Solution Overview

Problem

In network livestreaming, there is a mismatch between products sold in live rooms and audience requirements, leading to low-quality products and reduced transaction conversion rates.

Innovation Solution

A product recommendation method that generates a candidate product library based on interaction data, selects customizable products, configures customizable information, and adds them to the live room, allowing users to customize products for better matching and increased conversion rates.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional product selling methods are used in live rooms, then the operation process is simple, but the matching between products and audience requirements is poor leading to low transaction conversion rates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransaction conversion rateVSAvoidproduct recommendation system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by generating a candidate product library before the live stream, selecting customizable products in advance, and pre-configuring product information. This allows the live room to offer personalized products without complex real-time processing during the broadcast, thereby improving conversion rates while keeping the operational complexity manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service through automated product recommendation based on audience portraits and interaction data. The platform automatically selects and configures products without requiring manual intervention during the live stream, improving transaction conversion rates while the complexity is managed through algorithmic automation rather than human complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If customizable products are selected and configured, then the matching between products and audience needs is improved, but the operation process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduct customization capabilityVSAvoidproduct configuration operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the product configuration process into distinct stages: generating the candidate product library, selecting customizable products, configuring customizable information, and adding to the live room. This segmentation allows each stage to be optimized independently, improving adaptability while making the overall operation more manageable through structured processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary product recommendation system that mediates between the available products and audience requirements. This intermediary layer automatically processes interaction data, generates recommendations, and configures products, thereby improving adaptability while shielding users from the complexity of direct configuration operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If products are selected based on interaction data, then the quality of recommended products is improved, but the data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduct recommendation qualityVSAvoiddata processing system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs data processing and product selection in advance before the live stream begins. By pre-processing interaction data and generating the candidate product library beforehand, the system improves recommendation quality without requiring complex real-time data processing during the broadcast, thus managing the complexity effectively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a simplified representation of the complex data processing logic through pre-computed product recommendations and candidate libraries. This copying approach allows high-quality recommendations to be delivered without exposing the complexity of the underlying data processing systems, maintaining reliability while managing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
