Solution Overview

Problem

Class B buyers in e-commerce face inefficiencies in finding suitable sources of goods due to the lack of integrated data and tools, necessitating frequent switching between platforms, which complicates the product selection process for bulk procurement or customization.

Innovation Solution

A method and system utilizing an AI large model to generate product selection reports based on combined B-end and C-end data, providing pre-defined product selection solutions and detailed reports to streamline the procurement process for Class B buyers, including product categories, statistical data, and recommended products.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If Class B buyers check multiple platforms (C-end e-commerce platform, short video platform) to find popular products and sources of goods, then they can gather more product information and market trends, but the procurement process becomes time-consuming and inefficient due to frequent platform switching

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduct information completenessVSAvoidprocurement time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges data from multiple platforms (C-end e-commerce platform, short video platform, cross-border e-commerce platform) into a unified product selection report. The system integrates popular product data, source of goods information, and market trend data from different platforms into a single comprehensive report, eliminating the need for buyers to switch between platforms while maintaining information completeness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-generates product selection reports by continuously collecting and analyzing data from multiple platforms before buyers need them. The report is prepared in advance with popular product information, source recommendations, and market analysis, so buyers can access ready-made information without spending time on manual research across multiple platforms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If Class B buyers manually search for products and send inquiries across multiple platforms to find suitable sources of goods, then they can find potential suppliers, but the process becomes complex and difficult without integrated tools

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesource of goods selection flexibilityVSAvoidprocurement process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The product selection report serves multiple functions: it identifies popular products, recommends source of goods, provides market analysis, and offers procurement recommendations. This single unified tool replaces multiple separate processes (searching, comparing, analyzing, contacting suppliers), reducing process complexity while maintaining versatility in finding suitable sources

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system acts as an intermediary between buyers and multiple platforms by collecting data from various sources (C-end platform, short video platform, cross-border platform) and presenting it in a unified report. This intermediary processing simplifies the complex multi-platform interaction into a single actionable report that guides buyers to suitable sources

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
