Solution Overview

Problem

Existing document display assistance technologies are cumbersome and inaccurate in highlighting significant or relevant words in a specific field, as they require manual input and subjective selection of keywords.

Innovation Solution

A document display assistance system that uses a learned word-selection model applied with machine learning to estimate the significance of words in a document, classifying them into selection-target, non-selection-target, or indeterminate words, and displays the selected words in a visually differentiated manner.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual input and subjective selection of keywords are used to highlight significant words, then the system can identify relevant information, but the process becomes cumbersome and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of keyword selectionVSAvoidtime required for manual keyword input
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automatic keyword selection through machine learning models that analyze document content and independently identify significant words without requiring manual user input. The word-selection model and field-determination model automatically determine which words to highlight based on their significance to the specific field, eliminating the need for users to manually enter keywords.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The manual mechanical process of selecting and inputting keywords is replaced by an automated information processing system using machine learning algorithms. The system substitutes human cognitive effort with computational analysis, where the word-selection model and field-determination model automatically process document text and identify significant keywords through pattern recognition and statistical analysis.

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

2Ease of operation

If users manually select keywords to search documents, then they can find relevant information, but the accuracy of identifying truly significant words is reduced due to subjective selection

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconvenience of document searchVSAvoidaccuracy of significance identification
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The subjective human judgment process is replaced by objective machine learning models that analyze document content systematically. The word-selection model uses statistical methods and pattern recognition to objectively determine word significance, eliminating biases and inconsistencies inherent in manual keyword selection by users.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the field-determination model first identifies the specific field of the document, then the word-selection model uses this field information to refine keyword selection. This multi-stage feedback process ensures that selected keywords are highly relevant to both the document content and the specific field, improving accuracy while maintaining ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Measurement precision

If the system processes and highlights multiple significant words automatically, then accuracy improves, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of significant word identificationVSAvoidcomplexity of automated processing system
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The complex automated processing system is divided into distinct functional modules: a field-determination model that identifies the document's specific field, a word-selection model that selects significant keywords based on field context, and a document display assistance system that presents results. This segmentation allows each module to specialize in a specific task, improving overall accuracy while making the system more manageable and maintainable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

The present invention provides a document display assistance system which estimates and highlights significant words in a document of a specific field. The system comprises: a database in which selection-target words and non-selection-target words are registered; a learned word-selection model having been applied with machine learning for estimating whether a word is a selection-target word; a text pre-processing unit which segments words from an accepted display-target document; a word classification unit which classifies, based on the database, the word into any of a selection-target word, a non-selection-target word, and an indeterminate word; a text post-processing unit which generates output data by imparting a predetermined attribute to a predetermined word in the display-target document; and an output unit which outputs the output data. If a label is estimated indicating that the indeterminate word classified by the word classification unit is a selection-target word, the word selection model classifies the indeterminate word into a selection-target word and the text post-processing unit imparts the predetermined attribute to the classified selection-target word.
