Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face challenges in efficiently comparing search results on eCommerce websites due to the time-consuming nature of viewing multiple items with varying attributes, which hinders the selection process.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that receive a search query, perform a search, select at least two search results, sort them by attribute ranking based on the search query context, and facilitate their display for comparison, utilizing natural language processing and attribute-based sorting.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If users view each item in search results individually to compare attributes, then comparison accuracy is improved, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the comparison task by displaying multiple search results simultaneously on a single page with their attributes presented in a structured format. Users can view and compare multiple items at once rather than navigating through each item individually, thus maintaining comparison accuracy while reducing time consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a new dimension to the search results display by presenting items in a multi-column layout with attributes organized vertically. This dimensional change allows users to compare multiple items across different attributes simultaneously, achieving both accurate comparison and time efficiency.
2Loss of information
If multiple attributes are displayed for each search result, then information completeness is improved, but display complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by organizing attributes in a consistent vertical structure for each item, where each attribute has a uniform presentation format. This localized organization makes the display systematic and manageable, allowing complete attribute information to be presented without overwhelming complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal display template that handles multiple attributes and items in a unified manner. The same structural pattern is applied across all search results, making the complex information presentation consistent and easier to process visually.
