Embodiment
In the explanation, with reference to accompanying drawing, these accompanying drawings have consisted of the part of invention book, and in the accompanying drawings, show the enforcement specific embodiments of the invention in illustrated mode below of the present invention.Should be appreciated that, also can adopt other embodiment, and can in the situation of the scope that does not break away from the preferred embodiment of the present invention, make structural change.
The present invention relates to be convenient to search platform that Search Results is carried out efficiently, reads carefully and thoroughly intuitively and analyze.In addition, described search platform can make the user can dwindle easily the scope of result by references collection, in order to energy is concentrated on more relevant document.
Although set is discussed exemplary embodiment for patent documentation, described search platform also can be applicable to any literature collection.
Fig. 1 represents the embodiment of examplar search platform architecture.In the embodiment shown, client 100 can be passed through network 105 access servers 110.Server 110 can utilize search engine 120 and sorter 150, search engine 120 and sorter 150 can with patent gather 130 and metadata 140 be associated.
Patent set 130 can comprise one or the above database that is used for storage patent documentation (for example, patent and/or patent publications), and described one or above database are associated with one or above national patent department.Metadata 140 can comprise one or the above database that is used for storing the data that are associated with patent documentation.Described data can comprise with set in relevant description information, document vector, classified information, summary or the summary of document, title, claim (claim term) etc.Can organize data in the index (index), described index comprises the record to each document.
Although in the embodiment shown in fig. 1 patent set 230 is shown different databases with metadata 240, but in other embodiments, the data that embody of patent set 230 and metadata 240 can be stored in one or the above database or other suitable storage medium together.
Search engine 120 can be based on any engine in a large amount of commercial search engine.For example, in one embodiment, search engine 120 can be based on the enterprise search platform, for example the Fast enterprise search platform of Microsoft (Fast Enterprise Search Platform).Those of ordinary skill in the art can be based on numerous search techniques search engine of programming.For example, with reference to Fig. 3 the document vector search technique is discussed.
Sorter 150 can be used for analyzing the document in the patent set 130, and extracts and/or create metadata 140.Sorter 150 can be unit or have the part than big unit of other functions independently.Sorter 150 can be resolved document in the patent set 130 by utilizing known analytic technique (parsing technique), and extracts from document or the criterion of identification classification.
Criteria classification (standard classification) is based on the criteria classification system and predetermined classification.The criteria classification system is the taxonomic hierarchies of being accepted by some colonies in this area or tissue at least.The criteria classification system for example can be the taxonomic hierarchies of being set up by government bodies or standard formulation tissue.In the category of patent documentation, two of the criteria classification system are exemplified as International Classification of Patents (IPC) system and US patent class (USPC) system.The classification of extracting/identifying can be stored in the metadata 140.
The document that sorter 150 can be gathered patent in 130 reclassifies in the interpretive classification (interpretive classification).Interpretive classification is based on the classification of interpretive classification system.Interpretive classification system comparable standard taxonomic hierarchies comprises more or less classification.Interpretive classification comprises at least one class and a subclass.The interpretive classification system can be comprised of the level (that is, the rank of class) than the greater or lesser class of criteria classification system and subclass.The quantity of the class of each level in the described level can be different, with provide tool user friendly, level intuitively, in order to make the common searchers can fast processing and understand the detailed catalogue of level.The scope that this kind structure can make the searchers can dwindle fast resulting a large amount of document in search is to concentrate on energy in the document the most relevant with the searchers.Class in the interpretive classification and the title of subclass can be simpler, shorter and/or have more descriptive.Therefore, interpretive classification system comparable standard taxonomic hierarchies has more user friendly.
The interpretive classification system can be designed to character and the characteristic of the electronic search of pertinent literature and their classification and electronical display are utilized.Particularly, graphic user interface provides following various ability: by with for example set element, expansion button and scroll button provide the class level intuitively, user-friendly demonstration.In addition, also can reach fast the extraneous information that easily provides about class or subclass with link, information indicating bubble etc.Discuss in detail such as following institute, because class and jointly show with pertinent literature that the inputted search item identifies relatively, so the interpretive classification system can be helped the searchers in the mode that the criteria classification system is not accomplished.
