E-gifting System with Receiver-Confirmed Candidate List
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing e-gifting platforms fail to ensure that selected gifts meet the recipient's needs, causing inconvenience for both the giver and the receiver.
Innovation Solution
An e-gifting system and method that uses gift filtering information and receiver information to generate a candidate gift list, allowing the giver to select a suitable gift, and then confirms the selection with the receiver, ensuring the chosen gift meets their preferences, while also handling payment and delivery processes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the giver selects a gift independently without receiver involvement, then the gifting procedure is simplified, but the gift may not meet the receiver's needs
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces an intermediary mechanism where the receiver provides preference information and selects from a candidate list generated by the system. This intermediary process ensures gift suitability while maintaining procedural simplicity through automated candidate generation and structured selection guidance.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by generating a candidate gift list based on receiver information before the final selection. This preliminary filtering reduces the selection scope for the giver while ensuring the final choice meets receiver preferences, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and suitability.
2Reliability
If the giver spends more time selecting a gift, then the gift may better meet receiver needs, but the gifting process becomes more time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The gift selection process is segmented into distinct phases: system-generated candidate list creation, giver review and selection, and receiver confirmation. This segmentation allows efficient automated processing while maintaining quality through structured human input at critical decision points.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback loops where receiver information is collected in advance, used to generate personalized candidate lists, and then validated through receiver selection. This feedback mechanism ensures gift suitability without requiring excessive time from the giver.
3Reliability
If the receiver is given choice in gift selection, then receiver satisfaction increases, but the gifting process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adapts the gifting process based on receiver preferences and giver selections. The candidate list generation and selection workflow adjust automatically according to input data, providing receiver choice while maintaining manageable complexity through adaptive rather than static processes.

AI summary
An e-gifting method is provided. The method is performed by a computer device including a processing unit, and includes: receiving, by the processing unit, gift filtering information and receiver information from a giver terminal device; generating, by the processing unit, a candidate gift list according to the gift filtering information and the receiver information, where the candidate gift list includes a plurality of candidate gift items; generating, by the processing unit, a gifting list from the candidate gift items according to giver selecting information from the giver terminal device, where the gifting list includes a plurality of gifting gift items; confirming, by the processing unit, a selected gift item from the gifting gift items according to receiver selecting information from a receiver terminal device; and transmitting, by the processing unit, payment information corresponding to the selected gift item to the giver terminal device.
