Solution Overview

Problem

Users face difficulties in rapidly and accurately finding desired information on the web due to the need to manually search through search results, and keywords of interest may be hidden within the display region of electronic devices, making it hard to recognize and access them.

Innovation Solution

A method and device for an electronic device to receive a keyword and search condition, transmit them to a keyword management device for search, and combine the search results with the keyword for easy retrieval and display, allowing users to quickly identify relevant information and move the display to focus on the keyword and related information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If users manually search through search results to identify search parameters, then they can find information, but the process becomes tedious and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation search efficiencyVSAvoidtime spent on manual search
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically analyzing search results and identifying search parameters before the user needs them. The electronic device proactively processes search results to extract and highlight relevant parameters, eliminating the need for users to manually search through results later.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by automatically performing the parameter identification task that would otherwise require user effort. The electronic device itself analyzes and processes search results to highlight relevant information, making the system serve the user's needs without requiring manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Loss of information

If search results are displayed in standard format, then all information is visible, but keywords of interest may be hidden and hard to recognize

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisibility of search informationVSAvoiddifficulty of identifying keywords
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by differentiating the display treatment of different parts of the search results. Keywords and relevant parameters are highlighted with special visual formatting (such as bold text or background coloring), while other information maintains standard display. This makes important information locally distinct and easily identifiable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses color changes or visual formatting changes to highlight keywords and important search parameters within the search results. By changing the visual appearance of specific text elements, the system draws user attention to relevant information without altering the overall information content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

3Loss of information

If users need to access WEB to view search parameters, then complete information is available, but the process becomes complex and requires additional steps

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of search parameter informationVSAvoidease of accessing search parameters
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts the essential search parameter information from the complete search results and presents it in a simplified format within the local application. By taking out only the relevant parameter information and displaying it prominently, the system provides complete parameter information without requiring users to navigate to external WEB resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
