Embodiment
In the description of a preferred embodiment, the accompanying drawing that the formation instructions is a part of is as reference below, but and the specific embodiment of explanation embodiment of the present invention.Should be appreciated that and under the situation that does not deviate from the preferred embodiments of the present invention scope, can use other embodiment, and carry out structural variation.
The present invention relates to a kind of retrieval platform, this retrieval platform can be convenient to effective intensive reading of result for retrieval and effective modification of search strategy.Thus, this retrieval platform can reach the user fast and consults and analyze result for retrieval effectively.In addition, this retrieval platform also make the user can be when confirming that baseline results is not ideal enough fast and revise search strategy effectively to obtain the result after new or selected.
Though exemplary embodiment has been discussed in the set to patent documentation, the retrieval platform can also be applied to the set of any document.
Fig. 1 representes the embodiment of exemplary retrieval platform architecture.In the embodiment shown, client 100 can be passed through network 105 access servers 110.Server 110 can dispose search engine 120, and search engine 120 can be gathered 130 with patent and be associated with metadata 140.
Although among the embodiment shown in Figure 1 patent set 130 is expressed as different databases with metadata 140; But the data that comprise in patent set 130 and the metadata 140 in other embodiments, can be stored in one or more databases or other suitable storage medium together.
Fig. 2 representes to be used to carry out the exemplary embodiment of many retrievals.
Can show a plurality of input elements (piece 200).For example, can use input element to submit employed input when carrying out the retrieval of patent set 130 to.Input element can comprise various graphic user interfaces (" GUI ") input element, for example text box, drop-down list, button, radio button, check box, slide block, trim button (spinner) and/or dendrogram.In some cases, input element can comprise these combination of elements, and for example the combination of two text boxes is to be used for input range.
Can carry out initial retrieval (piece 210) based on the input of submitting to by an input element.Perhaps, can carry out initial retrieval based on the combination of a plurality of inputs of submitting to by a plurality of input elements.Can form retrieval and inquisition based on this (or these) input.
Can implement various technology and form retrieval and inquisition.For example, in one embodiment, can all inputs be made up to create single retrieval and inquisition character string.This embodiment can comprise: some identifiers are appended to the various inputs in the character string, with kind and/or the relative importance of representing each input.In another embodiment or same embodiment, can deal with some input in the input separately, for example which document the comparison through document vector is finally retrieved in patent set 130 limit.These can not be included in the inquiry document vector through the input of dealing with separately.Therefore, for example, only english literature is retrieved if the user specifies, then this appointment can be used for which file that in patent set 130, finally retrieves is limited.Exist at present much based on well known to a person skilled in the art that input forms and handle the technology of retrieval and inquisition.These technology are also contained in the scope of the present invention.
Can carry out retrieval through 120 pairs of whole patent set 130 of search engine.The mode of search engine 120 retrieving files set can change.Fig. 3 representes the embodiment that search engine 120 adopts based on the vector of search method (search methodology).
Use shown in the embodiment of Fig. 3 based on search method vectorial the time, in case receive inquiry (piece 300), search engine 120 can be inquires about establishment document vector (piece 310).For example, document vector can be the weight list of speech and phrase, for example following simplification example:
[desk, 1] [chair, 0.5] [plate, 0.2]
In case created the inquiry document vector, search engine 120 can compare inquiry document vector and the document vector (piece 320) that obtains from patent set 130, wherein in patent set 130, has created document vector for each patent documentation in advance.Document vector can also be stored in the metadata 140, for example is stored in patent to gather in the corresponding record of index of each document in 130.Above-mentioned comparative example is as comprising: will inquire about document vector and the document vector that obtained between the weight of any common term multiply each other, and with results added to obtain the similarity grade.Adopt another to simplify example:
Inquiry document vector: [desk, 1] [chair, 0.5] [plate, 0.2]
The document vector that is obtained: [cup, 1] [plate, 0.7] [chair, 0.6] [plate, 0.5]
Similarity=0.5*0.6+0.2*0.5=0.4
If the similarity grade surpasses predetermined threshold, search engine 120 can think that the patent documentation that is associated with the document vector that is obtained matees.In other embodiments, do not use vector based on search method, search engine 120 weak dynamically search methods (less dynamic search methodologies) capable of using, weak dynamic search method does not relate to the establishment of the document vector of patent documentation.
In above-mentioned vector, can each patent documentation that be stored in the patent set 130 be associated with one or more document vectors based on search method.For example; Because the chapters and sections that have specified quantity usually such as patent documentations such as patent and patent publications are to satisfy legal submission requirement; So can be each chapters and sections of patent documentation or the different document vector of combination establishment of these chapters and sections, thereby make search engine 120 carry out suitable retrieval to the concrete chapters and sections of patent documentation.In addition, can adjust document vector removing incoherent speech or phrase, thereby obtain less and simpler and clearer document vector, this can improve efficiency of query, and this is because search engine 120 is handled removed character string without spended time.
