Solution Overview

Problem

Customization systems for products with multiple components struggle to effectively display and manage variations based on user preferences and purchase history, leading to inefficient selection processes for users.

Innovation Solution

A display control method that utilizes a processor to control a customization screen by acquiring action history and purchase record data, updating the display order of components to prioritize variations based on selection frequency and user preferences, thereby optimizing the selection process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If customization screens display all components and variations in a fixed order, then the system structure remains simple, but users experience difficulty in efficiently finding preferred options

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of component selectionVSAvoidcomplexity of display control system
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic reordering of component display based on user behavior data. The display order is not fixed but changes dynamically according to action history and purchase records, allowing the system to adapt to individual user preferences while maintaining a simple interface structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system collects feedback from user interactions (action history and purchase records) and uses this feedback to automatically adjust the display order of components. This creates a closed-loop system where user behavior informs future display arrangements, improving ease of selection without requiring complex manual configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If the system prioritizes displaying frequently selected variations, then user selection efficiency improves, but the risk of displaying out-of-stock components increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustomization processing efficiencyVSAvoidavailability of displayed components
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-checking stock availability and pre-ordering components based on predicted user selections. By analyzing action history and purchase records, the system proactively prepares frequently selected variations, ensuring they are available when users need them while maintaining efficient display ordering.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

In a display control method in an information processing device including a processor, the processor controls a customization screen for performing customization processing of a target, the target including a plurality of components, each of the components having a plurality of variations, to be displayed on a display, acquires information relating to customization of the components or the variations in the target by the customization processing performed by a user as an action history or a purchase record, and controls a display order of the components in the customization screen for customizing the target to be changed based on the acquired action history or purchase record and the components to be displayed on the display.
