Facet Value Visualization for Multi-Facet Cognitive Association
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current data and text analytics systems are limited in their ability to effectively present visualizations of facet values for multiple facets, hindering users' cognitive associations among objects.
Innovation Solution
A computer program product and method that generates visualizations of facet values for objects, allowing users to select and drill down into specific facet values, with dynamic display regions such as word clouds, to reveal correlations and frequencies, enabling deeper insights into object associations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If current data and text analytics systems are used to present visualizations of facet values, then the system can display facet values for one or two facets, but the system cannot effectively present visualizations of facet values for multiple facets simultaneously
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the visualization of multiple facets by creating separate display regions for different facets. Each facet value visualization is rendered in its own designated region, allowing multiple facets to be presented simultaneously without overwhelming the user interface. This segmentation enables the system to handle multiple facets while maintaining manageable complexity through organized spatial separation.
2Ease of operation
If traditional dashboards with graphic controls are used, then abstraction by users is enabled, but cognitive associations among objects based on facets are hindered
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from traditional dashboard graphic controls to a word cloud visualization dimension. By representing facet values as words with varying sizes, colors, and spatial arrangements in a word cloud, the system enables users to make cognitive associations based on visual proximity, size relationships, and color patterns. This dimensional change from abstract controls to visual semantic representation preserves and enhances cognitive association information while maintaining ease of operation through intuitive visual interaction.

AI summary
Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for generating visualizations of facet values for facets defined over a collection of objects. The objects are processed to determine facet values for the objects for a specified facet. A first visualization is generated of representations of the determined facet values for the objects. User selection is received of one of the facet values represented in the generated first visualization. A determination is made of objects having the user selected facet value and a determination is made of at least one facet value for the specified facet for each of the determined objects having the selected facet value. A second visualization of representations of the determined at least one facet value is generated.
