Solution Overview

Problem

Users face inefficiency and resource wastage when viewing logistics information across multiple e-commerce clients, as they need to switch between different clients to access information, leading to higher resource consumption and lower viewing efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that acquire a logistics waybill identifier from each e-commerce client and aggregate logistics information, displaying it in a preset area provided by the operating system, allowing users to view information without switching interfaces, while ensuring user data security through permission-based acquisition.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If users switch between multiple e-commerce clients to view logistics information, then they can access logistics information from different clients, but terminal resources are wasted and viewing efficiency is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelogistics information viewing efficiencyVSAvoidterminal resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges logistics information from multiple e-commerce clients into a unified display interface provided by the operating system. The system aggregates logistics waybill identifiers and logistics information from different clients (such as Taobao, JD, Pinduoduo) and presents them in a single consolidated view, eliminating the need for users to switch between multiple client applications and reducing terminal resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of operation

If the operating system acquires logistics waybill identifier from e-commerce clients, then logistics information can be aggregated and displayed, but user data security may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelogistics information access convenienceVSAvoiduser data security
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The operating system acts as an intermediary between e-commerce clients and the user. It acquires logistics waybill identifiers from clients through authorized interfaces, aggregates the logistics information, and presents it in a unified display. This intermediary approach allows the system to access necessary logistics data while maintaining user data security through permission-based acquisition mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple e-commerce clients are used for item purchasing, then users have more shopping options, but they need to switch between clients to fetch logistics information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshopping platform diversityVSAvoidtime for switching clients
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The operating system provides a universal logistics information display interface that can handle logistics data from multiple e-commerce clients simultaneously. This multi-functional interface serves as a common access point for logistics information regardless of which e-commerce client was used for purchasing, eliminating the need for users to switch between clients and saving time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
