Progressive Document Display with Cognitive Pattern Recognition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current document search methods are inefficient due to the commonality of words and phrases in different documents, leading to time-consuming searches and inaccurate results, especially when using common keywords.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus and method utilizing cognitive pattern recognition to search and display documents, enabling users to highlight and differentiate search text within a scaled common image format (CIF), allowing for visual distinction and improved recognition of relevant documents based on meta data and visual patterns.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If keyword search is used to find documents, then search functionality is provided, but time consumption increases and accuracy decreases due to common words appearing in multiple documents
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the document display into multiple progressive views: first showing all documents with search text, then progressively filtering to show only relevant pages, and finally highlighting specific occurrences. This segmentation allows users to gradually narrow down results without reviewing every document entirely, reducing time while maintaining accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts and highlights only the relevant portions of documents where search text appears, rather than requiring users to read entire documents. By extracting and visually emphasizing specific occurrences with highlight options, the system enables users to quickly identify relevant information without time-consuming full document reviews.
2Adaptability or versatility
If all versions of documents with keywords are included in search results, then comprehensive search coverage is achieved, but relevance decreases due to similar or identical words across documents
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating the display of search text based on context and relevance. Not all occurrences of search text are treated equally; the system highlights specific occurrences with highlight options enabled, allowing users to distinguish between relevant and irrelevant matches within the comprehensive search results.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic display progression where the search results evolve from showing all documents to showing only relevant pages, and finally to highlighting specific occurrences. This dynamic filtering allows the system to maintain comprehensive coverage initially while progressively improving result relevance based on user interaction and document analysis.
3Loss of time
If progressive display of search results is implemented, then time to find documents is reduced, but display complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display into three progressive stages: (1) displaying all documents with search text, (2) displaying only relevant pages, and (3) highlighting specific occurrences. This segmentation manages complexity by presenting information in manageable increments rather than overwhelming the user with all details at once, reducing perceived system complexity while maintaining time efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-processing documents to identify search text occurrences and prepare highlight options before user interaction. This preliminary organization of data allows the progressive display to proceed smoothly through multiple stages without requiring complex real-time processing, thereby reducing operational complexity while maintaining speed.

AI summary
An apparatus and method including searching a document with search text, wherein each search text is associated with a highlight option; selecting to disable the highlight option of one search text; displaying a progressive relationship of the document, wherein: a first display presenting documents, wherein each of the documents includes all of search text; a second display presenting only pages from the documents, wherein the only pages include one or more search text with its associated highlight option enabled; and a third display presenting one page from the only pages, wherein the one page is selected by a user; and wherein the first, second and third displays present the progressive relationship that the one page presented in the third display stems from the only pages presented in the second display and that the only pages in the second display stem from the documents presented in the first display.
