Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic book display systems cannot visually present product information, evaluation information, and purchase information in the same display area, requiring manual link setup and complex operations, limiting user experience.
Innovation Solution
An electronic book display system that automatically searches and associates product information with evaluation and purchase information, displaying them together on the same screen through a terminal and computer network, using a search module to extract relevant data from embedded text and image information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If evaluation information and purchase information are displayed in the same display area as the electronic book, then information integration and user experience are improved, but device complexity and information processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the electronic book display area with evaluation information and purchase information into a single integrated display interface. The product information extracted from the electronic book is combined with externally retrieved evaluation and purchase data, allowing all information to be displayed together without requiring users to switch between different screens or applications.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary information processing system that extracts product information from the electronic book content and automatically retrieves related evaluation and purchase information from external sources. This intermediary layer handles the complexity of information integration, data extraction, and automatic association, reducing the burden on the display device while achieving seamless information integration.
2Measurement precision
If manual link setup is required for each product, then information accuracy can be controlled, but time consumption and operational complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements an automatic information retrieval system that self-services by extracting product information directly from the electronic book content and automatically searching for and retrieving corresponding evaluation and purchase information from external databases. This eliminates the need for manual link setup while maintaining information accuracy through automated matching and verification processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary information extraction and association automatically in the background before the user needs the information. The system pre-processed product information from the electronic book and pre-retrieves related evaluation and purchase data, so that when users view the electronic book, all relevant information is already prepared and integrated, eliminating time-consuming manual operations.
3Extent of automation
If product information is extracted from embedded text, then automation level increases, but information extraction complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical information extraction processes with automated computational text analysis systems. Optical character recognition (OCR) and natural language processing algorithms automatically extract product information from embedded text in the electronic book, replacing what would otherwise require manual copying and pasting. This substitution increases automation while managing processing complexity through efficient algorithms.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates digital copies of product information extracted from the electronic book text and uses these copies to automatically search for and retrieve related evaluation and purchase information. By working with copied and structured data rather than original complex formats, the system simplifies processing while maintaining high automation levels throughout the information retrieval process.
Data Source
AI summary
There is provided an electronic book display system, an electronic book display method, and a program in which an electronic book, evaluation information of a product and purchase information necessary for purchasing the product can be visually recognized in the same display area, and a computer automatically associates product information with its evaluation information and purchase information. An electronic book display system includes a display module 141 that displays an electronic book on which product information is described, and a search module 121 that searches for evaluation information associated with the product information or purchase information for purchasing a product corresponding to the product information. The display module 141 displays at least one of the searched evaluation information and purchase information in association with the product information.
