1Measurement precision

If manual generation of functional diagrams is used for test script documents, then accuracy and understanding can be maintained through human review, but the process becomes time-consuming and requires significant computational resources

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveaccuracyVSAvoidtime-consuming
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically extracting terms and generating functional diagrams without requiring manual human intervention. The automated term extraction system processes test script documents independently, identifying significant terms and generating diagrams autonomously, thereby eliminating the time-consuming manual generation process while maintaining accuracy through systematic analysis

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Measurement precision

If manual generation of functional diagrams is used, then detailed analysis can be performed, but significant computational resources are required

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the essential and significant terms from test script documents using automated term extraction techniques. By identifying and extracting key terms rather than processing entire documents manually, the system performs detailed analysis on condensed data, reducing computational resource requirements while maintaining the quality of detailed analysis through focused processing of extracted terms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Productivity

If automated term extraction is implemented, then time and computational resources are reduced, but the complexity of the extraction process increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The automated term extraction process is segmented into distinct sequential steps: obtaining test script documents, identifying significant terms using skip n-gram analysis, extracting terms based on predefined criteria, and generating functional diagrams from extracted terms. This segmentation of the complex extraction process into manageable stages reduces overall process complexity while maintaining high productivity through systematic automated processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A device may obtain a document. The device may identify a skip value for the document. The skip value may relate to a quantity of words or a quantity of characters that are to be skipped in an n-gram. The device may determine one or more skip n-grams using the skip value for the document. A skip n-gram, of the one or more skip n-grams, may include a sequence of one or more words or one or more characters with a set of occurrences in the document. The sequence of one or more words or one or more characters may include a skip value quantity of words or characters within the sequence. The device may extract one or more terms from the document based on the one or more skip n-grams. The device may provide information identifying the one or more terms.
