Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inconvenience when inserting images into documents as they need to search and switch between document preparation and web browser windows, making the process cumbersome and difficult to manage image storage locations.
Innovation Solution
A user terminal device with a document preparation program that includes an input part for selecting text, a display part for showing search results, and a communication part for accessing a server to search for images corresponding to the selected text, allowing direct insertion of images into the document preparation window.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users search for images through a web browser and switch between windows to insert images, then image search capability is improved, but operation complexity increases and time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the web browser image search function and the document preparation function into a single integrated window. The browser window displays both the search results and the document preparation area, allowing users to insert images directly without switching between separate windows. This merging of functions resolves the contradiction by maintaining versatile image search capability while eliminating the operational complexity of window switching.
2Adaptability or versatility
If users search for images through a web browser and switch between windows to insert images, then image search capability is improved, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
By integrating the document preparation window within the browser environment, the patent eliminates the time required for window switching and image insertion operations. Users can complete the entire workflow from image search to document insertion in a single unified interface, significantly reducing time consumption while preserving comprehensive image search capabilities.
3Adaptability or versatility
If users manually search for images in storage units or web browsers, then image selection flexibility is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple image sources (local storage units and web browser search results) into a single unified search interface. Users can search for and select images from both local and online sources through one integrated system, maintaining flexible image selection options while dramatically improving ease of operation by eliminating the need to manually navigate between different storage locations and applications.
