Solution Overview

Problem

Current search engines fail to provide effective services for users inputting search terms with 3D picture browsing requirements, as they do not offer structured 3D search results or services like printing and purchasing directly from the search results.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that receive a search term, identify 3D search requirements, acquire and display 3D search results including pictures and corresponding service items, and process the 3D pictures based on user-selected services such as printing or purchasing, utilizing real-time generation or pre-established 3D model libraries.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If common searching manner and displaying way are used for 3D search terms, then the search system remains simple and universal, but the search results are displayed spontaneously one by one and cannot provide 3D-based services

Engineering Contradiction:
Improve3D service capabilityVSAvoidsearch result structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The search result is segmented into multiple components: 3D picture display area, service item list, and interaction elements. This segmentation allows the system to present 3D content with associated services in an organized manner, resolving the contradiction between providing versatile 3D services and maintaining manageable system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The search result structure is designed to be universal by incorporating multiple service items (printing, purchasing, browsing) that can apply to any 3D picture. This multi-functionality approach enables the system to handle various 3D-related services through a unified interface, improving adaptability without proportionally increasing complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If spontaneous search results are displayed one by one, then the display method remains simple, but user experience for 3D browsing requirements is not satisfied

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoidservice information
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The search result merges the 3D picture display with multiple service items into a single integrated result card. This combination ensures that users see both the visual content and available services together, preventing loss of service information while enhancing ease of operation through unified presentation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system transitions from traditional linear text-based search results to a multi-dimensional layout that combines visual 3D picture display with vertical service item lists. This dimensional change enriches the information presentation, allowing users to access both visual and service information simultaneously without information loss

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Adaptability or versatility

If structured 3D search results with service items are provided, then user experience and service capability are improved, but the search result structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice integrationVSAvoidresult structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The search result structure applies local quality by providing detailed service information specifically for 3D search results, while maintaining a standardized overall format. Each 3D result card has customized elements (picture display, service items) appropriate to its function, while the general structure remains consistent across different search results, balancing service integration with structural manageability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A computer-implemented method for searching information and an electronic device are disclosed. The method includes: receiving, at one or more computing devices, a search term; acquiring, at the one or more computing devices, a 3D search result corresponding to the search term if the search term includes a 3D search requirement, in which the 3D search result includes a 3D picture and one or more service items corresponding to the 3D picture; displaying, at the one or more computing devices, the 3D search result; determining, at the one or more computing devices, a service item selected by a user; and processing, at the one or more computing devices, the 3D picture according to the service item. The method can provide a service on the basis of the 3D search result when the user has the 3D search requirement, thereby better satisfying the user' requirement and improving the user experience.
