Unified Search Aggregation for Mobile Data Summarization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of mobile devices face the challenge of accessing and organizing information from multiple separate data services, such as social and professional networks, without a unified search function that includes secured data, often requiring manual searches across different platforms and lacking a comprehensive summary of relevant information.
Innovation Solution
A system that enables users to identify subjects using mobile devices, facilitating searches across multiple data services by integrating identification and aggregation services, allowing for personalized data summarization based on user-defined criteria, and utilizing biometric data for subject recognition, thereby automating the search and summarization process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If users manually search each application separately, then they can access specific secured data, but the process becomes time-consuming and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple separate search operations into a single unified search interface. The search engine aggregates results from multiple applications and data services, allowing users to query secured data across different platforms simultaneously rather than manually searching each application separately, thus reducing time while maintaining data access accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The search engine provides universal access to multiple data services and applications through a single interface. It can query both public and secured data across different platforms, making the search system multi-functional and capable of handling diverse data sources without requiring users to switch between separate search mechanisms
2Quantity of substance
If search engines provide broader searches, then users can access more data, but the data is retrieved in pre-set formats that may not meet user needs
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adapts data presentation formats based on user preferences and query context. Instead of using fixed pre-set formats, the search engine can customize how data is retrieved and displayed according to user-defined criteria, making the data retrieval process flexible and adaptable to different user needs while maintaining comprehensive data access
3Loss of information
If users access secured data from multiple applications, then comprehensive information is available, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The search engine acts as an intermediary layer between users and multiple data services. It provides a unified interface that abstracts the complexity of accessing secured data across different applications, allowing users to query comprehensive information without directly interacting with the underlying complex system architecture of multiple separate applications
Data Source
AI summary
A system comprises a mobile device configured to facilitate communications with a network. The system may further comprise a plurality of various data services, an identification service and an aggregation service. The mobile device identifies a subject and initiates a search for the subject, searching at least one of the data services. The mobile device then provides a summary of the data to the user via the user interface on the mobile device.
