Solution Overview

Problem

Existing document processing systems fail to dynamically show how search results change with category selection and search condition adjustments, making them less user-friendly.

Innovation Solution

A document processing system that classifies document information into contract types and displays a list of contract types and search keywords with hit counts, allowing dynamic output of search result changes based on type and keyword selections.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the system displays category names and causes users to select categories to narrow down search results, then the search results can be narrowed down efficiently, but the user cannot dynamically check how search results change when category is selected or when search condition is changed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesearch efficiencyVSAvoiduser-friendliness
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The interface dynamically updates search result counts and category selections in real-time as users interact with the search interface. When users select categories or modify search keywords, the system immediately recalculates and displays updated search result information without requiring page refreshes or additional user actions, making the search process both efficient and transparent

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides immediate feedback to users by displaying the number of search results for each category and updating this information dynamically when search conditions change. This feedback mechanism allows users to understand the impact of their selections and adjustments, enabling informed decision-making during the search process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Device complexity

If the system presents a category name representing the largest cluster and causes user selection, then document sets can be narrowed down, but the system cannot dynamically output change in search result

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesearch result managementVSAvoiddynamic search adjustment
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The search interface dynamically adjusts and recalculates search results based on user interactions. When users select different categories or modify search keywords, the system immediately updates the displayed search result counts and re-ranks categories, allowing flexible exploration of different search perspectives without rigid predefined paths

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The search interface serves multiple functions simultaneously: it displays the largest cluster category, shows search result counts for all categories, allows category selection, and dynamically updates results based on keyword changes. This multi-functional design enables users to perform various search operations within a single unified interface

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

AI summary

A document processing method comprising: outputting information for displaying a search keyword input field for searching for, based on an input search keyword, document information stored in a storage unit, a type display region for selectably displaying (i.e., displaying in a selectable manner) a type decided based on the content of the document information, and a search keyword display region for displaying a search keyword based on a search history of the document information together with a number of search results of the document information searched for by the search keyword.
