Test Result Processing System with Data Filtering and Visualization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing test result processing systems are often expensive, difficult to use, and incapable of efficiently filtering and visualizing data from test result files, which are generated by test apparatuses used to evaluate electronic devices and components.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that utilize data filters to identify and generate filtered test results, including visual representations such as graphs, charts, and tables, from test result files, allowing users to easily analyze and process test data by identifying test locations, types of tests, failures, and components, using a processor and memory-based computing device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If existing test result processing systems are used, then test results can be processed, but they are expensive and difficult to use
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a simplified copy or representation of complex test data through visualizations (graphs, charts, tables) that replicate the essential information in an easily accessible format. This allows users to interact with test results through intuitive visual interfaces rather than complex raw data, resolving the contradiction between processing capability and ease of use
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary layer (visual representation system and filtering mechanisms) between the raw test data and the user. This intermediary translates complex test apparatus outputs into comprehensible visual formats, making the system both reliable for processing and easy for users to operate
2Reliability
If comprehensive test data is collected from multiple test apparatuses, then complete test coverage is achieved, but data analysis becomes time-consuming and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and isolates specific test results from the comprehensive dataset through filtering mechanisms. Users can selectively extract only the relevant test data needed for their analysis, rather than manually reviewing all test results from multiple apparatuses, thus maintaining complete test coverage while significantly reducing analysis time
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the large comprehensive test dataset into manageable portions through visual representations and filters. By dividing the data into visual categories (graphs, charts, tables) and allowing selective filtering, the system maintains complete coverage while making analysis faster and less complex
3Loss of information
If detailed test result data is provided, then comprehensive analysis is possible, but the data is difficult to interpret and visualize
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms one-dimensional raw test data into multi-dimensional visual representations (graphs, charts, tables). This dimensional transformation preserves all detailed information while adding visual context that makes the data interpretable, allowing users to detect patterns and relationships that would be hidden in raw numerical data
Data Source
AI summary
Systems and methods for processing test results. A method of analyzing test results includes receiving a set of test result files, the set of test result files including a plurality of test results. The method also includes identifying a set of data filters based on one or more of the set of test result files or user input. The method further includes generating filtered results based on the set of data filters and the set of test result files, the filtered results including one or more of a subset of the plurality of test results or reordered test results. The method further includes providing a visual representation of the filtered results.
