Interactive Graphical Document Insight Element for Metadata Extraction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional search applications require users to access and open documents to determine relevance, which is time-consuming when dealing with a large number of documents, as they only provide citation lists through icons or thumbnail images without offering an efficient way to view document information.
Innovation Solution
The generation of an interactive graphical document insight element that parses metadata to provide a graphical representation of documents, allowing users to view information without opening the document, using actionable and non-actionable information displayed as icons and images, enabling direct access to document content and related actions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If users access and open documents to determine relevance, then they can view complete document information, but the process becomes time-consuming when dealing with a large number of documents
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts key information from document metadata (titles, descriptions, keywords, authors, dates) and presents it in a preview panel without requiring users to open the full document. This extraction principle allows users to view essential document information directly in the search results, significantly reducing the time needed to assess document relevance while maintaining information visibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-processing and displaying document metadata information in an organized preview format before users open the actual documents. The preview panel shows titles, descriptions, keywords, and other relevant information in advance, allowing users to make informed decisions about which documents to open, thereby reducing overall document analysis time.
2Ease of operation
If conventional search applications provide only citation lists through icons or thumbnail images, then the interface remains simple, but users cannot efficiently view document information without opening documents
Solution Approach 1:
The patent adds a new dimension to the search results interface by introducing an expandable preview panel that displays detailed document metadata. Instead of relying solely on simple icons or thumbnails, the system provides a multi-dimensional view that includes titles, descriptions, keywords, authors, and dates. This dimensional enhancement allows users to access comprehensive document information while maintaining interface simplicity through the organized layout and selective expansion capability.
3Loss of information
If users must open documents to determine relevance, then they can access complete content, but the process is inefficient for large document collections
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and displays essential document information including titles, descriptions, keywords, authors, and dates in a preview panel. This extraction allows users to assess document relevance without opening the full document, significantly improving productivity when working with large document collections while maintaining access to critical information.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements partial action by displaying only the most relevant document metadata fields in the preview panel rather than requiring users to open complete documents. The preview shows sufficient information (titles, descriptions, keywords) for most relevance assessments, allowing users to quickly filter and select documents of interest, thereby enhancing efficiency without completely eliminating the ability to access full content when needed.
Data Source
AI summary
In one embodiment, metadata associated with a document is received. At least one keyword is extracted from the received metadata, wherein the at least one keyword include at least one of actionable information and non-actionable information. Further, an interactive graphical document insight element is generated including a representation of the non-actionable information and one or more interactive icons representing the actionable information. The generated interactive graphical document insight element is rendered on a computer generated user interface.
