Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in locating specific information on webpages due to unintuitive hyperlink descriptions and the need to navigate through multiple levels, leading to a poor user experience and excessive resource consumption.
Innovation Solution
A graphical user interface is modified to include a primary document content section and a secondary document content section, where users can select objectives and outcomes to receive relevant informational content blocks directly, conserving resources and improving accessibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional hyperlink navigation is used, then users can access information through standard web pages, but users face difficulties in locating specific information due to unintuitive hyperlink descriptions and need to navigate through multiple levels
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the information retrieval process into distinct components: a primary document content section for navigation and a secondary document content section for displaying relevant informational content blocks. This segmentation allows users to locate information more efficiently by presenting multiple objectives and outcomes simultaneously rather than requiring sequential navigation through multiple webpage levels.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-processing and presenting multiple informational content blocks in the secondary document content section before users need to access them. The system identifies and displays relevant information based on user selections of objectives and outcomes, eliminating the need for users to navigate through multiple levels to find the desired information.
2Productivity
If traditional webpage navigation is used, then information is distributed across multiple levels, but this leads to excessive resource consumption on client devices, web servers, and network resources
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple levels of information into a single webpage by integrating the primary document content section with the secondary document content section. Relevant informational content blocks are displayed simultaneously within the same webpage, eliminating the need for users to navigate through multiple levels and thereby reducing resource consumption on client devices, web servers, and network infrastructure.
3Reliability
If multiple levels of navigation are required, then comprehensive information is available, but this creates a poor user experience and excessive resource consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and displays only the relevant informational content blocks in the secondary document content section based on user selections of objectives and outcomes. By taking out and presenting only the necessary information within the same webpage, the system maintains information completeness while eliminating the need for extensive navigation, thereby improving user experience.

AI summary
In some implementations, a client device may provide, in a document object of a user interface, a primary document content section, and a secondary document content section that includes first document content. The client device may receive, via a first input and a second input, user input of a particular combination of an objective and an outcome for the objective. The client device may obtain presentation information that identifies a plurality of informational content blocks responsive to the particular combination. The client device may insert code based on the presentation information into the document object, where the code causes the secondary document content section to change content from the first document content to second document content. The client device may provide the user interface for presentation by the client device based on inserting the code into the document object.