After carrying out inquiry, identify and import relevant one or more documents, and return the pertinent literature collection.For example can on the display of client 100, show pertinent literature collection (piece 220).If have no file relevant with retrieval and inquisition, then result set can also be sky.
Can submit another input (or combination of a plurality of inputs) to through input element.Can carry out later retrieval (piece 230) based on above-mentioned new input and initial input as retrieval and inquisition.Can discern the pertinent literature collection that makes new advances.Archives and retrieves historical that can this is new be simultaneously displayed on the display of client 100.Retrieves historical can comprise initial input and follow-up input.In one embodiment, can show retrieves historical through input element, these input elements can all be presented on the current page.Input element can be reflected to the input of current active each input element, and can show simultaneously with the pertinent literature collection of current (or nearest).Therefore, the user can see the influence of the combination of input to result for retrieval easily.In this embodiment, retrieves historical can comprise the input of current active, promptly is submitted to search engine 130 all inputs as retrieval recently.In this example, input element will reflect initial input and follow-up input.
In one embodiment, show retrieves historical through input element, can the retrieves historical of the tabulation that comprises the executed retrieval be shown as the combination that is used to illustrate the input of before having been retrieved except showing the retrieves historical or not through input element.Retrieves historical also can be illustrated in the quantity of document that is returned in the result set of each input combination.Retrieves historical can show with input element and current results collection simultaneously.In addition, retrieves historical is configured under following condition: if the user clicks the specific retrieval in the retrieves historical, the input combination can be added in the input element.In one embodiment, can automatically perform retrieval once more, and discern and demonstrate the document result set based on this input.Perhaps, the user can change from the input of previous retrieval and/or increase new input, and clicks index button then to carry out retrieval.
The user can carry out later retrieval through the input of submitting new input, the input of revising current active or removal current active to other input elements to, with the further document result set that influences.After input, modification or removing input, can carry out retrieval immediately.Can only carry out retrieval based on the input of current active.Therefore, in one embodiment,, in retrieval and inquisition, will not comprise this input if removed the input of current active.Yet the input of the current active that does not change can be included in the retrieval and inquisition with new input and/or amended input.
In case import, remove or revised input, can carry out new retrieval immediately.Perhaps, can submit and/or change a plurality of inputs to, and for example only after clicking index button, retrieve.Can also use hybrid mode, for example when only changing some input element, carry out retrieval immediately.
In one embodiment, the modification of retrieval and inquisition can only relate to retrieval is refine to the retrieval of current results in concentrating.For example, the user can determine from the concentrated document with certain specific character of getting rid of of current results.In the case, can realize the refinement of result set at client 100 places, and be free of attachment to server 110 so that search engine 120 is carried out modified retrieval and/or refinement result set.For example, client can be accomplished above-mentioned refinement through using from the metadata that is associated with initial result set of search engine acquisition.
In case carried out each new retrieval, retrieves historical can be upgraded.In one embodiment; If retrieves historical is shown by input element, before carrying out retrieval, can change the retrieves historical on the display along with the user's modification input element; But retrieves historical still can be stored, and makes the user can call previous input when needed.
Fig. 4 representes to be associated with client 100 and/or the exemplary embodiment of the user interface that on client 100, shows.In the embodiment shown, user interface can comprise window 400.
Retrieves historical can show through navigation element.Because the user can easily understand the characteristic of the retrieval and inquisition that obtains in the result set, so navigation element can provide the analysis of result displayed collection on the fruiting area 420.For further promoting this analytic function, the input that in result for retrieval, can also immediately increase, revise and/or remove navigation element in mode with instant reflection.Therefore, can carry out comparing in real time and checking to the correctness of specific search strategy (input combination).In one embodiment, if retrieves historical comprises the tabulation of performed retrieval, then can also in input field 410, show should tabulation.
After carrying out retrieval, can result set be provided to client 100.Can result set be presented in the fruiting area 420 of window 400.
The bibliographic reference of the document that fruiting area 420 can display result be concentrated.The user can show bibliographic reference with 421 the form of tabulating, and bibliographic reference comprises the related text of institute's reference in the document, so that can further confirm the content of document.Can not show that under the situation of all bibliographic references, slide block 423 can be used for the scroll-up/down current page in the visible page part in fruiting area 420.Indicated like button 422, according to the size of result set, other page of bibliographic reference is presented on the subsequent page of fruiting area 420.Can select desired page through button 422.Have five pages in this example, they are indicated by five buttons.
