Solution Overview

Problem

Large Language Models (LLMs) face limitations in handling large input sizes due to computational and memory constraints, as well as user interface inefficiencies, hindering their effectiveness in processing complex language tasks.

Innovation Solution

A method that involves segmenting large text inputs into smaller segments to fit within input limits of LLMs, generating summaries for each segment, and combining them to produce a final summary, while using machine learning models to enhance usability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If LLMs process larger input sizes, then the model's capability to handle complex language tasks improves, but computational resources and memory requirements increase excessively

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinput size capabilityVSAvoidcomputational resources
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the large input text into multiple smaller chunks or segments that fit within the model's input token limits. Each segment is processed separately through the LLM, and the results are then aggregated to produce the final output. This allows the model to handle large inputs without requiring proportional increases in computational resources for the entire input at once.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If LLMs process larger input sizes, then the model's capability to handle complex language tasks improves, but memory requirements increase excessively

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinput size capabilityVSAvoidmemory requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the input text into smaller portions that can be processed within the model's memory constraints. By dividing the large input into multiple manageable segments, the system avoids the need to load and process the entire large input simultaneously in memory, thus reducing peak memory requirements while maintaining the ability to handle large inputs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If LLMs process larger input sizes, then the model's capability to handle complex language tasks improves, but user interface handling efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinput size capabilityVSAvoiduser interface handling
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer between the user interface and the LLM. This intermediary system handles the text segmentation, processing coordination, and result aggregation, allowing the user interface to remain simple while enabling the system to handle large inputs efficiently. The intermediary manages the complexity of processing large texts without burdening the user interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
