Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices often recommend irrelevant information to users at inappropriate times, failing to provide desired information in a timely manner based on user input.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device that includes a processor configured to acquire information from displayed content, arrange items based on priority, and rearrange them based on current time points to ensure timely and relevant recommendations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If information is recommended based on user input, then information acquisition efficiency is improved, but information relevance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation acquisition timeVSAvoidinformation relevance
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-acquires and stores multiple types of information (first information from user input, second information from content, third information from user profile) before the recommendation moment. This preliminary gathering of diverse information sources enables timely recommendation while maintaining relevance through multi-dimensional data preparation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts recommendation parameters by changing priorities of different information types based on current time, user schedule, and situation. The processor re-ranks information sources (first, second, third information) with different priorities according to contextual parameters, ensuring both timeliness and relevance through adaptive parameter modification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Loss of information

If multiple information sources are integrated, then information completeness is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments information into distinct categories (first information from user input, second information from content, third information from user profile) and processes each segment separately with assigned priorities. This segmentation manages complexity by organizing diverse information sources into structured, independently manageable units that are later integrated through priority-based selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Speed

If information priority is adjusted dynamically, then information timeliness is improved, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation delivery speedVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements dynamic priority adjustment where the processor re-ranks information sources based on current time, user schedule, and situational context. The priorities of first, second, and third information types are not fixed but adapt dynamically to changing conditions, enabling timely information delivery while managing processing complexity through structured dynamic re-evaluation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
