Autonomous Post-Facto Search Results for Quality-Gated Information
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Search engines often fail to provide high-quality search results when the information sought is not yet available or not indexed, requiring users to repeatedly submit queries to obtain the desired information.
Innovation Solution
The system determines that no resources satisfy quality criteria in response to an initial query and provides content based on a subsequently available resource that meets the criteria, without requiring the user to resubmit the query.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the search engine waits for information to become available in databases, then the quality of search results is improved, but the time to provide results to the user worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by proactively monitoring databases for information that will satisfy user queries before the users actually need the information. When relevant information is found in databases, the system pre-generates search results and pushes them to users before the users would naturally re-query, thus resolving the contradiction between waiting for quality information and providing timely results.
2Reliability
If users repeatedly submit queries to obtain desired information, then the likelihood of obtaining high-quality results is improved, but the computational resource usage worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically monitoring databases and proactively pushing search results to users without requiring users to repeatedly submit queries. The system autonomously detects when information satisfying user interests becomes available and delivers it, eliminating the need for users to continuously re-query and reducing overall computational resource consumption.
3Speed
If the search engine provides any available search results, then the speed of response is improved, but the quality of information worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies preliminary action by pre-evaluating and pre-processing potential search results against quality criteria before they are presented to users. By monitoring databases and identifying high-quality information in advance, the system ensures that only results meeting quality standards are pushed to users, thus maintaining both speed and information quality simultaneously.

AI summary
Methods, apparatus, and computer readable media related to determining that no resources responsive to a query of a user at a first time satisfy one or more criteria (e.g., one or more quality criteria) and, in response to such a determination: providing for presentation to the user at a later time, content that is based on a given resource that is responsive to the query at the later time and that satisfies the criteria. The given resource that is responsive to the query at the later time may be a resource that is in addition to any resources responsive to the query at the first time or may be a refined version of a resource that was responsive to the query at the first time.
