Solution Overview

Problem

Existing query result presentation systems require complex workflows due to separate presentation modes for different types of results, leading to inefficiencies and user inconvenience in finding desired results.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that acquire a query intention from a request, determine a matching result presentation template, and present a query result page with a recommended first result area, using assembly-based design to unify layout and improve user experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If separate presentation modes are used for different types of query results, then various query results can be presented with specialized layouts, but the workflow becomes complex and user convenience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepresentation adaptabilityVSAvoidworkflow complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by creating a unified presentation framework that handles multiple query result types through a single template system. The framework includes a template selection module that automatically selects appropriate presentation templates based on query result types, and a uniform template structure that adapts to different content kinds (text, images, videos, etc.), eliminating the need for separate specialized presentation modes while maintaining versatility.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the presentation framework into modular components: a template selection module, a uniform template structure with standardized elements (content area, metadata area, interaction area), and an automatic generation module. This segmentation allows the system to handle diverse query results through standardized modular units rather than complex monolithic presentation modes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple separate presentation modes are implemented, then different query result types can be optimized, but user convenience in finding desired results deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequery result optimizationVSAvoiduser convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining a set of standardized presentation templates with optimized structures for different query result types. The template selection module pre-prepares appropriate templates based on query result type classification, so when users submit queries, the system can immediately present results in optimized formats without requiring users to navigate through multiple separate presentation modes or manually select display options.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The unified presentation framework serves multiple functions through a single interface: it presents text results, image results, video results, and other query types all through the same standardized template structure, maintaining consistent user interaction patterns across different result types while still providing optimized presentations for each type.

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

3Device complexity

If uniform presentation template is used across all query intentions, then development complexity is reduced and consistency is improved, but the ability to handle diverse query types deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevelopment complexityVSAvoidquery type coverage
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by maintaining a uniform template structure while allowing dynamic adjustment of template parameters based on query result types. The template includes configurable elements such as content area layout, metadata display options, and interaction components that can be modified through parameters rather than requiring different template structures. This allows the same template framework to adapt to diverse query types through parameter variation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The presentation framework implements dynamics by making the uniform template structure adaptable through automatic selection and configuration. The template selection module dynamically chooses and configures templates based on query result types, and the template elements can dynamically adjust their content and layout parameters. This dynamic behavior allows a single uniform template structure to effectively handle diverse query types without requiring separate static templates for each type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

According to embodiments of the disclosure, there is provided a method, an apparatus, a device and a computer-readable storage medium for presenting a query result. The method includes: in response to receiving a query request, acquiring a query intention associated with the query request; determining, from a plurality of result presentation templates, a result presentation template that matches the query intention; and presenting, based on the result presentation template, a query result page for the query request, the query result page including a first result area corresponding to the result presentation template, wherein the first result area is configured to provide a recommended first query result from a group of query results for the query request. Therefore, a clearer, more harmonious and visually hierarchical query result page can be provided for a user for the query request of the user.
