Skeleton Map Keyword Positioning via Eye Direction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing skeleton maps lack predictability in word display locations, requiring users to visually search for specific words, which increases the time to grasp the analysis results due to the absence of a meaningful relationship between word meaning and display position.
Innovation Solution
A computer-readable recording medium stores a program that identifies components and character strings from document information, determines eye direction, and assigns location information to keywords based on component locations, optimizing display spacing and direction to enhance predictability and visibility in the skeleton map.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If traditional skeleton map display is used, then the analysis results can be shown, but the users need to visually search for specific words which increases time consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dimensionality change by transitioning from a two-dimensional flat text display to a three-dimensional spatial arrangement where keywords are positioned according to their semantic relationships. The skeleton map displays words in 3D space with positions determined by vector calculations representing semantic distances, allowing users to intuitively locate related keywords through spatial perception rather than linear scanning.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-calculating and storing the spatial positions of all keywords based on their semantic relationships before display. The vector calculations and position assignments are done in advance, creating a structured spatial map that enables rapid keyword location without requiring users to search through unstructured text during analysis.
2Loss of information
If keywords are displayed without spatial arrangement, then all information is visible, but there is no meaningful relationship between word meaning and display position reducing predictability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different spatial positions to different keywords based on their specific semantic characteristics. Each keyword's position is determined by its unique vector relationships with other keywords, creating locally optimized placements that reflect their specific meanings and relationships rather than using a uniform display approach.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes parameters by transforming semantic relationships into spatial coordinates. The vector magnitudes and directions representing semantic strengths are converted into specific x, y, z coordinates, creating a predictable spatial arrangement where position parameters directly correspond to semantic parameters.
3Ease of operation
If semantic relationships are visualized in 3D space, then keyword relationships become intuitive, but the display system becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces mechanical complexity with computational processing. Instead of using complex mechanical or manual systems to arrange keywords, the system uses automated vector calculations and computer-based spatial positioning algorithms to determine keyword positions, simplifying the physical display mechanism while maintaining semantic accuracy.

AI summary
A computer-readable recording medium storing an information display program for causing a computer to execute a process, the process includes: identifying a first component related to a first character string extracted, referring to a first storage unit that stores a plurality of components constituting the article and character strings that individually represent the plurality of components; obtaining first location information related to the first component from a second storage unit that stores pieces of location information corresponding to the plurality of components in the article; determining an eye direction when a shape of the article is displayed; determining second location information of the first component in the shape of the article related to the eye direction, based on the first location information and the eye direction; and displaying the first character string based on the second location information.
