Information Processing System for Efficient Attribute Correction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Correcting attribute values in a two-dimensional table displaying statistical information is time-consuming and labor-intensive for users, as they need to individually update multiple files.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that allows users to select a row or column in a two-dimensional table, move it to a destination, and automatically update the attribute values of corresponding files, reducing the need for individual corrections by aggregating and re-aggregating data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a user individually corrects the attribute values of multiple files, then the accuracy of statistical information is improved, but the time and effort required for correction increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the correction operations for multiple files into a single operation. By selecting a row or column in the two-dimensional table and specifying a movement destination, the system combines and executes attribute value corrections for all corresponding files simultaneously, rather than requiring individual corrections for each file.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically updating the attribute values of multiple files based on the user's selection in the two-dimensional table. The processor automatically reflects the statistical information in the movement destination and changes the attribute values without requiring manual intervention for each file.
2Measurement precision
If a user individually corrects attribute values in multiple files, then data accuracy is improved, but the operational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the correction operation into two distinct components: (1) selecting a row or column in the two-dimensional table to identify the source data, and (2) specifying a movement destination to define the target attribute value. This segmentation simplifies the operation by breaking down the complex task of correcting multiple files into manageable steps.
Solution Approach 2:
The two-dimensional table serves as an intermediary between the user and the multiple files. Instead of directly manipulating each file, the user interacts with the table to select rows or columns, and the system uses this intermediary structure to automatically determine which files need correction and what the correct attribute values should be.
3Productivity
If the system automatically updates attribute values based on table selection, then correction efficiency is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The processor performs multiple functions through a single mechanism. By receiving a row or column selection and a movement destination, the system universally handles various correction scenarios (different files, different attribute values) through the same operational framework, reducing the need for multiple specialized correction processes.

AI summary
An information processing system includes a processor configured to: in a two-dimensional table in which an attribute value of a first attribute given to a file is used as a header of each row and an attribute value of a second attribute given to the file is used as a header of each column, display statistical information of the file corresponding to the attribute value of the first attribute and the attribute value of the second attribute; receive a row or a column of the two-dimensional table selected by a user and a movement destination of the row or the column; reflect statistical information of a file corresponding to the received row or column of the two-dimensional table in the movement destination and delete the received row or column of the two-dimensional table from the two-dimensional table; and change an attribute value of the file corresponding to the received row or column of the two-dimensional table to an attribute value of the movement destination.
