Solution Overview

Problem

Online shopping malls face limitations in recommending customized products due to restricted access to customer behavior history data across multiple sites, leading to lower accuracy in product recommendations, especially for smaller platforms.

Innovation Solution

A service providing apparatus and method for cross-recommendation between product sales sites, which collects and analyzes behavior log data from multiple sites, calculates category points, matches similarity between sites, and recommends products based on high similarity categories, using collaborative filtering and cosine distance algorithms.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If online shopping malls collect behavior history data only from their own websites, then data collection is simple and straightforward, but the variety and accuracy of product recommendations are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecommendation accuracyVSAvoiddata collection system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges behavior history data from multiple different online shopping mall websites into a unified analysis system. The server collects behavior logs from various sites, integrates them with product category information, and performs unified analysis to generate cross-site product recommendations, thereby overcoming the limitation of single-site data collection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between multiple online shopping mall websites and users. This server acts as a mediator that collects behavior history data from different sites, processes the information, and provides recommendation services, enabling small and medium-sized shopping malls to access recommendation capabilities without building complex individual systems

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If small and medium-sized online shopping malls use only their own limited behavior history data, then data collection is easy, but recommendation accuracy is greatly reduced compared to large-scale shopping malls

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecommendation accuracyVSAvoidbehavior history data volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines behavior history data from multiple online shopping mall websites into a unified dataset for analysis. By merging data from different sites, the system enables small and medium-sized shopping malls to leverage collective behavior patterns from multiple sources, achieving recommendation accuracy comparable to large-scale platforms without requiring massive individual data volumes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal recommendation system that serves multiple online shopping mall websites simultaneously. The server processes behavior history data from various sites and provides recommendation services to all participating platforms, allowing small and medium-sized shopping malls to access the same recommendation capabilities as large-scale platforms through shared infrastructure

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