Product Data Display Standardization and Visualization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing data display methods for products are decentralized and not visually presented, making it difficult for consumers to access and compare product information effectively.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that classify and standardize product data, applying normalization processes to make it comparable and visually displayable, including quantifiable, attributed, and non-attributed parameters, using formulas like standardized normalization, zero-mean normalization, Min-Max normalization, and qualitative normalization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If product information is displayed in scattered locations (specifications, packages, appearance marks), then information can be provided in multiple formats, but consumers cannot easily access and compare all product information centrally
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges scattered product information from multiple sources (specifications, packages, appearance marks) into a single centralized display location on the product itself, allowing consumers to access all information in one place rather than searching multiple locations
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a visual copy of product information in the form of graphical icons that represent different product attributes, displaying these visual representations directly on the product to replace or supplement traditional text-based information sources
2Loss of information
If product information is presented without standardization, then all product characteristics can be displayed, but different dimensional features make comparison difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter transformation by converting diverse product attributes (price, quality, specifications) into a unified visual scale using normalization techniques, allowing all parameters to be represented on a common graphical display for direct comparison
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates equipotential conditions for comparison by standardizing all product information to the same visual representation format, eliminating dimensional differences between various product attributes so they can be compared on equal footing
3Loss of information
If product information is displayed without graphical representation, then detailed text information can be provided, but the information is not visually presented and is harder to understand quickly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses different colors and visual intensities to represent different product attributes and their levels, allowing consumers to quickly grasp information hierarchy and importance through visual cues rather than reading detailed text
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms one-dimensional text information into two-dimensional graphical representations with spatial relationships, enabling consumers to perceive multiple product attributes simultaneously in a visual field rather than processing text linearly
Data Source
AI summary
A method and an apparatus of data display, includes: obtaining a plurality of eigen data of a product, and classifying the obtained plurality of eigen data as classified eigen data; performing different standardization processes on the classified eigen data according to the classifications as processed eigen data; displaying the processed eigen data graphically.
