Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If users communicate by sending screenshots and commodity links, then communication can be established, but the information exchange is not intuitive and real-time collaboration is hindered
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a screen sharing mechanism as an intermediary that allows users to share their browser window displaying the commodity page. This mediator enables both parties to view the same commodity information simultaneously, eliminating the need to manually send screenshots and links, thus improving information exchange effectiveness while maintaining simple operation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple communication functions (screen sharing, real-time chat, and commodity information synchronization) into a unified collaborative shopping interface. By merging these functions, the system provides intuitive real-time collaboration without requiring users to switch between multiple tools, thereby improving information exchange while avoiding complexity
2Adaptability or versatility
If real-time communication connection is established between users, then collaborative shopping experience is enhanced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs a collaborative shopping system that serves multiple functions through a unified platform: establishing real-time communication connections, sharing commodity information, enabling screen sharing, and facilitating group purchasing decisions. This multi-functional approach enhances collaborative shopping capability while avoiding the need for separate specialized tools, thus managing system complexity

AI summary
The present invention provides an information exchange method, a user end, and a system for online collaborative shopping. The method includes: sending a collaborative shopping request message that includes one or more user identifiers to a collaborative server; receiving a collaborative shopping startup message; submitting a shopping web page of the main control user to the collaborative server, and submitting, to the collaborative server, operation information generated when a user of the main control user end operates a shopping web page; and receiving operation information generated when a user on the collaborative user end operates a shopping web page according to a commodity feature concerned by the user on the shopping web page, and displaying, on the shopping web page, an operation result of the user on the collaborative user end for the shopping web page.
