Visual Diagram Reporting with Modifiable Elements
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current software packages for generating reports on bodily organs, such as Cyberpulse™, are complex and require technician assistance, leading to longer report generation times and potential errors due to pre-formed graphic and text elements that may not accurately represent individual patient data.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that allows for the creation of a visual diagram of an entity using a base representation with modifiable elements, enabling accurate depiction of anatomical details without pre-defined templates, and automatically generates a text-based report based on the diagram's attributes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If pre-formed graphic and text elements are used (Cyberpulse™ software), then report generation is faster, but accuracy and customization are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the graphical representation elements modifiable and adaptable rather than static. The system allows dynamic adjustment of anatomical features, enabling the graphical display to be customized for each patient while maintaining efficient report generation. This resolves the contradiction by allowing speed through pre-formed templates while achieving accuracy through real-time modification capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables parameter changes by allowing modification of graphical elements' attributes (such as size, shape, position, and other characteristics) to match the specific anatomical features of each patient. This resolves the contradiction between using pre-formed elements for speed and customizing for accuracy by permitting parameter adjustments without requiring complete redesign.
2Manufacturing precision
If technician assistance is required for report generation, then accuracy may improve, but complexity and time consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling physicians to directly create and modify their own graphical representations without requiring technician assistance. The system provides intuitive tools that allow physicians to independently customize anatomical displays and generate accurate reports, thereby reducing system complexity and eliminating the need for additional personnel while maintaining high accuracy standards.
3Ease of operation
If pre-defined templates are used for graphic representations, then report generation is simpler, but customization for individual patients is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies dynamics by transforming static pre-defined templates into dynamic, modifiable structures. Physicians can start with template-based representations and then customize them for individual patients by adjusting parameters and modifying graphical elements, thereby maintaining operational simplicity while achieving full patient-specific adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables parameter changes to graphical elements, allowing physicians to modify characteristics such as vessel diameter, branch angles, and anatomical positioning to match individual patient anatomy. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining the simplicity of template-based operation while enabling comprehensive customization through parameter adjustment.

AI summary
A computer-implemented method for graphically illustrating an entity and generating a text-based report therefrom includes providing a visual base representation of an entity. The base representation includes a plurality of elements at least one of which is modifiable, where the elements are each associated with a plurality of attributes. A visual diagram of a particular entity is built based upon the base representation of the entity. In this regard, at least one visual element is added to the base representation, where the added visual elements are modifiable. Accordingly, the diagram includes the elements of the base representation and the elements added to the base representation. After determining attributes associated with the added elements, a text-based report is generated from the diagram, where the report is generated based upon the elements of the diagram and the associated attributes, and where the report is automatically generated from the diagram without user input.
