Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If users execute a web browser to search for information while chatting in messenger, then they can obtain search results, but they cannot share the search results with conversation partners and must switch between applications
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the web browser and messenger into a single integrated window, allowing users to perform web searches and share results without switching applications. The search function is merged with the messenger interface, enabling seamless information sharing during conversations.
Solution Approach 2:
The messenger window is designed to perform multiple functions: chatting, web searching, and result sharing. Users can input search keywords directly in the messenger, view results in the same window, and share them with conversation partners, making the messenger a multi-functional tool.
2Loss of information
If users copy and paste URLs to share search results, then they can provide the address to conversation partners, but the process is cumbersome and requires manual copying
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically captures and shares search result information without requiring manual copying. When a user performs a search, the system automatically provides the search result page information to the conversation partner, eliminating the need for manual URL copying and pasting.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the search keyword input interface is included in the buddy list window, then users can input keywords, but users have to select the buddy list window and the interface is not readily accessible
Solution Approach 1:
The conversation window is enhanced to serve multiple purposes: it displays chat messages, accepts search keywords, and shows search results. This eliminates the need to switch to the buddy list window for searching, as the conversation window itself becomes a multi-functional interface.
4Loss of information
If search results are displayed in the web browser, then users can view the results, but users cannot discuss the results within the messenger context
Solution Approach 1:
The search result display is merged with the messenger conversation window, allowing users to view search results and continue chatting in the same interface. This integration enables seamless discussion of search results within the messenger context without switching to a separate browser window.

AI summary
Disclose is a method and system for sharing search result using messenger. A messenger client generates search request information and receives web page data corresponding to the search request information. A search server receives the search request information from the messenger client and performs a search for one or more keywords included in the search request information to transmit search result page data to the messenger client. When the search result page is transmitted from the search server, a layer coupled to a conversation window is formed to display the search result page and allow users to share the information on web page corresponding to the search results when requested.
