Solution Overview

Problem

Existing product management applications mix products before and after purchase, causing user confusion due to lack of proper classification display.

Innovation Solution

An electronic apparatus with an input and display system that selectively displays products in different classifications, such as 'recommended', 'favorite', and 'purchased', allowing users to manage products by registering and moving them between these categories with clear visual cues.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If products before purchase and after purchase are mixedly displayed in a comprehensive application, then user convenience is improved, but user confusion occurs due to lack of proper classification

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidproduct state clarity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides products into distinct classification groups (before purchase, after purchase, recommended) and provides separate display areas for each classification. This segmentation allows users to view products in an organized manner according to their purchase status, preventing confusion while maintaining comprehensive management capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a classification dimension to the product display system. Instead of displaying all products in a single flat list, products are organized along a classification dimension (purchase status categories), enabling users to distinguish product states clearly while still accessing comprehensive product information.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple managing functions are implemented by completely individual applications, then functional completeness is achieved, but user convenience deteriorates due to multiple application management

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunctional completenessVSAvoidapplication management convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple product management functions (product registration, classification management, display control) into a single comprehensive application. This merging eliminates the need for users to manage multiple separate applications while maintaining complete functional capabilities for product lifecycle management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal application that handles multiple product management tasks within a single interface. The system provides diverse functions including product registration, classification assignment, and status-based display control, making it a multi-functional tool that replaces several individual applications.

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

AI summary

Because an electronic apparatus includes: an input means; and a display means for, when a first product registered in a first classification is newly registered in a second classification on the basis of an operational instruction via the input means from a user, displaying a first image in which information about the first product is included, and a second image in which information about the first product is added, and for, when a second product registered in the second classification is newly registered in a third classification, displaying the second image in which information about the second product is deleted, and a third image in which information about the second product is added, the electronic apparatus provides a purchase management function of properly displaying a state of each product and making it easy for the user to perform management in accordance with the classifications.
