Document Unit Linking for Accurate Cross-Document Comparison
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing devices struggle to efficiently display the relationship between documents in a user-friendly manner, particularly in the context of legal agreements, by comparing document vectors and generating analysis results that highlight relevant articles associated with contract clauses.
Innovation Solution
A document processing system that divides document information into predefined units, calculates relevance between these units, links them one-to-one based on relevance, and displays the linked units in combination, allowing users to easily identify relationships and differences between documents.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If document information is divided into predefined units and linked based on relevance calculation, then the ability to accurately display relationships between documents is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides document information into predefined units (such as clauses, articles, or paragraphs) to enable granular comparison and relevance calculation between specific segments of documents. This segmentation allows the system to handle complex document relationships by processing individual units rather than entire documents at once.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a relevance calculation mechanism as an intermediary that quantifies the relationship between document units. This intermediary component (relevance calculator) bridges the gap between raw document text and the displayed relationships, enabling automated determination of which units should be linked based on calculated relevance scores.
2Manufacturing precision
If one-to-one linking is performed based on relevance calculation, then the accuracy of document relationship display is improved, but the processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary division of document information into standardized units before relevance calculation. By pre-structuring the documents into comparable units with consistent formatting and segmentation, the system reduces the computational complexity of the subsequent relevance calculation and linking processes.
3Ease of operation
If document units are displayed in combination with their linked units, then the ease of understanding document relationships is improved, but the display complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges linked document units into a combined display format that shows relationships contextually. Instead of displaying documents separately, the system combines relevant units from different documents in a unified view, allowing users to understand relationships by seeing the units together in context.

AI summary
An information processing device includes one or more hardware processors configured to divide first document information and second document information in a predefined unit; calculate a degree of relevance between units included in the first document information and units included in the second document information; link the units included in the first document information with the units included in the second document information on a one-to-one basis according to the degree of relevance; and display combinations of the units in the first document information and the units in the second document information linked with each other.
