Fuzzy Match Search with Pre-Indexed Hidden Content
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current web browser search functionalities are inadequate in finding and displaying all accessible content within a web page, as they fail to account for content that is not fully downloaded, hidden, or obscured, and offer limited capabilities for inexact searches, leading to frustration and inefficiency for users.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a fuzzy match scheme that allows for simultaneous searching within a tab, using a targeted busy indicator, and retrieving additional content to support search, while also enabling the construction of arrays of high-quality and low-quality matches, and dynamically adjusting search results to improve content visibility and relevance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional browser search functionality is used, then the search process is simple, but it fails to find content that is not fully downloaded, hidden, or obscured
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-processing the document content before the user initiates a search. The system pre-identifies and indexes all accessible content including hidden, obscured, or partially downloaded content, creating a searchable database in advance. This allows the search function to reliably find all content without requiring complex real-time analysis during the search operation itself.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary indexing layer between the document content and the search interface. This intermediary system captures and structures content metadata, accessibility status, and location information, enabling the search function to query comprehensive content without directly handling the complexity of hidden or obscured content detection.
2Reliability
If the search system examines all content including hidden and obscured content, then search completeness improves, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs content analysis and accessibility determination in advance, before the search query is executed. By pre-processing and indexing content metadata during document loading or in background operations, the system prepares search-ready data structures that enable fast querying without re-examining hidden or obscured content during the actual search operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the search process into distinct phases: content indexing phase (pre-processing), query processing phase (fast lookup), and result presentation phase. This segmentation allows the system to invest time in comprehensive content analysis during indexing while maintaining fast response times during user-initiated searches by leveraging the pre-prepared indexes.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple search functionalities are integrated, then search capability improves, but ease of operation decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal search interface that handles multiple search types (exact match, fuzzy match, hidden content search, obscured content search) through a single unified entry point. The search bar and associated controls remain simple and familiar to users, while the underlying system automatically adapts to perform different search functionalities based on the query and document state, eliminating the need for users to switch between multiple search tools.

AI summary
A computer-implemented system for engaging automatic attention capture functionality of human neuronal structures by added transitory salient stimuli that draw user attention to parts of displayed documents, which stimulates involuntary neuronal interference with other image processing at no more than user-tolerable levels. After user initiated finding or displaying of document parts, when added visual salience is transitory and as presented, added motions are at the speeds presented, and when otherwise used in contexts presented in the disclosure, even extremely salient motion stimuli that involuntarily engage neuronal motion detection circuitry and thereby involuntarily capture attention in unique ways nevertheless stimulate interference with other visual processing at no more than user tolerable levels. Non-motion transitory visually salient ways of engaging automatic attention capture are also used in some circumstances.
