Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional data clustering techniques fail to effectively identify duplications among documents and provide a continuous flow of information, leading to inefficiencies and confusion in information retrieval due to the heterogeneous nature of multimedia content.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for clustering document objects based on semantic context, which identifies object chunks, determines document portions, and categorizes them into hierarchies to provide relevant information retrieval by matching user queries with categorized object chunks.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If conventional clustering techniques are used to organize data into clusters, then data can be grouped together, but information duplication occurs and retrieval efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation organizationVSAvoidretrieval efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments documents into granular object chunks based on semantic context rather than treating entire documents as units. This fine-grained segmentation allows the system to identify and group only the relevant information portions, preventing duplication while maintaining retrieval efficiency. Each object chunk is independently analyzed and clustered, enabling precise information organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary clustering mechanism that operates between the raw document data and the final retrieved information. This intermediary layer processes and reorganizes object chunks into coherent clusters, filtering out duplications and establishing a continuous flow of information that maintains both organization and retrieval efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If documents with overlapping information are clustered together, then related documents are grouped, but information duplication and confusion increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation relevanceVSAvoidinformation duplication
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality analysis by examining the semantic context and information density of specific object chunks within documents. Instead of uniformly treating all document portions equally, the system identifies and prioritizes locally significant information segments, allowing related documents to be clustered while filtering out duplicative content through localized analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms that continuously monitor and adjust the clustering process. By analyzing the information content and overlap patterns of object chunks, the system receives feedback about duplication tendencies and automatically adjusts clustering decisions to maintain information relevance while preventing duplication.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If dynamic clustering of multimedia content is performed, then data can be organized into bins, but the heterogeneous nature of data makes clustering challenging

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata organization capabilityVSAvoidclustering complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments heterogeneous multimedia content into standardized object chunks, transforming diverse data types into a uniform representation that can be systematically clustered. This segmentation approach maintains adaptability to different data types while simplifying the clustering process through standardized processing of discrete objects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameters for clustering from traditional document-level metrics to object-chunk-level semantic context parameters. This parameter transformation enables the system to handle heterogeneous multimedia content uniformly by focusing on the semantic properties of individual objects rather than the heterogeneity of the entire data structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
