Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional systems require users to manually select positions for variables in a hypercube, which is time-consuming and often results in unclear variable placement, with long feedback loops and difficulty in determining optimal positioning until multiple operations are executed.

Innovation Solution

A computing system autonomously generates hypercubes by identifying features of variables and comparing them to historical data, assigning weighted grades for optimal placement, thereby organizing variables coherently and presenting data effectively without user intervention.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users manually select positions for variables in a hypercube, then variable placement can be customized, but the process is time-consuming and results in unclear variable placement

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariable placementVSAvoidhypercube generation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs variable placement automatically without requiring user intervention. The processor autonomously analyzes variable features, compares them to historical data, and assigns optimal positions in the hypercube structure, allowing the system to serve itself rather than relying on manual user operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-processes variable data by identifying features and comparing against historical hypercube data before actual hypercube generation. This preliminary analysis of variable characteristics enables the system to make informed placement decisions in advance, reducing the time required during actual hypercube construction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If users manually position variables in a hypercube, then placement flexibility is maintained, but feedback loops are prolonged and optimal positioning is difficult to determine

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevariable placement flexibilityVSAvoidfeedback loop duration
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms by comparing variable placement against historical hypercube data and performance metrics. The processor continuously refines placement decisions by learning from past hypercube configurations and user interactions, enabling rapid determination of optimal positioning through iterative feedback rather than prolonged manual trial-and-error.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical manual process of variable positioning with an automated computational system. Instead of users physically selecting and placing variables, the processor automatically performs feature analysis, historical data comparison, and optimal position assignment, substituting human manual operations with algorithmic automation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Productivity

If the system autonomously generates hypercubes using historical data comparison, then hypercube generation time is reduced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehypercube generation speedVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a universal processor that performs multiple functions: identifying variable features, comparing against historical data, calculating optimal positions, and generating hypercubes. This multi-functional approach consolidates complexity into a single versatile component rather than requiring separate specialized systems for each function, managing system complexity while maintaining high productivity.

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

AI summary

Aspects of this disclosure relate to managing hypercubes. A plurality of variables may be received from a user. Features of these variables are identified. A new hypercube data structure is generated. The hypercube is generated by assigning, using the features, a first set of variables of the plurality of variables as one or more row variables of the hypercube, assigning a second set of variables of the plurality of variables as one or more column variables of the hypercube, and assigning a variable of the plurality of variables as a nested variable of the hypercube.
