Product Collection Sharing with External Preview and Reusable Lists
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for sharing product lists on social or e-commerce platforms are inefficient, as they do not allow for grouping items by theme, require recreating lists for each sharing scenario, prevent external previews, and lack seamless cross-platform sharing, leading to low conversion efficiency and poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for creating and sharing collections of multiple product links, enabling users to organize items into collections, preview them externally, and share them across different platforms using a unique chain key and short URL, with server-side support for seamless integration and real-time data synchronization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If users share individual product links one by one, then each product can be shared independently, but the process is inefficient and requires recreating lists for each sharing scenario
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments product lists into reusable 'collections' that can be independently created, stored, and shared. Users create once and share multiple times across different scenarios, eliminating the need to recreate lists repeatedly. The collection feature divides the sharing process into collection creation and collection sharing stages.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by allowing users to create and organize product collections in advance before sharing. Collections are prepared beforehand with curated product links, enabling users to share pre-organized content rather than assembling lists at the moment of sharing, thus saving time and improving efficiency.
2Productivity
If product lists are shared without external preview capability, then the sharing process is simple, but users cannot verify content before sharing leading to low conversion efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an external preview page as an intermediary between the product collection and the sharing target. This preview page allows users to review collection content, products, and links before sharing, ensuring accuracy and improving conversion efficiency. The preview acts as a buffer that validates content without adding significant system complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If product sharing is limited to single platform, then the implementation is simple, but cross-platform sharing capability is lacking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements universality by designing the collection sharing system to work across multiple platforms (e.g., WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, Facebook). The collection structure and sharing mechanism are platform-agnostic, allowing the same collection to be shared on different social media platforms without requiring separate implementations for each platform.
4Ease of operation
If product links are shared without organization, then sharing is straightforward, but items cannot be grouped by theme reducing user experience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments product links into themed collections organized by categories such as 'Summer Outfits,' 'Christmas Gifts,' or 'Tech Gadgets.' This segmentation allows users to group related products logically, making it easier to share curated content rather than random product links, thereby improving user experience while maintaining manageable complexity.
