Solution Overview

Problem

Summarizing and personalizing large sets of complex data related to price and product information poses challenges in selecting and refining information, identifying patterns, and arranging it in a user-friendly manner for a computer user interface.

Innovation Solution

The development of a user interface routine that allows users to select brands, competitors, and product categories, utilizing color coding to differentiate information types and performing processes such as creating user home items, lists, alerts, reports, and recommendations, which are integrated with data analysis to provide insights and personalized dashboards.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If large sets of complex data are collected and analyzed, then the quantity and depth of information increase, but the complexity of selecting, refining, and organizing the information increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantity of dataVSAvoidcomplexity of information processing
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the large complex dataset into multiple dimensions including product information, price information, product attributes, and price attributes. This segmentation allows the system to process and analyze different types of data separately, reducing the overall complexity while maintaining the ability to handle large quantities of information through structured organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive data analysis is performed, then the accuracy of insights improves, but the time required for processing increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of data insightsVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing and organizing data into structured dimensions (product, price, attributes) before actual analysis occurs. This preliminary structuring enables faster retrieval and processing during user queries, maintaining high accuracy while reducing processing time through advance preparation of the data framework.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Loss of information

If detailed information is provided to users, then the completeness of information increases, but the ease of operation decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of informationVSAvoiduser interface usability
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by providing different levels of information detail to different users based on their specific needs and preferences. The system allows users to customize their views and select which dimensions of data they want to see in detail, ensuring that each user receives complete information relevant to their context while maintaining ease of operation through personalized interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