Bibliographic reference can be link.The bibliographic reference book can be linked to the document copy of being stored in the patent set 130 of server 110.Bibliographic reference can also be linked to the document copy that other places, the world (the for example server of the server of Patent Office or client 100 this locality) are stored.
In addition, bibliographic reference can be linked to the document copy of being stored in the local storage of client 100.In this embodiment, can the document copy be sent to client with result set.Therefore, when the user consulted result set, document was available concerning the user.Thereby, can eliminate reconnecting server required time and processing power when obtaining the document of appointment in the result set.
Can in Literature Consult district 430, select bibliographic reference for consulting.What Literature Consult district 430 can provide the document from result set, selected consults view 431.In one embodiment, as default, first concentrated bibliographic reference of selection result makes the document automatically be presented in the Literature Consult district 430 automatically.
The view of consulting that can slide block 432 be used for the selected document of scroll-up/down.In one embodiment, the single page of document is invisible on the whole in Literature Consult district 430, and slide block 432 can be used for the scroll-up/down page.Button can be set in Literature Consult district 430 to navigate with a plurality of pages to multipage face document.In another embodiment, can use the whole document of slide block 432 scroll-up/down.
For the ease of effectively navigating, consult and handle document, a plurality of supplementary features can be set in Literature Consult district 430.For example, print button can be set, print selected document with easy permission user.In addition, email button can be set, save button can be set preserving document, and/or the PDF button can be set being portable document form, thereby can preserve or post file conversion with the mailing document.
In one embodiment, document is selected on independent screen, to consult.For example can in fruiting area or Literature Consult district, carry out above-mentioned selection through the view 431 of consulting of bibliographic reference in the double-click tabulation 421 or double-click document.Independent screen can be the label type screen (tabbed screen) in the window 400.Independent screen also can be the screen in the window different with window 400.Thus, can be in not replacing district 410,420 and 430 under the data conditions acquisition/demonstration document consult view more greatly.Show consulting view and can helping after accessed document, eliminating and return of document in this way.In using the embodiment of network, return usually and need further communicate by letter with previous data presented of request or the server that resends retrieval and inquisition.Return and to spend the more time and need more multiprocessor.
Can be independently of one another and be different in input field 410, fruiting area 420 and Literature Consult district 430.Can each district be shown to the user with the mode that is independent of other districts.In addition, each district can preserve the data of oneself with the mode that is independent of other differentiations.Thus, even receive when operating in another district, the view of consulting in a district also remains unchanged.Therefore, slide block 423 can be used for the whole current page of scroll-up/down fruiting area 420, and the consulting view and still can remain unchanged of interrogation zone 410 and Literature Consult district 430.Equally, can pass through the different pages in button 422 selection result districts 420, and other districts can remain unchanged.This also is applicable to modification and operation in the Literature Consult district 430.
Yet, preferably, the change in the district is reflected in not in the same district.For example, if in fruiting area 420, select different bibliographic references, the indicated document of this reference will preferably be presented at consulting in the view 431 of Literature Consult district 430.Therefore, the previous document that shows is replaced.Similarly, the modification of the retrieval and inquisition in the interrogation zone 410 can be returned different result sets.Preferably, fruiting area 420 will show new result set, and Literature Consult district 430 will show the view of consulting of selected document in the new result set.
As stated, user interface can be automatic search interface, and this automatic search interface provides relevant information and function through single window to the user.Can see and operate input element, result for retrieval and document preview jointly.Therefore, even for example input element (it can show nearest input) or result for retrieval are temporarily fuzzy, need not consult the indicated specific document of result for retrieval yet.In addition, can in result for retrieval, in time reflect the operation of input element.Therefore, the user can more effectively retrieve, particularly when the user does not have clear and definite search strategy and attempting the retrieval input.
In one embodiment, the one or more districts in the user interface can optionally fold, but still maintenance activity in window 400.In this way, non-folding district can have more spaces and shows to the user.For example, the user can fold input field 410 after obtaining satisfied result set, make the user can pay close attention to each document of indicating in result set and the preview result set.For ease of folding these districts, for example, the GUI element that is associated with each district can be set, " inquiry " of " Q " expression input field 410 of the rotation that is for example shown.
In one embodiment, the layout of user interface can be different from layout shown in Figure 4 and mentioned above.For example, the layout in the single screen can change according to the hobby of the further feature in the number of navigation element or various districts, system designer and/or user's hobby widely.In addition, interrogation zone 410, fruiting area 420 and Literature Consult district 430 there is no need to be shown as the district of single screen.For example, these districts may be displayed in individual tags formula screen or the independent window.Perhaps, these districts can exist different layouts and/or number, for example are presented in the district of oneself in retrieves historical.
In one embodiment, the initial screen that appears to the user can not comprise fruiting area 420 and Literature Consult district 430.Therefore, initial screen can comprise interrogation zone 410 simply.
