Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for verifying the accuracy of data parsed from electronic documents, such as PDF files, are either inefficient due to manual checks or prone to errors in automated processes, especially when dealing with large volumes of data.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus with programmed logic that generates and displays a virtual sticky on a graphical user interface, overlaying summary data from electronic documents, allowing for automatic summarization and verification of data items, thereby enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of data management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual sanity checks are employed to verify parsed data accuracy, then data verification reliability is improved, but processing time and operational complexity increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-verification by automatically generating summary data from the electronic document and comparing it with parsed data without requiring manual intervention. The virtual sticky note displays the generated summary data directly on the document, enabling the system to self-check its own parsing accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical manual verification process with an automated computational system that uses programmed logic to generate summary data and perform comparisons, eliminating the need for human operators to manually check parsed information.
2Productivity
If automated double checking is implemented to verify parsed information, then verification speed is improved, but error detection reliability deteriorates when the identification process fails
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary verification mechanism where summary data generated from the electronic document serves as a reference standard. This intermediary allows comparison between original parsed data and independently generated summary data, providing a more reliable error detection method than simple double scanning.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary generation of summary data from the electronic document before comparing it with parsed information. This preliminary action creates a reference framework that enables more accurate error detection during the verification process.
3Measurement precision
If manual error checking is performed on large volumes of data, then data accuracy is improved, but processing efficiency and productivity decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual error checking mechanics with an automated programmed logic system that generates summary data and performs comparisons electronically, maintaining high data accuracy while dramatically improving processing efficiency for large volumes of data.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-verification automatically without requiring manual intervention, generating summary data and comparing it with parsed information to ensure accuracy while maintaining high processing throughput.
Data Source
AI summary
Digital programmed logic implemented on a computing device programmed to cause the display of an electronic document on a graphical user interface within the computing device. The electronic document displayed includes a plurality of data items of information. The programmed logic is programmed to automatically generate summary data that summarizes at least two data items from the plurality of data items included in the electronic document. The programmed logic is further programmed to generate a virtual sticky and display the virtual sticky on the electronic document. The virtual sticky displays the automatically generated summary data and the display of the virtual sticky is overlaid onto at least a portion of the display of the electronic document.
