Solution Overview

Problem

In modern document creation processes, particularly in clinical trials, there is a challenge in matching terms across multiple documents created by different users, leading to inefficiencies and additional work to ensure consistency.

Innovation Solution

A keyword data linking system and method that defines keyword areas, extracts and parameterizes keywords into variables, and automatically inputs matching keywords across related documents using a platform.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple users create related documents manually, then document creation flexibility is improved, but term consistency across documents deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedocument creation flexibilityVSAvoidterm consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a keyword management unit as an intermediary system between multiple users and documents. This unit extracts keywords from documents, manages a keyword dictionary, and automatically replaces keywords across documents to ensure consistent terminology while allowing users to create documents freely.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where the keyword management unit monitors and adjusts keyword replacements based on document context. When users create or edit documents, the system automatically extracts keywords, compares them against the keyword dictionary, and applies consistent replacements, providing continuous feedback to maintain term consistency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Manufacturing precision

If manual term matching is performed across documents, then term consistency is improved, but work efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveterm consistencyVSAvoidwork efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The keyword management unit performs self-service by automatically extracting keywords from documents, managing the keyword dictionary, and applying replacements without requiring manual intervention. The system autonomously ensures term consistency across all documents, freeing users from manual term matching tasks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical process of manual term matching and correction with an automated computational system. The keyword management unit uses algorithms to extract keywords, compare them against the dictionary, and automatically replace terms across documents, eliminating the need for manual verification and correction works.

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

3Manufacturing precision

If keywords are manually extracted and mapped, then term consistency is improved, but operation complexity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveterm consistencyVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The keyword management unit performs self-service by automatically extracting keywords from documents, managing the keyword dictionary, and applying replacements without requiring manual intervention. The system autonomously ensures term consistency across all documents, freeing users from manual term matching tasks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a keyword management unit as an intermediary system between multiple users and documents. This unit extracts keywords from documents, manages a keyword dictionary, and automatically replaces keywords across documents to ensure consistent terminology while allowing users to create documents freely.

AI summary

Provided is a keyword data linking system and a method thereof, and a keyword data linking method according to an embodiment includes the steps of: defining at least one keyword area in a first document, by a platform; extracting, when a first user terminal inputs data into a first keyword area of the first document, the data as a keyword, by the platform; generating a keyword rule, by the platform; parameterizing the keyword into a variable, by the platform; and inputting, when the first user terminal inputs a variable name into a second keyword area of the first document, a keyword stored to be mapped to the variable name into the second keyword area, by the platform.
