Solution Overview

Problem

Existing shopping information services struggle to accurately interpret user intent, often failing to provide relevant results due to text-based searches and lack of user-specific information, such as allergies or preferences, leading to incorrect product recommendations.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device and method that processes user input data to extract target and purpose keywords, using artificial intelligence to modify product identification information based on user-specific details like nationality, age, and preferences, ensuring accurate and personalized shopping lists are generated.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If text-based search is used to find products, then the search process is simple, but the search accuracy and relevance of results deteriorate when user intent is not clearly expressed or when input is not direct product names

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesearch operation simplicityVSAvoidsearch result accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer between user input and product search. The system extracts keywords from user input data (which may be indirect or descriptive) and uses these keywords as mediators to accurately identify and retrieve relevant products, resolving the contradiction between simple input and accurate results

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the search parameters from direct text matching to keyword extraction and transformation. By converting various forms of user input into standardized keywords and using these transformed parameters for search, the system achieves both operational simplicity and search accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If general product search is performed without user information, then the search process is fast and simple, but the relevance to individual user needs deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesearch processing speedVSAvoidproduct recommendation relevance
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary extraction of user information and keyword identification before the actual product search. By preparing user profiles and keyword mappings in advance, the system can quickly retrieve relevant products without sacrificing accuracy, maintaining both speed and reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by tailoring search results to specific user characteristics and needs. Instead of providing uniform results to all users, the system adjusts product recommendations based on individual user information, ensuring high relevance while maintaining efficient processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Quantity of substance

If search results include all matching products, then the completeness of results is high, but the quality and usefulness of results deteriorate due to inclusion of irrelevant items

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of search resultsVSAvoidresult product quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments search results into different categories based on user information and keyword relevance. By dividing the result set into segments according to user preferences and extracting quality indicators, the system can provide comprehensive results while filtering out irrelevant items, maintaining both quantity and quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
