Content-Specific Database Query Segmentation for Mobile Interfaces
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current electronic communication systems are inefficient in providing users with relevant information, as they require users to sift through numerous websites, often formatted for general purposes rather than optimized for query resolution, especially on cellular devices with limited interfaces.
Innovation Solution
A method of controlling access to content-specific databases through an electronic communication network, where a content service provider compiles databases by category, processes user queries, and generates menus of relevant matches, optimizing information retrieval and presentation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If users search through mainstream Internet websites using search engines, then they can access a broad range of information, but the process becomes time-consuming and inefficient due to the need to review multiple websites and navigate through non-optimized content layouts
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the vast Internet information space into multiple specialized databases, each dedicated to a specific category or topic. This segmentation allows users to search within targeted databases rather than sifting through all Internet content, significantly improving information retrieval efficiency and reducing time loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary system that acts as a mediator between users and the vast Internet information space. This intermediary compiles and maintains specialized databases, organizing information in a manner optimized for query resolution, thereby eliminating the need for users to directly navigate through numerous non-optimized websites.
2Ease of operation
If websites are organized by sponsors to convey their intended information, then the sponsor's message is effectively communicated, but the website layout and organization are not optimized to resolve user queries efficiently
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by creating databases with specialized organizational structures tailored to specific subject matters. Each database is organized with the quality and characteristics appropriate for its specific domain, enabling efficient query resolution within that local context rather than using a generic website layout for all content.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic adaptation by organizing database content specifically to match user query patterns and needs. The information structure dynamically adapts to serve query resolution efficiency rather than maintaining static sponsor-driven layouts, allowing the system to respond flexibly to diverse user information needs.
3Adaptability or versatility
If web-based searching is conducted on cellular telephones, then users can access information on mobile devices, but the limited viewing area, small font, and compact interface make navigation and information comprehension particularly difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments search results into focused, category-specific databases that present information in a condensed and organized manner suitable for mobile displays. This segmentation allows comprehensive information to be delivered through the limited viewing area of cellular telephones without requiring extensive scrolling through unorganized website content.

AI summary
An electronic communication system is controlled by a content service provider to return relevant information from a content specific database in response to a user query. The content service provider compiles a plurality of content specific databases, each dedicated to a category of information of interest to the user. The user registers a user profile with the content service provider. A query, including the selected content specific database, is transmitted from the user to the content service provider. The selected content specific database is searched for the first level query within context of the user profile. A menu of matches is generated from the content specific database for the first level query. The menu is organized by relevance scores assigned to the matches based on correspondence to the first level query. The menu is transmitted from the content service provider through the electronic communication network to the user.
