Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current search engines face challenges in accurately characterizing digital assets stored in databases, leading to human error and inefficiencies in updating records with nuanced color characteristics, which affects the relevance of search results and resource consumption.
Innovation Solution
The system determines dominant and secondary dominant colors, along with their shades, for digital assets to create accurate record characterizations, enabling more precise search queries and results, and includes a recommendation engine to suggest complementary items based on selected shades and patterns.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If traditional search engines use basic color characterization, then the system complexity is low, but the measurement precision of color characteristics is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments color characterization into multiple hierarchical levels: dominant color identification, secondary dominant color identification, and shade determination. This segmentation allows the system to achieve comprehensive color characterization by breaking down the complex task into manageable components, thereby improving measurement precision without overwhelming system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces additional color parameters beyond basic dominant color, including secondary dominant colors and specific shade information. By changing and expanding the color parameters from a single dominant color to multiple parameters (dominant color + secondary colors + shades), the system achieves more precise color characterization while maintaining structured data organization.
2Productivity
If automated color analysis is implemented, then productivity is improved, but use of energy increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-defining a structured color characterization framework with dominant colors and associated shades before actual search operations. This preliminary structuring of color data allows for more efficient querying and reduces computational resources needed during runtime, as the system doesn't need to perform complex color analysis during each search operation.
3Adaptability or versatility
If limited search parameters are provided, then ease of operation is high, but adaptability is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal color search framework that can accommodate multiple search scenarios: users can search by dominant color alone, by dominant color and shade, or by multiple dominant colors. This multi-functional color search system allows the same interface structure to serve different levels of search specificity, thereby improving adaptability without proportionally increasing interface complexity.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for implementing a nuanced-color search and recommendation system. Employing various techniques described herein, an improved search engine for categorizable items is provided to generate accurate color-based search results and recommendations that are relevant to a nuanced color provided as a search parameter. In various implementations, digital assets that depict categorizable items can be analyzed to characterize the depicted items with, among other things, a particular shade of a determined dominant color. In this way, categorizable items can be searched based at least in part on a selected shade of a particular dominant color to generate a primary search result. In further embodiments, other categorizable items can be generated as recommendations based on characteristics of the primary search result. That is, other items not necessarily subject of the search, can be provided as recommended items if predefined rules dictate that such items may complement the categorizable items included in the primary search result.
