Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If manual keyword input is required for search requests, then search functionality can be implemented, but search time increases and user experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesearch timeVSAvoidmanual input requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing multimedia content to extract keywords and pre-establishing search result aggregation information before user interaction. When a user accesses content, the keywords and search results are already prepared, allowing immediate search triggering without manual keyword input, thus reducing search time and eliminating manual input requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The search system provides self-service functionality where the system automatically generates and triggers search requests based on extracted keywords from multimedia content. The search identifier embedded in the content enables the system to autonomously initiate searches and return aggregated results without requiring user manual input or intervention, transforming the search process from manual to automated

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Productivity

If automatic search triggering is implemented, then search time is reduced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesearch efficiencyVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the search functionality into distinct modular components: keyword extraction module, search identifier generation module, search result aggregation module, and triggering mechanism. Each component handles a specific task independently, making the overall complex system manageable and maintainable while enabling automated search triggering that improves productivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The search identifier acts as an intermediary element that bridges the multimedia content and the search system. This intermediary carries the extracted keywords and triggers the search process automatically, simplifying the interaction between content consumers and the search system while enabling efficient automated search without requiring direct complex system integration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A search triggering method comprises: acquiring description content in multimedia content; selecting, from candidate keywords corresponding to the description content, a target keyword matching entity words in an entity library; according to a search result under at least one content type corresponding to the target keyword, generating search result aggregation information corresponding to the target keyword; and adding a search identifier to the target keyword in the description content, wherein the search identifier points to the search result aggregation information corresponding to the target keyword. By using the method, after the target keyword is triggered, a direct jump to a corresponding search result page can be realized on the basis of the added search identifier to browse the search result aggregation information, without requiring a manual input operation of a user, such that the operation is simple, and the search time costs are reduced.
