Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional data visualization methods are used, then implementation is simple, but the ability to provide deep insights and detect anomalies is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinsights detection capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a knowledge graph as an intermediary layer between raw data and visualization. The knowledge graph stores pre-computed relationships, correlations, and contextual information about data elements, allowing the system to quickly retrieve meaningful insights without complex real-time analysis. This mediator enables deep insights while maintaining system manageability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary analysis by pre-computing correlations, relationships, and contextual information between data elements and storing them in the knowledge graph before visualization is needed. This advance preparation allows the visualization system to display deep insights immediately without performing complex calculations at render time, resolving the contradiction between insight depth and system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive data analysis is performed to provide deep insights, then measurement precision improves, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepattern detection accuracyVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The knowledge graph pre-computes and stores correlations, relationships, and contextual information between data elements in advance. When generating visualizations, the system retrieves this pre-analyzed information from the knowledge graph rather than performing comprehensive data analysis at render time, thereby achieving accurate pattern detection without excessive processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies different levels of analysis depth to different data elements based on their importance and the specific visualization context. The knowledge graph stores varying degrees of pre-computed information for different data elements, allowing the system to retrieve only the necessary level of analysis for each element, optimizing both accuracy and performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Loss of information

If more dimensions and correlations are analyzed, then insights quality improves, but computational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontext retentionVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The knowledge graph serves as an intermediary that pre-processes and organizes complex multi-dimensional relationships and correlations. By storing these relationships in a structured format in the knowledge graph, the system can retrieve comprehensive contextual information without performing complex computational operations at visualization time, thus maintaining context while reducing computational burden.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A system and method for providing visual data for user interfaces based on a knowledge graph. A method includes identifying at least one second node with respect to a first node based on connections between nodes of a knowledge graph, wherein the knowledge graph includes the first node and the at least one second node, wherein the first node represents a dimension of interest; selecting at least one third node from among the at least one second node by determining a correlation between the first node and each of the at least one second node; determining a new value for a dimension of each of the at least one third node based on a target value such that the correlation of the third node to the first node is maintained while achieving the target value; and generating visual data for an action item user interface based on the new values.
