Solution Overview

Problem

The existing methods for sharing item information links fail to accurately accumulate rewards in communities where commercial activities are prohibited, as they lack the ability to differentiate between links that provide benefits and those that do not, leading to inaccurate reward tracking.

Innovation Solution

An electronic apparatus and method that allow users to selectively create and share links with attributes that determine whether rewards are provided, by acquiring user requests for link information, selecting attributes related to the link, and providing link information on a page that includes details about the item, enabling accurate reward accumulation based on the link's attributes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users share link information without attribute selection, then sharing simplicity is maintained, but reward accumulation accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelink sharing simplicityVSAvoidreward accumulation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-defining link attributes (reward-providing vs. non-reward-providing) during the link creation phase. Users select the appropriate attribute when creating a link, and this attribute is stored and used later for automatic reward determination. This preliminary classification enables accurate reward tracking without complicating the actual sharing process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If link attributes are made selectable, then reward accumulation accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereward accumulation accuracyVSAvoidlink management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by differentiating link attributes at the individual link level rather than applying a uniform structure to all links. Each link can independently have its attribute selected and stored, allowing the system to maintain simplicity for links that don't require rewards while enabling reward tracking only where needed. This localized approach avoids unnecessary complexity across the entire system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Loss of information

If different text compositions are provided for different link types, then information clarity is improved, but manufacturing precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelink nature clarityVSAvoidtext composition accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes parameters by modifying the text composition of link information based on the selected attribute. When a link is marked as providing rewards, the system automatically includes specific text indicating this feature. When no reward attribute is selected, the text composition differs accordingly. This parameter-based text generation ensures clear communication of link nature without requiring manual precision in text creation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

According to various example embodiment of the present disclosure, a method of sharing item information by an electronic apparatus includes acquiring a request for link information related to at least one item from a user, acquiring first selection information related to an attribute of the link information, and providing link information on a first page including information related to the at least one item based on the request for the link information and the first selection information, in which the link information may include information related to the attribute.
