Integrated Image Search Interface for Mobile Applications
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile terminal operations for searching picture information are cumbersome and often yield inaccurate results, as users must manually save and search images, relying on color and texture characteristics, which limits user experience and search efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that allow users to select pictures within an application interface to trigger the acquisition and display of relevant search result information, simplifying the process and providing results based on the picture's content rather than just visual characteristics, using gestures like long pressing to initiate searches across local and internet sources.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If users manually save and search images using traditional methods, then search results are obtained, but the operation process is complicated and search efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the image search function with the picture viewing interface by integrating a search bar directly into the display area. When users long press on an image, the system simultaneously displays the search bar and processes the search request, merging the search initiation and execution processes into a single integrated workflow, thereby eliminating the need for separate manual saving and searching operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically initiates the search process when a user long presses on an image. The search bar appears automatically, and the system automatically processes the search request based on the selected image, eliminating the need for users to manually save images or switch between applications to perform searches.
2Measurement precision
If traditional picture search methods are used based on color and texture characteristics, then search results are obtained, but the results may not reflect the content that the user needs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional image search algorithms that rely on color and texture characteristics with text-based search capabilities. By enabling users to input text queries directly in the integrated search bar, the system performs semantic searches that understand the actual content and meaning of images, rather than merely comparing visual features, thereby significantly improving search accuracy and preventing content information loss.
3Ease of operation
If users switch between applications to search for picture information, then search results are obtained, but the operation process requires manual saving and switching between applications
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the search function directly into the picture viewing application interface. The search bar is integrated into the display area, allowing users to perform searches without leaving the current application or manually saving images. This integration eliminates the need to switch between applications and reduces the time required for manual operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system prepares the search environment in advance by displaying the search bar within the picture viewing interface before the user actually needs to search. This preliminary setup ensures that all search functionality is readily available and configured, eliminating the need for users to perform preparatory actions like saving images or opening separate search applications.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to an information display method and device. The method includes: displaying a user interface of an application, where the user interface includes at least one picture; receiving a selection operation triggered on the user interface, where the selection operation is configured to select a target picture from the at least one picture; acquiring search result information corresponding to content of the target picture; and displaying the search result information.
