Dynamic Hyperlink Generation for People Search Automation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The proliferation of people search websites requires users to input varying personal information fields, making it inefficient to access multiple websites for data retrieval.
Innovation Solution
A system generates custom hyperlinks by concatenating user-provided data fields into URL templates, creating dynamic links for multiple websites, and displays them for user selection, with a confidence scoring mechanism to filter relevant results.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If users manually input varying personal information fields for each website, then data retrieval can be performed, but the process becomes time-consuming and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-configures URL templates with placeholder fields that correspond to different website requirements. When a user selects a website, the system automatically substitutes the placeholder fields with the user's stored personal information, eliminating the need for manual data entry for each website.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary system that acts as a bridge between the user and multiple websites. This system manages the URL template substitution process and automatically generates customized links, serving as a mediator that handles the complexity of different data field requirements across websites.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the system stores and processes multiple URL templates with different data field requirements, then adaptability to various websites is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the URL generation process into distinct components: storing URL templates separately, maintaining user information in a database, and implementing a substitution mechanism that matches templates to user data. This segmentation allows the system to handle multiple websites without creating a monolithic complex structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal URL generation system that can handle multiple websites through a single template-based framework. The same substitution mechanism works across different websites, just requiring different template definitions, thereby achieving multi-functionality without proportional increase in complexity.
3Ease of operation
If the system generates custom hyperlinks for predefined search queries, then ease of operation is improved, but the system requires sophisticated URL template management
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically managing the URL template substitution process without requiring user intervention. Once the user provides their personal information and selects a website, the system independently handles template matching, field substitution, and link generation, presenting a simple interface while masking the underlying complexity.
Data Source
AI summary
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media for creating custom system generated hyperlinks for predefined search queries at an external website. The system stores, in a data storage device, a set of custom URL templates, the custom URL templates defining required data fields to concatenate as parameters for a website link. The system obtains user information about a user where the information includes at least a first name and last name of the user. The system retrieves from the data storage device the set of custom URL templates. The system generates multiple website links based on the retrieved custom URL templates, where the generated website link includes a domain name of a website, and concatenated fields that are parameter specific to the website. The system then displays, via a user interface, a representation of the generated website links for selection by a user.