Sorter 150 can be implemented many different technology that are used for document is reclassified interpretive classification.Sorter 150 can reclassify the document in the patent set 130 based on the criteria classification of document.For example, but the classification in the sorter 150 query criteria taxonomic hierarchieses and the mapping relations between the classification in the interpretive classification system.In an embodiment, sorter 150 can obtain other information relevant with document (for example, title and claim) from metadata 140, reclassifies helping.In another embodiment, sorter 150 can obtain the document vector of document, reclassifies helping.
In an embodiment, sorter 150 can reclassify given document in a plurality of interpretive classifications.When document classification is in a plurality of interpretive classifications, sorter 150 can select to be mapped to the interpretive classification of the criteria classification that extracts, but also can select one or other above classification based on the item in the document vector of document subsequently.As described below, the weight of item can be taken into account.
Fig. 2 represents to carry out the exemplary embodiment of search and display of search results.
Can carry out search (square frame 200).For example, described search can be based on the input of being inputted via the input element of graphic user interface by the user.
Can carry out search by 120 pairs of patent set 130 of search engine.Search engine 120 can be searched for literature collection with numerous ways.Fig. 3 represents that search engine 120 can adopt the embodiment based on the searching method of vector.
Use shown in the embodiment of Fig. 3 based on the searching method of vector the time, when receiving inquiry (square frame 300), search engine 120 can create document vector (square frame 310) for described inquiry.For example, document vector can be the weight list of word and phrase, for example with the example of [desk, 1] [chair, 0.5] [plate, 0.2] as simplification.In case create the inquiry document vector, search engine 120 just can compare (square frame 320) with the inquiry document vector and from patent set 130 document vectors that retrieve, and the document vector that retrieves is pre-created for each patent documentation in the patent set 130.Above-mentioned document vector also can be stored in the metadata 140, for example is stored in the record of the index corresponding with each file in the patent set 230.For example above-mentionedly relatively comprise: with inquiry file vector all multiplied by weight of common with the file vector that retrieves, and with results added to obtain the similarity grade.Lift another and simplify example: inquiry document vector: [desk, 1] [chair, 0.5] [plate, 0.2]; The document vector that retrieves: [cup, 1] [saucer, 0.7] [chair, 0.6] [plate, 0.5]; Similarity=0.5*0.6+0.2*0.5=0.4.If the similarity grade exceeds predetermined threshold, then search engine 120 can be considered as the patent documentation that is associated with the document vector that retrieves coupling.In other embodiments, search engine 120 does not use the searching method based on vector, but can utilize minimum News Search (less dynamic search) method, and the method does not relate to the document vector that creates patent documentation.
In above-mentioned searching method based on vector, each patent documentation that is stored in the patent set 130 can be associated with one or above document vector.For example, because patent documentation (for example, patent and patent publications) usually have the chapters and sections of predetermined quantity to satisfy legal submission requirement, so can create different document vectors for each chapters and sections of patent documentation or the combination of chapters and sections, thereby so that search engine 120 can be adjusted the search to the particular chapter of patent documentation.In addition, can adjust document vector, to remove incoherent word or phrase, to produce less and more succinct document vector, this can improve the efficient of query processing, and this is because search engine 120 is processed the character string that is removed without spended time.
After carrying out inquiry, can identify one or the above document (square frame 200) relevant with input.If think do not have document with the input relevant, then result set can be empty.
Can obtain the criteria classification (square frame 210) of each pertinent literature.As previously mentioned, criteria classification can be IPC classification or USPC classification.For example, can obtain criteria classification by processing in real time document by sorter 150.As another selection, if being classified device 150, processed by document, then can obtain criteria classification by consulting metadata 140.
