Generate report

Multi page report is generated with multiple report items that are i) itemized and ii) selected by the user from a pool of report items. The items are single items such as "company" (e.g., Apple), "keyword" (e.g., flexible display), "technology classification", "patent classification", "researchers", etc., and composite items that combine two single items (e.g., Apple's flexible display).

#1 PAGE Generate reports.

On almost every analysis result page in GoldenCompass, there is a "Download Report" button. Clicking this button will generate a report in the form of an MS Word file.

Generation of 1-page report

On any analysis results page in GoldenCompass, clicking the "Download Report" button in the top right corner of the analysis table will generate a report.

Generating a report based on the final results page

The 1 page report is generated as a MS Word file based on the analysis result page. Since the analysis result page is the basis, the report reflects the final result after filtering, sorting, selected items, etc. have been applied. Of course, if you click "Download Report" when a specific analysis result page is opened, the report is generated based on the first original analysis result page.

Example of the final results page

As an example, with filters and item selections applied, clicking the "Download Report" button will generate a report that reflects the final results page.

Example of 1 page report generated based on the final result screen

This is an example of a report that reflects the contents of the final result page. Looking at the example report, you can see that filters and item selections have been applied.

If you click "Shortcut" in the upper right corner under the report title, the Final analysis result page with filters applied will be reproduced (not snapshot).

The companies in the analysis table of the report have links to their respective tables. "Clicking on "Apple" takes you to Apple's "augmented reality" page.

•

(Note) If you want to reproduce the results of selecting items when clicking "Shortcut", you can generate a report by clicking "New window" after applying filtering/sorting/selecting items, and clicking "Download Report" button on the new page.

Generate multi page report

Generate multi page report from Item home

Multi page reports are generated from the Dashboard mid-menu page of the item home menu. (Since it is a multi-page report, it is naturally not generated from individual analysis results pages.)

Items can be single items such as "company" (e.g., Apple), "keywords" (e.g., augmented reality), "technology classification", "patent classification", "researchers", and composite items that combine two single items (e.g., Apple's augmented reality).

Below is the item home page which generates a multi page report for the keyword "augmented reality".

Below is the item home page for the company "Apple", which generates a multi page report for "Apple".

Report mode

There are over 100 to 2,000 analysis pages provided by GoldenCompass for a specific company, technology field, or keyword. These analysis pages can be grouped into special purposes/uses/utilizations. The report mode corresponds to the special purpose/use/utilization. Example purposes/uses/utilizations include i) technology sensing, ii) in-depth analysis of competitors/companies, iii) strategic behavior, iv) planning new products/features/utilization fields, etc.

Report modes in GoldenCompass have upper and lower modes. The report mode scheme below is an example of an upper mode. The upper mode has n lower modes. Below the lower modes is the report item pool, which is composed of a MAX 4 DEPTH classification scheme. A MULTI PAGE report is generated by selecting multiple report items from the report item POOL.

The report modes have some commonalities across items, but also some differences. For example, a specific mode ("In-depth analysis of competitors/companies" mode) is true for companies (e.g., "Apple"), but not for keywords (e.g., "flexible display"). On the other hand, a specific mode (e.g., "technology sensing" mode) is true for both company and keyword items.

Report modes are for single items, such as "company (e.g., Apple)," "keyword (e.g., augmented reality)," "technology classification," "patent classification," "researchers," etc., and for composite items, which are a combination of two single items (e.g., Apple's augmented reality).
