Solution Overview

Problem

Responses to search queries are typically provided in a style that does not align with the query, resulting in a less engaging user experience.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that parse the query to identify its subject and retrieve user experience parameters from an electronic database, formatting the response to match the query's style, including text, animation, and audio relevant to the subject.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If query responses are provided in a fixed standard style, then the system implementation is simple, but the user engagement is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically changes formatting parameters (fonts, colors, layouts, animations) based on the identified subject of the query. Different subjects trigger different stylistic parameters, transforming the fixed-style response system into a flexible, subject-adaptive system that enhances user engagement without requiring complete system redesign

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-establishes a database of subject-associated formatting styles and templates. When a query is received, the system quickly matches the query subject with pre-defined styles from the database, avoiding the need to generate styles in real-time and thus maintaining system efficiency while improving user engagement through personalized formatting

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If query responses are customized based on query subject, then user engagement is enhanced, but the processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidresponse processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Formatting styles and templates are pre-associated with subjects in a database before query processing. When a query arrives, the system performs a quick subject match and retrieves the corresponding pre-prepared style, eliminating the need for time-consuming style generation during response processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses template copying where pre-defined formatting templates associated with each subject are replicated and applied to the query response. This copying mechanism is much faster than generating unique formats from scratch, thus reducing processing time while maintaining customized styling

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Ease of operation

If additional formatting elements are added to responses, then user engagement improves, but the data complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoiddata complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

Different parts of the response are formatted with different styles based on their relationship to the query subject. Titles, headings, and body text receive appropriate stylistic treatment locally, rather than applying uniform formatting to the entire response. This allows enhanced user engagement through varied formatting while managing data complexity by applying changes only where needed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

User experience parameters are applied in formatting results to a query for presentation. The user experience parameters correspond to at least one particular subject related to the query.
