Solution Overview

Problem

The existing book search process is inefficient as users need to repeatedly input search content and filter through search results, leading to a labor-intensive and time-consuming process due to the lack of personalized recommendations for book categories and information.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that generate a book aggregation card displaying recommended book categories and corresponding information based on user input, allowing users to view multiple related categories and information in a single search action, reducing the need for repeated searches and filtering.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If users repeatedly input search content and filter search results to find required books, then comprehensive book search coverage is achieved, but search time and user effort increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesearch efficiencyVSAvoidsearch time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by proactively obtaining and preparing multiple recommended book categories and their corresponding book information in advance, before the user needs to repeatedly search. The search engine anticipates user needs by pre-fetching data across multiple book categories, so when search results are displayed, comprehensive book information is already available without requiring additional user search actions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If users perform multiple repeated search operations to find required book results, then search completeness is improved, but the search process becomes elaborate and complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesearch completenessVSAvoidsearch process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges multiple search operations into a single unified search action. Instead of requiring users to perform separate searches for different book categories, the search engine combines multiple book category searches and integrates their results into a single comprehensive search result display, reducing the number of separate search operations needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The search system achieves multi-functionality by enabling a single search input to simultaneously query and retrieve information across multiple book categories. The search engine is designed to handle diverse book category queries universally, returning comprehensive results that cover various book types without requiring users to switch between different search modes or categories.

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

3Measurement precision

If users manually filter and judge search results to find required books, then accurate book selection is achieved, but user effort and search cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebook selection accuracyVSAvoiduser effort
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service by automatically organizing and presenting book information in a structured, easy-to-navigate format. The search results are automatically filtered, categorized, and displayed with relevant book details, allowing users to find required books with minimal manual filtering effort. The system serves itself by pre-organizing data rather than requiring users to manually sort through unstructured results.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

The present disclosure relates to a book search method, apparatus, device and storage medium. In the method, target search content is received. A plurality of recommended book categories associated with the target search content and book information corresponding to respective recommended book categories are obtained. A book aggregation card is generated based on the respective recommended book categories and the book information, and the book aggregation card is displayed on a search result page. According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the user can directly view, on the search result page, the plurality of recommended book categories associated with the target search content and the book information under each recommended book category. Therefore, the user search cost is reduced, the book search flow is simplified, and the book search efficiency is improved.
