Solution Overview

Problem

Existing search material information systems fail to effectively propose suitable search terms for each page of material, leading to inefficient searching, as the search terms attached to materials do not always reflect user intentions.

Innovation Solution

A search material information storage device that extracts keywords and topic words from material pages, using a combination of hardware and software units to propose suitable search terms by evaluating and scoring terms, keywords, and topic words, allowing for effective storage and retrieval of search terms associated with each page.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If search terms are manually attached to materials, then search functionality is provided, but the search terms do not accurately reflect user intentions and search efficiency is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesearch term accuracyVSAvoidsearch time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically extracts keywords from material content and generates search terms without requiring manual input from users. The keyword extraction unit analyzes material text and autonomously produces search terms that reflect the actual content, enabling the system to serve itself in creating accurate search indices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical processes of attaching search terms with automated computational processes. The keyword extraction unit uses text analysis algorithms to automatically generate search terms from material content, substituting human manual work with computational automation that is both faster and more accurate.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Measurement precision

If multiple processing units are used to extract and evaluate terms, then search term quality is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesearch term evaluation accuracyVSAvoidsystem structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the search term generation process into distinct functional units: a keyword extraction unit that identifies important terms from material content, and a search term candidate extraction unit that generates potential search terms from those keywords. This segmentation allows each unit to specialize in a specific task, improving overall accuracy while maintaining manageable complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The processing units are designed to handle multiple functions within a unified framework. The keyword extraction unit can process different types of material content, and the search term candidate extraction unit can generate various types of search terms using the same underlying mechanisms, reducing complexity through reuse of common processing logic.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
