Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional search engines require users to convert web page content into keywords and iteratively search for related content, which is time-consuming and inefficient.

Innovation Solution

The system uses link-based searches, where a server receives a hyperlink from a user and determines if it exists in a database. If it does, the server provides related content; if not, it analyzes the content to generate search parameters and provides search results.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If users convert web page content into keywords and perform iterative searches, then search results can be obtained, but the process becomes time-consuming and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesearch accuracyVSAvoidsearch time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-processes web page content to extract entities, relationships, and concepts, storing them in a knowledge graph before search is needed. This preliminary structuring of information allows the system to immediately retrieve related content when a URL is provided, eliminating the need for users to iteratively convert content to keywords and perform multiple searches.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a URL-based search interface as an intermediary between the user and the search system. Instead of requiring users to directly convert content to keywords, the URL serves as a mediator that the system automatically processes to extract meaningful search parameters, thereby simplifying the user's task while maintaining search accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If users manually synthesize information and reduce it to keywords, then search queries can be formulated, but the process becomes complex and skill-dependent

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesearch simplicityVSAvoiduser skill requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs the information synthesis and keyword extraction tasks automatically without requiring user intervention. When a user provides a URL, the system self-services by automatically accessing the web page, extracting relevant content, converting it to search parameters, and executing the search, thereby eliminating the need for users to manually synthesize information or possess specialized search skills.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The URL acts as an intermediary that the system automatically processes. Instead of requiring users to manually reduce content to keywords, the system uses the URL as a starting point and automatically performs the complex tasks of content access, analysis, and parameter extraction, thereby simplifying the user interface while handling the complexity internally.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If conventional keyword-based search is used, then search functionality is provided, but the ability to find related content is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent retrieval capabilityVSAvoidrelated content completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from traditional keyword-based search to URL-based search, adding a new dimension to the search interface. This dimensional change allows the system to leverage the structured information inherently present in URLs and their corresponding web pages, enabling more effective discovery of related content through entity extraction, relationship analysis, and concept identification that goes beyond simple keyword matching.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-processes web pages to extract entities, relationships, and concepts, building a knowledge graph that captures the semantic structure of content. This preliminary action enables the system to understand and retrieve related content more effectively by leveraging pre-extracted semantic information rather than relying solely on keyword matching, thereby improving adaptability and reducing information loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Described herein are techniques and systems for retrieval of content using link-based searches. Embodiments herein include receiving, by a server, a request including a hyperlink directed to a source content. The server may determine whether a database associated with the server comprises the hyperlink. The database stores information of multiple entities each corresponding to one or more hyperlinks. In response to a determination that the database includes the hyperlink, the server may identify an entity corresponding to the hyperlink and provide information of the entity to the computing device. In some embodiments, in response to a determination that the database does not include the hyperlink, the server may identify related web content and return results to user.
