Solution Overview

Problem

Users face inefficiencies and poor user experience when browsing and comparing electronic component models in PDF files on component e-commerce platforms, as they need to manually record information and return to specific webpages, which is cumbersome and time-consuming, especially when accessing offline.

Innovation Solution

The method involves adding preset hyperlinks to PDF files on a web server, allowing users to jump to corresponding webpages and saving component model information into their personal accounts, enhancing navigation and data collection efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If users manually record component model information while browsing PDF files, then information can be captured, but user efficiency deteriorates and operation complexity increases due to the need to switch between PDF files and webpages

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomponent model informationVSAvoidinformation recording operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by automatically adding hyperlinks to component models in PDF files before users download them. When users click on a component model in the PDF, the system has already prepared the hyperlink structure, enabling direct navigation to the component detail page without requiring users to manually record information or search for the component again.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The hyperlink acts as an intermediary between the PDF file and the web page. Instead of requiring users to manually bridge the gap between offline PDF viewing and online component pages, the hyperlink mediator enables automatic navigation, reducing operational complexity while ensuring information capture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If users manually navigate back to webpages to collect component information, then complete information can be obtained, but time consumption increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomponent attribute informationVSAvoidtime for returning to webpage and collecting information
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-configuring hyperlinks in the PDF file that directly point to component detail pages. This preparation is done before the user downloads or views the PDF, so when the user clicks on a component model, the navigation path is already established, eliminating the time-consuming manual search and navigation process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The information collection process is segmented into automatic steps: the hyperlink carries component identification information, the system automatically retrieves the component page, and the user simply needs to click to collect. This segmentation reduces the time loss by automating the intermediate navigation and information retrieval steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Quantity of substance

If PDF files contain multiple component models, then comprehensive component data is provided, but user efficiency deteriorates due to the need to browse through multiple models to find desired components

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomponent model dataVSAvoidcomponent selection efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

Each component model within the PDF file is segmented with its own unique hyperlink. Instead of treating the PDF as a single undifferentiated document, the system divides it into individual component units, each with clickable navigation. This allows users to quickly jump to specific components of interest without manually browsing through all models in the file.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The hyperlink serves as an intermediary that connects each component model in the PDF to its corresponding detail page. This mediator enables direct access to specific components, transforming the browsing process from linear sequential viewing to random access navigation, thereby significantly improving component selection efficiency while maintaining comprehensive data availability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A method for collecting a component model in a component e-commerce platform includes: S1: adding preset hyperlinks to component models in a PDF file of the web server; S2: downloading the PDF file from the web server, clicking one preset hyperlink in the downloaded PDF file to jump to a corresponding webpage, and displaying collection information when the web server identifies a link type; and S3: if a collect instruction is received, converting information of the component models included in the preset hyperlinks, and saving the component model information obtained by the conversion into a user personal account. This method allows the user to quickly return from off-line use of the PDF file back to a webpage on which a component model is present, and displays collection information to allow the user to timely collect component information thus improving the user experience of use.
