Solution Overview

Problem

Storing and processing large text-based datasets, such as call transcripts, poses challenges due to computational overhead, inefficient file management, and the need for real-time data processing, especially in time-sensitive contexts like earnings calls, which can lead to delays and inaccurate decision-making.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a computer-implemented method involving segmentation of text data, using machine learning systems to identify sentiment and topics, and providing a user interface for rapid retrieval and display of relevant data segments, utilizing lightweight machine learning systems that require less computing power.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional file systems and processing algorithms are used on large text datasets, then data storage and basic processing can be performed, but processing speed and computational efficiency deteriorate significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing speedVSAvoiddata volume
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments large text datasets into smaller, manageable chunks and processes them in batches. This allows the system to handle large volumes of data without overwhelming computational resources, improving processing speed while maintaining the ability to analyze extensive datasets.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary processing steps such as tokenization, embedding generation, and indexing before actual analysis. This pre-processing prepares the data in advance, enabling faster retrieval and analysis operations when needed, thus improving productivity without requiring proportional increases in computational power.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive NLP processing is applied to all text data, then analysis accuracy improves, but computational resources and processing time increase substantially

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis accuracyVSAvoidcomputational resources
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different levels of processing quality to different parts of the data based on their importance and characteristics. Critical segments receive comprehensive NLP analysis while less important segments receive simplified processing, maintaining analysis accuracy for key insights while reducing overall computational resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs partial processing on the majority of data and comprehensive processing only when necessary. By using embeddings and indexing, the system can quickly identify which segments require deep analysis, applying comprehensive NLP processing selectively rather than uniformly, thus reducing total computational resources while maintaining accuracy where needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Loss of time

If real-time processing is implemented for time-sensitive data like earnings calls, then decision-making speed improves, but system complexity and computational load increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedecision-making timeVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-processes and indexes text data in advance, generating embeddings and organizing data structures before actual analysis is needed. This preliminary preparation enables rapid retrieval and processing of time-sensitive data like earnings calls, reducing decision-making time without requiring complex real-time processing systems during actual analysis events.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates simplified representations (embeddings) of text data that capture essential meanings in a compressed format. These copying representations can be quickly processed and compared without requiring complex analysis of the original text, enabling real-time decision-making while reducing system complexity by working with simpler data structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
