Solution Overview

Problem

Users face inefficiencies in searching for related commodities due to the need to perform multiple searches and navigate through separate pieces of multimedia content, leading to a lengthy and cumbersome process.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that integrates commodity information with associated multimedia content in a single search result page, dividing the presentation into regions for efficient viewing and interaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If users initiate multiple separate searches to find related commodity information and multimedia content, then they can acquire comprehensive search results, but the overall search path becomes overlong and operation becomes cumbersome

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of search resultsVSAvoidoverall search path length
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges commodity information search and multimedia content search into a single integrated search operation. When a user searches for commodity information, the system simultaneously retrieves and presents related multimedia content (videos, live streams, images) in the same search results page, eliminating the need for separate searches and reducing the overall search path.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-fetching and caching multimedia content related to commodities before users need them. When commodity information is searched, the associated multimedia content is already prepared and immediately presented, reducing waiting time and operational steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of information

If users navigate through separate pieces of multimedia content to understand commodity details, then they can view comprehensive information, but the operation becomes cumbersome and search efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommodity information completenessVSAvoidsearch operation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines commodity information and multimedia content into a unified search result presentation. Both types of content are displayed together in the same interface, allowing users to view comprehensive commodity information without navigating to separate pages or initiating additional searches, thereby simplifying operations while maintaining information completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Productivity

If the search result page integrates both commodity information and multimedia content, then search efficiency improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesearch efficiencyVSAvoidsearch result presentation system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the search result page into distinct functional regions: one region displays commodity information while another region displays multimedia content. This segmentation allows the system to handle multiple types of content through modular, independent modules, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining integrated functionality and high search efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
