Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for recommending network object information to users are limited by inaccurate or outdated user registration data and reliance on IP address location, which fail to accurately predict user interests over time.

Innovation Solution

A system that analyzes user network behavior frequencies to identify and recommend information based on specific network objects, using a database to store and categorize user interactions with products, keywords, and categories, and applying weights to network behaviors to determine user interest levels.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If user registration data and IP address are used to determine commodity information, then the system can provide recommendations based on available data, but the accuracy of recommendations deteriorates over time as user interests change

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecommendation accuracyVSAvoidvalidity period of user profile
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The system transitions from static user profiles based on registration data to dynamic profiles that continuously update based on real-time network behavior. The server monitors user interactions with commodity information and adjusts recommendations accordingly, allowing the system to adapt to changing user interests without requiring manual profile updates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by monitoring user network behaviors such as viewing, searching, and interacting with commodity information. This feedback loop allows the system to learn from user actions and refine recommendations, ensuring that recommendations remain accurate even as user interests evolve over time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Quantity of substance

If user registration information is collected and stored, then the system has data to work with, but the data becomes false or incomplete and fails to reflect current user interests

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveamount of user dataVSAvoidaccuracy of user interest representation
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables users to implicitly update their own profiles through their natural network behaviors. Instead of relying on explicit user input or manual profile updates, the system automatically captures user interests through observations of how users interact with commodity information online, making the profile updates self-service and continuous.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces the mechanical approach of collecting and storing static registration data with an automated monitoring system that captures dynamic network behaviors. This substitution allows the system to continuously update user profiles based on actual usage patterns rather than relying on outdated registration information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Productivity

If geographical location based on IP address is used to determine commodity interest, then the system can make quick determinations, but the location data does not clearly define the scope of commodities of interest

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespeed of recommendation generationVSAvoidprecision of commodity interest identification
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges multiple data sources including geographical location from IP address with actual network behavior data. This combination allows the system to maintain the speed of location-based recommendations while adding the precision of behavior-based analysis, creating a hybrid approach that leverages the strengths of both methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system adds another dimension to recommendation generation by incorporating network behavior analysis alongside traditional geographical location data. This dimensional expansion allows the system to consider both where users are located and what they are actually interested in, providing more precise recommendations without sacrificing speed.

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