Solution Overview

Problem

Users face inefficiency in browsing products due to excessive information on detail presentation interfaces, leading to wasted time when a product is not of interest.

Innovation Solution

A product browsing method and apparatus that displays a recommendation user interface with a superimposed presentation pop-up window for product information, allowing users to view details without redirecting to a detailed interface, thereby reducing operations and enhancing efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If users redirect to a detail presentation interface to view product information, then they can access comprehensive product details, but they spend too much time browsing and efficiency is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduct information completenessVSAvoidbrowsing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments product information display into two levels: a preview layer showing key product details in the recommendation interface, and a full detail layer accessible when needed. This segmentation allows users to obtain essential information quickly without navigating to the complete detail interface, thus reducing time loss while preserving information accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a pop-up window dimension that overlays the recommendation interface, creating a new spatial layer for displaying product information. This dimensional change enables comprehensive product details to be viewed within the recommendation interface context, eliminating the need to redirect to separate detail pages and significantly reducing browsing time.

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

2Loss of information

If users redirect to a detail presentation interface to learn more about a product, then they can access comprehensive details, but related operations are increased

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduct detail completenessVSAvoidbrowsing operations
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the product detail display function into the recommendation interface by using pop-up windows. This combination allows users to view comprehensive product information without leaving the recommendation page, eliminating the need for redirect operations and simplifying the user workflow while maintaining information completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The pop-up window serves as an intermediary element that bridges the recommendation interface and detailed product information. It acts as a mediator that provides access to comprehensive product details within the recommendation context, reducing the number of operations required while maintaining ease of use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of information

If a detail presentation interface displays too much information, then comprehensive product details are provided, but user browsing efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduct information completenessVSAvoidproduct browsing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic information display by allowing users to interact with the pop-up window content, such as scrolling through product details or switching between different information sections. This dynamic approach enables comprehensive information to be available on demand while maintaining efficient browsing through controlled, progressive disclosure of content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

By introducing the pop-up window as an overlay dimension, the patent enables comprehensive product information to be displayed without consuming horizontal navigation space. This dimensional change allows full information access while maintaining the recommendation interface layout, thus preserving browsing efficiency while providing complete product details.

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