the cacophony of irrelevant or unhelpful search results separates users from information that drives inspiration, creativity, and epiphanies
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by curating information specifically tailored to each user's stated interests and needs. Rather than presenting uniform search results to all users, the curation algorithm adjusts the content, sources, and presentation to match individual user profiles, ensuring high relevance for each user's specific context.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes parameters such as relevance thresholds, source credibility weights, and information filtering criteria to optimize the presentation of useful information. The curation algorithm dynamically adjusts these parameters based on user feedback and interaction patterns, improving the signal-to-noise ratio of presented information.
Data Source
AI summary
The data shaping system comprises a computer implemented algorithm that uses modifiers (e.g., time available to study, educational attainment of the user, etc.) to shape data retrieved from one or more datasets for consumption by a user. A dataset may comprise text, images, video, audio, or a combination thereof. The data shaping system is configured to curate data, retrieved from selected datasets, using modifiers to shape (or assemble) an output document that is presented to the user for review. In this way, the user is provided with a curated subset of data, which is an assemblage of information about two or more topics of interest and how the two or more topics of interest are related, that has been tailored to their needs. In some implementations, the output document may be text, one or more images, audio, video, or a combination thereof.