Each document can be reclassified (square frame 220) in the interpretive classification.As previously mentioned, interpretive classification can be the classification in the interpretive classification system, and can comprise hierarchical structure, described hierarchical structure comprises one-level class (primary class) and secondary class (secondary class) at least, but also can comprise extra subordinate class (subsidiary class).Can after executed search, reclassify in real time, or can be before carrying out search just executed reclassify, so for example, interpretive classification can be stored in the metadata 140, thereby and can carry out access from metadata 140.
In an embodiment, can be in the function that creates or more carry out during the new database square frame 210 and square frame 220.For example, during creation database, sorter 150 can be determined the criteria classification of each document in the patent set 130, and described classification is stored in the metadata 140.Sorter 150 also can be when creation database or other times with document classification in interpretive classification.Also the interpretive classification of each document can be stored in the metadata 140.The establishment of database comprises extra document is added in the database that has created.
Can come according to the interpretive classification of pertinent literature pertinent literature divide into groups (square frame 230).Particularly, each document can be grouped in each class and subclass that comprises document classification.For example, the group of one-level class " computing machine " can be comprised of all documents in the subordinate class that is grouped into this one-level class.Group represents the related or relation of storing between document and the class.The position of document in computer memory can be along with the result who divides into groups changes.Also can store the quantity of the document in each group.In document was reclassified embodiment in a plurality of interpretive classifications, described document can be grouped in the class and subclass of each interpretive classification in the interpretive classification of the document.
Can show pertinent literature and their one-level class (square frame 240).Fig. 4 represents for the exemplary graphical user 400 that shows pertinent literature and class.User interface 400 can comprise inquiry section 410, division 420 and section 430 as a result.
Inquiry section 410 can comprise for the text box 411 that input is inputted and be used for the search button 412 that search is carried out in request.In this example, search word " dish " is input in the text box 411, and carries out search.
Division 420 can show the level of interpretive classification system.Shown class is corresponding to the class of the pertinent literature that identifies by search.In the example of this simplification, suppose that search word " dish " can relate to disc brake or the interior interverbebral disc of body in computer disk, the automobile.Therefore, shown one-level class is " computing machine ", " automobile " and " anatomy " in this example, and all documents in the result set all are classified in the one-level class in these one-level classes.
Can be close to class and list the quantity that is grouped into the document in each class., there are 500 documents to be grouped in " computing machine " herein, have 400 documents to be grouped in " automobile ", and have 300 documents to be grouped in " anatomy ".Can arrange class in the specific rank of level with the order that successively decreases for the quantity that is grouped into the document in the class, be shown at first so that have the class of the document of maximum quantity.Have in the situation of the document that is grouped of equal number being in other two or more classes of same level, can show in alphabetical order these classes.In having the situation of a large amount of classes, scroll button can be set, these classes so that the user can roll.Below will discuss level and check box 421 and 422 of class.
Show the one-level class of pertinent literature in this type of mode, so that the searchers can be easily and the relation of checking rapidly the type of the document in the result set and they and original input (being " dish " in this case).If the searchers is interested in the computer cd, then the searchers can select " computing machine " class as follows, thereby reduces the quantity of pertinent literature.In this kind situation, if each document only has an interpretive classification, then can reduce pertinent literature above half by selecting " computing machine " class.In addition, can further screen pertinent literature by selecting subclass.
Section 430 can show the literature index (reference) of pertinent literature as a result.Literature index can be shown as tabulating 431 and can comprise the related text of document below index, so that the user can further determine the content of document.Can show literature index according to the descending order of the correlativity of being determined by search engine.According to the size of result set, the literature index of additional page can be presented on the continued page by button 432 expressions of section 430 as a result.Can select required page or leaf via button 432.In this embodiment, have by five button indications five pages.
