Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for constructing knowledge graphs require manual editing or reuse of object types with varying degrees of external dependencies, making it labor-intensive and inefficient to mine and summarize data models from diverse sources.

Innovation Solution

A method that automatically determines and summarizes object types from knowledge entries in a Subject-Predicate-Object (SPO) form, using a preset rule to generate a data model that matches the semantics of the knowledge entry, thereby reducing labor costs and eliminating external dependencies.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If manual editing or reuse of object types is used to construct knowledge graphs, then the construction process can be completed with existing methods, but it requires labor-intensive operations and has external dependencies

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of constructing knowledge graphVSAvoidconstruction efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically determines object types by analyzing knowledge entries itself, without requiring manual editing or external tools. The automatic determination unit processes knowledge entries to identify object types, relationships, and entities, making the system self-sufficient and eliminating dependency on external resources while maintaining ease of construction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical manual editing process with an automated computational system. The automatic determination unit uses algorithmic processing to analyze knowledge entries and determine object types, substituting human labor with automated mechanical processing that operates continuously without fatigue or interruption

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If manual editing is used to determine object types, then external dependencies can be reduced, but it increases labor costs and reduces efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindependence from external dependenciesVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automatic determination of object types using内置 (built-in) analysis capabilities, making it self-sufficient without requiring external tools or manual intervention. The automatic determination unit processes knowledge entries independently, achieving both independence from external dependencies and elimination of time-consuming manual operations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The automated system operates continuously to determine object types, maintaining uninterrupted processing of knowledge entries. This continuous automated operation eliminates the intermittent nature of manual work and achieves both independence from external dependencies and significant reduction in time consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Quantity of substance

If data models are constructed from diverse sources, then the knowledge graph becomes more comprehensive, but it becomes more difficult to mine and summarize schemas

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomprehensiveness of knowledge graphVSAvoidcomplexity of mining and summarizing schemas
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal automatic determination unit that handles multiple functions: identifying entities, determining relationships, and classifying object types. This multi-functional system processes diverse knowledge entries from various sources through a unified approach, achieving comprehensiveness while managing complexity through functional integration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of object type classification by automatically determining appropriate types based on knowledge entry analysis. This parameter transformation converts unstructured diverse data into structured classified information, enabling comprehensive knowledge graph construction from multiple sources while simplifying the summarization process through automated parameter assignment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
