Solution Overview

Problem

Existing knowledge extraction techniques for stock market information are limited by the need for pre-association of target words with news, failure to associate non-similar issues, restricted grouping ranges, undisclosed utilization and update methods, and reliance on a single information source for certainty factor evaluation.

Innovation Solution

A knowledge extracting apparatus that receives electronic documents, extracts knowledge information using clue words and target words, forms associations, and updates certainty factors based on new information, allowing for dynamic grouping and evaluation of share price fluctuations without pre-defined associations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If knowledge extraction target words are associated with news information in advance, then knowledge information can be extracted efficiently, but the system cannot identify non-similar issues and lacks adaptability to new issues

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveknowledge extraction efficiencyVSAvoidability to identify non-similar issues
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically updates the association between knowledge extraction target words and news information based on share price fluctuations. Instead of static pre-association, the system adapts associations in real-time by monitoring stock market data and automatically linking relevant news to appropriate target words when similarity is detected, thereby maintaining both extraction efficiency and adaptability to new issues.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-updating of knowledge associations by automatically detecting share price fluctuations and autonomously establishing links between news information and knowledge extraction target words without requiring manual intervention. This self-service mechanism enables the system to adapt to new issues while maintaining efficient extraction operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Speed

If issues are set in advance with explicit associations, then the system can quickly retrieve related information, but the range for grouping issues is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation retrieval speedVSAvoidrange for grouping issues
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system transforms static issue associations into dynamic ones by continuously monitoring share price fluctuations and automatically expanding the range of grouped issues. When new issues exhibit similar price movement patterns, the system dynamically incorporates them into existing issue groups, thereby maintaining fast retrieval speeds while expanding adaptability to new and diverse issues.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Loss of information

If keyword extraction is performed based on stored news, then knowledge information can be obtained, but the method and update mechanism are not disclosed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveknowledge information availabilityVSAvoidextraction and update mechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where share price fluctuation data is fed back into the keyword extraction and association process. This feedback loop enables automatic updating of knowledge associations by comparing current market data with historical patterns, ensuring knowledge information remains current while maintaining a manageable extraction mechanism through automated decision rules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

4Measurement precision

If only prediction coefficients are updated based on share price fluctuations, then the system can maintain evaluation accuracy, but other knowledge information remains stale

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation accuracyVSAvoidknowledge information timeliness
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system extends the update mechanism from merely refreshing prediction coefficients to continuously updating all associated knowledge information including news associations, issue groupings, and target word linkages. This continuous update process ensures that all knowledge elements remain timely and accurate, not just the evaluation metrics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
