Solution Overview

Problem

Users face inefficiencies in searching for information on the internet due to the inability to detect search intentions while typing keywords, leading to multiple clicks to find desired information.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that detect user search intentions by sending a search request based on typed keywords, obtaining associated words and summaries, and displaying them in a list, eliminating the need for users to click on individual results.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If users type keywords and click search results multiple times to find expected information, then search completeness is improved, but search time and user effort increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesearch completenessVSAvoidsearch time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by detecting user search intention during the typing process and proactively displaying associated words and result summaries before the user completes typing or clicks search. This allows users to see relevant information earlier and potentially find expected information without completing the full search sequence.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring the typing process, detecting search intention through the typed keywords, and providing real-time feedback by displaying associated words and result summaries. This feedback loop allows users to adjust their search or find information without further interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Ease of operation

If the system displays only associated words without result summaries, then interface simplicity is maintained, but information sufficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterface simplicityVSAvoidinformation sufficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges associated words with their corresponding result summaries into a unified display structure. Each associated word is paired with its summary in the same interface element, allowing users to see both the keyword suggestion and the relevant information content together without adding separate interface components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system adds a new dimension to the search interface by displaying result summaries alongside associated words. This creates a multi-layered information presentation where users can access both keyword suggestions and content previews simultaneously, transforming the traditional single-dimensional keyword list into a rich information display.

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

AI summary

A method and system for searching key words are provided. The method includes: acquire key words typed in the search box, and based on the key words, a search request is sent; associated words which are found based on the search request as well as a summary of the results relevant to the associated words are sent back; the associated words and the summary of the results relevant to the associated words are displayed respectively in the list corresponding to the search box stated previously.
