Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems for retrieving patient information from databases require computer language queries, leading to incomplete data retrieval and potential oversight of relevant entries.

Innovation Solution

A system utilizing a large language model to process natural language queries, convert them into computer language queries, map these queries to database entries, and generate a graphical user interface displaying the results, enabling comprehensive data retrieval.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If natural language queries are used instead of computer language queries, then ease of operation is improved, but data retrieval completeness deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoiddata retrieval completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a large language model as an intermediary component that translates natural language queries into computer language queries. This mediator enables users to interact with the database using natural language while ensuring accurate and complete data retrieval through properly structured computer language queries generated by the LLM.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments the query processing into distinct stages: natural language input, LLM-based translation to computer language, atomic element extraction, node mapping to database entries, and final query generation. This segmentation allows each component to specialize in its function, maintaining both ease of use and retrieval completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If natural language queries are converted into computer language queries with atomic elements and nodes, then data retrieval completeness is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata retrieval completenessVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The large language model performs self-service by automatically generating the complex computer language query structure, including atomic elements and node mappings, from the natural language input. This eliminates the need for manual query construction and reduces the perceived complexity for users while maintaining complete data retrieval.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining the relationship between atomic elements, nodes, and database entries. The LLM is pre-trained to understand this mapping structure, allowing it to automatically generate appropriate queries without requiring the user to understand the underlying complexity of atomic elements and node mappings.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If atomic elements and nodes are mapped to database entries, then measurement precision is improved, but difficulty of detecting and measuring increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemeasurement precisionVSAvoiddifficulty of detecting and measuring
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where the LLM generates atomic elements and nodes, which are then mapped to database entries. The mapping results feed back into the query generation process, allowing the system to refine and adjust the query structure based on the actual database schema and available entries, thereby improving precision while managing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