Literature index can be link.Literature index can be linked to the document copy of storing in the patent set 130 of server 110.Literature index also can be linked under the sun the document copy of (for example, the home server of the server of patent department or client 100) storage.In addition, literature index can be linked to the document copy of storing on the local storage of client 100.In this embodiment, can send the copy of document to client with result set.Therefore, when the user checked result set, document can be available immediately.Therefore, usually can eliminate reconnect to server with retrieval needed time and process power consumption during specified document in result set.
As previously mentioned, can select one-level class (square frame 250).The user can select one or above one-level class via division 420.Each listed class all has selection check box (left side) and cancellation selection check box (right side) in the division 420.Selection and cancellation choice box 421 are corresponding to " computing machine " one-level class.When the final election choice box, can show the secondary class (square frame 260) that is grouped into the document in " computing machine " one-level class.In this example, the secondary class comprises " storer ", " processor " and " software ".When the choice box 422 of choosing corresponding to " storer ", can show three grades of classes (reaching " power supply " for " dish " in this example) of the document that is grouped in the secondary class " storer ".
When selecting class, can ad hoc show the document (square frame 260) that is grouped in the selected class.Therefore, renewable as a result section 430 is only to show the document that is grouped in the selected class.Be restricted to document in the selected class by the demonstration with the document in the section as a result, the user can read carefully and thoroughly the document that these more may be correlated with quickly.
When class was selected in cancellation, the document that can cancel being grouped in the class of selecting got rid of to show.Can correspondingly upgrade as a result section 430.Therefore, cancelling the demonstration of selecting only to cancel the document in the kind of selecting to being in exerts an influence.Yet, from the angle of section 430 as a result, can have the effect that other every other class of this grade is selected in cancellation to the selection of class.In an embodiment, upgrade division 420 to show " * " in the check box of automatically being cancelled the class of selecting at each.Certainly, the user can choose subsequently the class that is cancelled selection is selected.
Can be by click selecting or cancellation is selected check box to reverse to select or cancellation is selected.By the check box of the selected class of cancellation selection, renewable division 420 is with the folding current subclass (if present) that is cancelled the class of selection, and renewable as a result section 430 is to show suitable document.For example, in Fig. 4, if the selection check box of " storer " is selected in cancellation, then renewable as a result section 430 is grouped into all documents in " computing machine " class with demonstration.Select institute cancel the check box of the class of selecting by cancellation, renewable as a result section 430 so that its except the document that demonstration has shown, also demonstration be grouped into cancel document in the class of selection.
In an embodiment, can once select to be in other a plurality of classes of same level in the class level.Therefore, for example, the user can select " computing machine " one-level class and " automobile " one-level class both.In this kind situation, division 420 can show the secondary class of each selected one-level class.In addition, section 430 can show the document that is grouped in each selected one-level class as a result.For example, this kind feature is applicable to following situation: the searchers is to applicable to perhaps feature is interested in the teaching of a plurality of technical fields.
When in identical rank, selecting a plurality of classes and/or subclass, " only showing (display-only) " feature can be set.The user can select for certain kinds " only showing ", and renewable as a result section 430 is only to show the document that is grouped in such." only show " feature for example can be graphic user interface input element independently, maybe can be instructed to by mouse or keyboard input some combination with the selection check box of desired class.This kind feature is applicable to following situation: the searchers has selected in the same rank of class level, has especially selected a plurality of classes in the different stage, but whether the document that only is grouped in the certain kinds-subclass chain is checked in expectation rapidly, can the document of height correlation be positioned to check.
Shown level has with respect to the class of front and the subclass of indenting in the division.In an embodiment, can reflect relation between class and the subclass with different colors, font size, size text etc.In addition, check box 421,422 can be replaced to other figures and be used for interface element.For example, only launch class by the action of clicking class with mouse pointer, and therefore with electing.In brief, can revise exemplary user interface shown in Figure 4 with multiple graphical user interface features, and those of ordinary skill in the field will recognize easily that this kind modification is feasible and is within the scope of the present invention.
