Solution Overview

Problem

Existing search technologies produce a large number of search results, requiring users to check multiple results and repeat searches, leading to reduced efficiency and longer search times.

Innovation Solution

A searching method and apparatus that utilizes a generative model to generate multimedia search results, determining a display target page based on attribute characteristics, allowing for intelligent, high-quality results displayed in optimized pages, and incorporating recommended search terms to enhance user experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If traditional search methods are used to retrieve search results, then the quantity of search results increases, but the search efficiency decreases and users need to check multiple results

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantity of search resultsVSAvoidsearch efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and presents only the most relevant search result information that directly answers the user's query. Instead of displaying all search results, the system identifies and extracts key answering content, presenting it prominently to users, thereby maintaining answer completeness while reducing the need to check multiple results.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary analysis and processing of search results before presentation. It pre-identifies and structures the most relevant information that answers the user's question, organizing it in an optimized format before the user even views the results, thus eliminating the need for users to manually review multiple results.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of information

If multiple search results are displayed to ensure answer completeness, then the information completeness improves, but the time cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidtime cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different presentation qualities to different parts of search results. Critical answering information is presented with high prominence and detail, while less important information is condensed or omitted. This local differentiation ensures answer completeness for essential information while reducing overall presentation time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary filtering and prioritization of search result information before presentation. It pre-identifies which information elements are essential for answering the user's question and structures them accordingly, so users receive complete answers without needing to review unnecessary information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Device complexity

If traditional search results are presented without optimization, then the system complexity remains low, but the user experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments search results into distinct functional components: direct answers, supporting information, and additional context. Each segment is presented with appropriate formatting and hierarchy, making it easier for users to quickly locate and comprehend the information they need without overwhelming them with unstructured data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system adds dimensional organization to search results by structuring information hierarchically (primary answers, secondary support, tertiary context) and spatially (prominent display areas, supplementary sections). This multi-dimensional organization enhances user experience by making information more accessible and easier to navigate.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
