Solution Overview

Problem

The challenge lies in efficiently managing and presenting large volumes of big data, which is both structured and unstructured, as existing search services often fail to provide focused information due to the vastness of data, leading to cost-prohibitive and time-consuming data mining processes.

Innovation Solution

A server-based search service that allows users to configure the presentation of data subsets, offering configuration options for selecting data and parameters, generating a preview table with two-dimensionally ranked search results, and enabling interactions such as linking to professional or social networking sites.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If traditional search services are used to review big data, then comprehensive data coverage is achieved, but data mining becomes cost-prohibitive and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata coverageVSAvoiddata mining efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and presents only the most relevant data elements from the big data set in a focused preview table format. By selecting and displaying key columns and rows that directly answer the search query, the system eliminates the need to manually review entire data sets, thereby maintaining comprehensive data coverage while dramatically improving mining efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the large data set into manageable preview tables with controlled dimensions. By dividing the comprehensive data into focused subsets displayed in tabular format with configurable columns and rows, the system allows users to review relevant information efficiently without being overwhelmed by the full scope of big data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Loss of information

If traditional search services are used to review big data, then all available information is retrieved, but the focused subset of information users want to see is not provided

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidinformation focus
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by customizing the preview table to display different data elements based on user needs and search context. The system selectively presents specific columns and rows that are locally optimized for the particular search query, ensuring that the most relevant information is prominently displayed while maintaining access to the complete data set

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Loss of information

If data is presented in traditional formats, then all data elements are visible, but data owners cannot control the presentation manner

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata visibilityVSAvoidpresentation control
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic presentation control where the preview table configuration can be adjusted based on user preferences, search context, and data owner specifications. The system dynamically selects which data elements to display, how to rank them, and what level of detail to show, thereby maintaining complete data visibility while providing versatile presentation control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

An intelligent tabular big data presentation in search environment based on prior human input configuration is provided. In some examples, a server may execute a search service that may receive a request from a party associated with the data to modify a presentation of a subset of the data and may present configuration options to the requesting party. The configuration options may include a selection of the subset of the data and parameters associated with the presentation of the subset of the data. The selected subset of the data may be formatted based on the received selection of the configuration options. A search query associated with the data may be received and may be executed on the subset of the data. A preview table may be generated and provided based on two dimensionally ranked search results of the subset of the data in accordance with the selection of the parameters.
