Solution Overview

Problem

Processing large volumes of data from diverse sources is cumbersome and time-consuming, often resulting in outdated or inaccurate insights due to incompatible data formats and complex computations, which overwhelm users and complicate the extraction of meaningful information.

Innovation Solution

An automated system generates narrated analytics playlists by curating data from multiple sources, identifying attributes and relational models, and using machine-learning algorithms to extract insights, which are then summarized into user-targeted headlines, reducing the burden on system resources and improving data processing efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If large volumes of data are used for analysis, then better representations of performance are generated, but the computations become more complex and overwhelming to the user

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperformance representation accuracyVSAvoidcomputation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an automated analytics system that acts as an intermediary between raw data and user interpretation. The system includes a curation engine that automatically processes large datasets, generates insights, and presents them through user-friendly interfaces with narrated playlists, thereby mediating the complexity between data volume and user comprehension without requiring users to directly handle complex computations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If large volumes of data are used for analysis, then more comprehensive insights are obtained, but the ability to identify and extract desirable information is obfuscated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidinformation extraction difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements an automated extraction mechanism that selectively identifies and extracts desirable information from large datasets. The curation engine uses machine learning algorithms to automatically detect patterns, generate insights, and extract key findings without requiring manual information extraction, thereby maintaining information completeness while reducing extraction difficulty through automation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service information extraction through automated analytics processing. The curation engine autonomously processes data, generates insights, and presents results without requiring user expertise in data extraction techniques, allowing users to obtain comprehensive insights without manually navigating the complexity of large datasets

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If analysis output focuses on a portion of information, then clarity is improved, but contextual information is lost that helps understanding

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis clarityVSAvoidcontextual information
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a nested information presentation structure where insights are organized in hierarchical layers. The system presents focused findings at the surface level while nesting additional contextual information, supporting details, and related insights at deeper levels. This nested structure allows users to access comprehensive context when needed while maintaining clarity through progressive disclosure in the user interface

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

AI summary

Techniques are described for automated summarization of extracted insight data. Insight data, for instance, is summarized via headlines that include content describing insight data, such as text, images, animations, and so forth. In at least some implementations, headlines are generated in response to trigger events, such as time-based and/or user behavioral events that indicate that headlines are to be generated. Further, headlines are selected to cause insight data represented by the headlines to be presented. Implementations include headline ranking to rank and present headlines based on their relevance to different metrics, and headline deduplication to identify and/or remove duplicate headlines.
