SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRESENTATION AND VISUAL NAVIGATION OF NETWORK DATA SETS

摘要

Disclosed herein is a computer implemented method of determining a similarity score of a plurality of data records with a target data record in a data set. The similarity score allows a user to identify secondary data records, or pairs of data records, that disclose similar concepts. Also disclosed herein is a computer implemented method for presentation and visual navigation of a data set including related data records. The presentation of a data set using the disclosed method allows users of to quickly identify data records that are very similar to a data record of interest. The data set may include directly connected or indirectly connected patents.

1. A computer implemented method of determining a similarity score of a plurality of data records with a target data record, the method comprising the steps of:
identifying the target data record from a data record set; identifying data records within the data set having primary and secondary connections with the target record to form a data record map, such records being primary and secondary data records; for at least one of the secondary data records determining an importance value and a relevance value, wherein the importance value is based on interconnections between the secondary data records and other data records in the data map and other data records in the data set, and the relevance value is based on interconnections between the secondary data records and other data records in the data map; and combining the importance value and the relevance value to provide the similarity score, wherein the similarity score allows a user to identify secondary data records that disclose similar concepts.
