Decision-making Process Module for Shopping Information Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Consumers face inefficiencies in making purchasing decisions due to sparse and varied information across shopping platforms, leading to longer decision-making times and reduced willingness to buy, especially in impulsive purchases.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a processor and display that generates a customizable decision-making process module by integrating and verifying information from multiple sources, allowing users to arrange decision-making sub-processes and blocks based on personal preferences, and sharing these modules for others' reference.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If consumers obtain information from multiple sources before purchasing, then the reliability of decision-making is improved, but the time required for decision-making increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the decision-making process into multiple independent sub-processes (e.g., price comparison, specification check, review analysis) that can be executed in parallel or selectively. Each sub-process handles a specific aspect of information verification, allowing consumers to efficiently gather comprehensive information without being overwhelmed by the complexity of multiple sources.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary information gathering and verification by automatically accessing multiple sources (shopping platforms, review sites, specification databases) before the consumer makes a final decision. This pre-processing of information from multiple sources reduces the time consumers need to spend on manual research while maintaining decision reliability.
2Measurement precision
If consumers manually sort out information from multiple sources, then the accuracy of information verification is improved, but the productivity of purchasing process decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary system (the decision-making process module) that automatically collects, verifies, and synthesizes information from multiple sources. This intermediary handles the complex task of information sorting and verification, ensuring accuracy while freeing consumers from manual processing, thereby maintaining high purchasing efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces manual mechanical information sorting with automated computational processes. Algorithms automatically crawl, parse, and verify information from multiple sources, substituting human manual effort with automated systems that achieve both high accuracy and efficiency simultaneously.
3Adaptability or versatility
If consumers customize their decision-making process, then the adaptability to personal needs is improved, but the complexity of the system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The decision-making process module is designed to be dynamic and configurable, allowing consumers to adjust the sequence, depth, and focus of different sub-processes according to their personal needs. The system adapts its complexity level based on user preferences, providing simple modes for quick decisions and comprehensive modes for thorough analysis, thus managing system complexity while maintaining high adaptability.

AI summary
An electronic device, a presentation method for a decision-making process module and a non-volatile computer readable medium are provided. The electronic device includes a memory, a processor and a display. The processor generates or obtains a decision-making process module for determining a particular object. The display presents the decision-making process module. The decision-making process module includes a plurality of decision-making sub-processes and a plurality of decision-making blocks. The decision-making sub-processes verify and integrate the information about the particular object received from the source. The decision-making blocks are formed by arranging one or some of a plurality of decision-making sub-processes, and the decision-making process modules are formed by arranging the decision-making blocks. A sequence of the decision-making sub-processes arranged in the decision-making blocks is adjusted or edited by the processor, and a sequence of the decision-making blocks arranged in the decision-making process module is adjusted or edited by the processor.
