Solution Overview

Problem

Existing translation systems lack an efficient method to update lexicons in a personalized manner, affecting the accuracy of machine translation.

Innovation Solution

A text processing method and apparatus that extracts target keywords from a text, displays them in a graphical user interface, and imports them into a target lexicon, allowing for personalized and efficient updates.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a translator manually collects and organizes related materials to update the lexicon, then the lexicon can be updated in a personalized manner, but the process is time-consuming and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalized lexicon updateVSAvoidtime-consuming process
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically extracts keywords from the text and performs lexicon updates without requiring manual intervention. The translation engine identifies and extracts keywords autonomously, and the lexicon is updated automatically based on extracted keywords, enabling the system to serve itself and eliminating the need for translators to manually collect and organize materials.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The manual mechanical process of collecting and organizing materials is replaced by an automated computational system. The translation engine uses algorithmic keyword extraction methods to automatically identify and extract keywords from text, substituting the manual mechanical workflow with an automated digital process that is both personalized and efficient.

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

2Reliability

If the lexicon is updated manually by translators, then accuracy can be maintained, but the productivity and efficiency of the translation process decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelexicon accuracyVSAvoidtranslation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-updates by automatically extracting keywords and updating the lexicon without manual intervention. This maintains accuracy through systematic extraction while dramatically improving productivity by eliminating the time translators spend on manual lexicon updates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The keyword extraction and lexicon update process can be performed continuously and automatically during or after translation operations. This continuous automated process maintains lexicon accuracy while significantly improving overall translation productivity by eliminating interruptions and manual workflow steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Device complexity

If existing translation systems use fixed lexicons, then system complexity is reduced, but the adaptability to personalized translation needs deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem simplicityVSAvoidpersonalized translation capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The lexicon transitions from a static fixed structure to a dynamic automatically updating structure. The system maintains simplicity by using automated keyword extraction algorithms, while gaining adaptability through the ability to dynamically update the lexicon based on extracted keywords from specific translation contexts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary keyword extraction and lexicon updates automatically before translation tasks require personalized terminology. This preliminary automated action prepares the lexicon with relevant keywords, maintaining system simplicity while enabling personalized translation capability when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
