Solution Overview

Problem

Search engines often identify product web pages as duplicates, leading to reduced visibility and relevance, due to similarities in content across different platforms.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for generating content comparison reports that analyze and characterize product pages across multiple websites, calculating similarity scores and providing recommendations to differentiate content, thereby reducing duplicate identifications by search engines.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If product pages use similar content across different platforms, then content quality and consistency are maintained, but search engines identify them as duplicates reducing visibility and relevance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent consistencyVSAvoidduplicate identification by search engines
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by making each product page have uniform content in terms of product information (name, description, specifications) while varying the presentation format, layout structure, and supplementary content locally. This allows consistency in core product data while creating unique page characteristics that prevent duplicate identification by search engines.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters such as content layout structure, presentation format, heading hierarchies, image arrangements, and supplementary information inclusion to create variations across product pages. These parameter changes maintain the core product information consistency while transforming the overall page characteristics to avoid duplicate content penalties.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Object-affected harmful factors

If product pages are made substantially different to avoid duplicate identification, then visibility and relevance are enhanced, but content quality and consistency may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveduplicate identification by search enginesVSAvoidcontent consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments product page content into core product information (which remains consistent across pages) and presentation elements (which vary to avoid duplication). By separating these segments, the system maintains reliability of product data while creating sufficient variation in layout, structure, and supplementary content to prevent duplicate identification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by establishing a template framework that automatically ensures consistent core product information while pre-defining various presentation formats and layout structures. This preliminary setup guarantees both content consistency and sufficient variation before the pages are deployed to different platforms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Object-affected harmful factors

If manual content customization is performed on each product page to ensure uniqueness, then duplicate identification is reduced, but time and resource consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveduplicate identification by search enginesVSAvoidcontent creation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service by providing automated tools that enable users to generate unique product page content without manual customization. The system automatically varies presentation formats, layouts, and supplementary information based on predefined templates, allowing product pages to differentiate themselves from duplicates while eliminating the need for time-consuming manual content creation for each page.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates universal templates that serve multiple functions: they ensure consistent core product information, automatically generate varied presentations across different platforms, and reduce manual intervention. These multi-functional templates streamline content creation while maintaining both uniqueness and efficiency.

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

4Loss of time

If automated content generation is used to create unique product pages, then time efficiency is improved, but control over content quality and accuracy may be reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent creation timeVSAvoidcontent accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms where the automated content generation system uses structured templates and validation rules to ensure accuracy. The templates enforce consistent data formats and required fields, while validation processes check for completeness and accuracy before publication. This feedback loop maintains manufacturing precision in content accuracy while preserving the time efficiency of automated generation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining accurate and validated content templates with proper data structures, required fields, and validation rules. These templates ensure content accuracy is built-in before automated generation occurs, allowing efficient automation without sacrificing manufacturing precision in content quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A system configured to perform content comparison between product web pages, or “product pages”, on one or more web sites through which products (e.g., goods, services, and/or other products) are sold is presented. The system may be configured to generate comparison reports and recommendations based on similarity scores. The similarity scores and/or recommendations may reduce instances in which product pages for the same or related products are identified as duplicates by search. The similarity scores and/or recommendations may enhance the content quality, the visibility, and/or relevance of the product pages by keeping them substantially different.
