Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional electronic medical record (EMR) systems are inefficient due to their siloed data storage and navigation models, requiring users to perform multiple steps to access and manage records, leading to user fatigue and suboptimal display of information on screens.

Innovation Solution

The method involves selectively displaying entities on a screen by converting and combining attributes of documents, using techniques such as converting answer entities into text, combining prompt and answer pairs, and optimizing the layout to reduce vertical space and enhance information density, allowing for more relevant information to be displayed at once with fewer navigation operations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If traditional EMR navigation steps are used to access and view documents, then each document can be viewed individually, but the number of navigation operations (mouse clicks) increases significantly leading to user fatigue

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenavigation operationsVSAvoidtime to access information
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple documents and their contents into a single integrated display view, allowing users to access information from multiple sources simultaneously without performing sequential navigation operations for each document individually

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the traditional sequential navigation model into a parallel display model by organizing documents in a multi-dimensional layout that presents multiple pieces of information simultaneously across different spatial regions of the screen

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Loss of information

If documents are displayed with full detail, then information completeness is maintained, but the vertical space required increases requiring more scrolling

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidvertical space
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent redistributes document content across multiple spatial dimensions including horizontal placement, vertical positioning, and layered organization, allowing comprehensive information display within a compact screen real estate without requiring extensive vertical scrolling

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments document content into distinct informational elements that can be selectively displayed and organized in a compact layout, presenting only relevant portions of each document while maintaining access to the complete information set

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Quantity of substance

If multiple documents are displayed simultaneously, then information density increases, but screen space for each individual document decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation densityVSAvoiddisplay area per document
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes multiple spatial dimensions including horizontal arrangement, vertical layering, and depth-based organization to accommodate multiple documents simultaneously, effectively increasing information density without compromising the display area allocated to each individual document

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

AI summary

A method of selectively displaying entities from a plurality of documents on a screen. The method includes converting the attribute of an entity into converted text and combining the converted text with the attribute of another entity to yield a prompt-answer pair. The method further includes displaying the prompt-answer pair on a screen while excluding other entities.
