Solution Overview

Problem

Users face inefficiencies in accessing additional content related to reviewed products or articles due to a long access path, leading to resource wastage in searching for producers or providers.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that display a first page with content and options, transitioning to a second page upon triggering both content and option signals, featuring an object for accessing related content, and changing its state upon further interaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If users search for merchants or recommenders manually to add them, then the system can maintain basic functionality, but it wastes user resources and increases access time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess timeVSAvoidoperation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by automatically obtaining and displaying merchant or recommender information on the same page as the reviewed content, before the user needs to access it. The information is pre-fetched and positioned for immediate access, eliminating the need for subsequent manual searching.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism where the review page automatically includes and links to merchant/recommender information. This intermediary structure bridges the gap between reviewing content and accessing the producer, making the connection automatic and direct without requiring separate search operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If the system provides direct access to related content on the same page, then access efficiency improves, but the page structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess efficiencyVSAvoidpage structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the review content display with the merchant/recommender information display on a single page. By combining these previously separate access paths into one integrated view, the system achieves direct access without requiring users to navigate between different pages or interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The review page is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as a content review interface and as an information hub that automatically includes producer details. This universal design allows the same page to fulfill multiple functions: displaying the review, providing merchant info, and enabling direct access to related content.

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