Intelligent Document System with Augmented Semantics
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in understanding and navigating documents, particularly those with lengthy terms and conditions, due to the lack of a rich natural language interface in file-centric processing, which limits their ability to efficiently find key information and comprehend agreements.
Innovation Solution
An intelligent document system is developed, featuring a document interface that provides a natural language interface for users to interact with documents, including question answering and dynamic navigation, using augmented semantics and ontology to facilitate understanding and action-taking, with AI-driven features for processing natural language queries and providing relevant information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If file-centric processing is used to maintain document portability and persistence, then document delivery and storage are simplified, but the ability to provide rich natural language interface and interactive navigation is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent embeds an intelligent document object within the existing file structure. The intelligent document contains augmented semantics, ontology, and interactive capabilities nested inside the traditional file format, allowing the file to maintain its portability while gaining advanced interactive features through the nested intelligent layer
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary intelligent document layer that sits between the traditional file system and the user interface. This intermediary translates natural language queries into document navigation actions, bridging the gap between simple file delivery and rich interactive navigation without requiring complete system architectural overhaul
2Loss of information
If users read entire documents to find key information, then complete understanding is achieved, but time consumption increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts key information, semantics, and essential meaning from the full document and stores it in an augmented format with metadata and ontology. This extracted essence can be quickly queried and presented to users, eliminating the need to read entire documents while preserving the complete information needed for understanding
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary processing of documents to extract and structure key information, semantics, and ontology before user interaction. This advance preparation creates an indexed and augmented document representation that enables rapid information retrieval and natural language querying without requiring users to read through the entire document
3Quantity of substance
If small font and dense text are used to fit more content, then document information density increases, but readability and user comprehension decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The patent moves information from the two-dimensional text space into a multi-dimensional semantic space through ontology and structured metadata. This dimensional transformation allows users to navigate and query document content through semantic relationships rather than linear text scanning, effectively increasing accessible information density without compromising readability
Data Source
AI summary
An intelligent document system provides one or more users, who are recipients of documents, with a way to “interact” with the documents for example for the purpose of understanding the content of the documents, and taking appropriate action in response to receiving the documents. Interacting with one or more documents can include navigating the documents guided by semantic content of the documents, asking questions that are answered based on the content of the documents. In some examples, the documents are “dynamic” in that users can manipulate data in the document for example for multiple different views or analyses. In some examples, the documents are augmented semantics and ontology that will allow the user to accurately navigate the document and achieve the natural interfacing they desire.
