Dual-Surface Search Result Card for Mobile Information Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current search result presentation on mobile devices requires users to click links to access additional information, limiting resource utilization and user experience by not fully utilizing the search result card's capacity.
Innovation Solution
Implementing search result cards with two surfaces, where the first surface displays initial information and the second surface, accessible by user request or hot region click, provides additional details without web redirection, enhancing resource utilization and user experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If search result information is displayed on a single surface of the search result card, then the search result card structure is simple, but the information capacity and resource utilization are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from a single-surface display to a dual-surface display by adding the second surface (back side) of the search result card. This dimensional expansion allows the card to present information on both the front and back surfaces, effectively doubling the visible information capacity without requiring a complete structural redesign of the card format.
Solution Approach 2:
The search result card is segmented into distinct functional surfaces: the first surface (front) displays primary search results, while the second surface (back) displays additional or related information. This segmentation allows different types of information to be organized on different surfaces, improving overall information capacity while maintaining a simple card-based structure.
2Loss of information
If users click page links to access additional information, then more information can be obtained, but user experience deteriorates due to multiple page jumps and time loss
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the search result display and additional information display into a single integrated search result card structure. Instead of requiring users to switch between separate pages, all relevant information is consolidated on the card itself (both surfaces), allowing users to access additional information by simply turning the card over rather than navigating through multiple page jumps.
Solution Approach 2:
The search result card acts as an intermediary between the search query and the detailed information. By incorporating additional information directly on the card's second surface, the card serves as a self-contained information carrier that eliminates the need for intermediate page transitions, reducing time loss while maintaining information accessibility.
3Productivity
If search result cards use single surface display, then resource utilization is low, but implementing dual surface increases device complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent achieves improved resource utilization by exploiting the second dimension (back surface) of the search result card. This allows the display system to present information on both surfaces of the card, effectively utilizing the available space and improving productivity without requiring complex multi-page navigation systems or additional hardware.

AI summary
A method and an apparatus for providing a search result are provided. The method can include obtaining at least one search result card, in a computer memory, according to an input search term, in which each of the at least one search result card comprises a first surface and a second surface, and a search result is recorded on the first surface and/or the second surface. The first surface of each of the at least one search result card can be displayed on a display. A request to turn a first search result card over can be determined to have been received, in which the first search result card is the search result card firstly selected from the at least one research result card. The first search result card can be visually turned over to display the second surface of the first search result card on the display.
