Search Engine Argument Segmentation for Travel Reservation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional internet search methods require additional operations to find specific travel reservation information, as users need to input keywords for travel agencies and additional details like dates and destinations separately, making it difficult to quickly retrieve intended travel plans from numerous web pages.
Innovation Solution
A system that receives a character string input containing keywords and arguments, separates them based on search frequency, specifies the target website, and displays relevant pages related to the arguments, allowing users to find specific travel plans with fewer search operations by transmitting arguments to the website server for targeted page searches.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If users input keywords to search for travel agency websites, then they can accurately hit the top page of the travel agency website, but they need additional operations to look for and input reservation details in the reservation form
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the website search function and the reservation information retrieval function into a single integrated search operation. By transmitting both keywords and arguments together to the search engine, the system merges two separate operations (finding the website and then finding the reservation information) into one unified process, eliminating the need for additional navigation steps.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-processing the search query to separate keywords from arguments, and by having the search engine directly access and transmit reservation information from the target website before the user even visits the site. This preliminary retrieval of reservation data saves users from having to manually navigate through the website and fill out forms.
2Loss of information
If users perform multiple search operations to obtain travel plan information, then they can find detailed reservation information, but the search process becomes more complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the search query into two distinct components: keywords for identifying the target website and arguments for retrieving specific reservation information. This segmentation allows the search engine to efficiently process each component separately while maintaining the ability to retrieve comprehensive travel plan information in a single operation, reducing both time and complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The search engine is designed with multi-functionality to handle both website identification and information retrieval within a single search operation. By making the search system universal enough to perform multiple functions (finding the site and extracting reservation details), it eliminates the need for sequential operations, thereby reducing search time while maintaining information completeness.
3Productivity
If the search system transmits both keywords and arguments to the website server, then it can retrieve relevant travel plan information, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The search engine acts as an intermediary between the user and the website server. It receives the combined keywords and arguments from the user, processes them according to predefined rules, and transmits the appropriate information request to the website server. This intermediary role simplifies the overall system by centralizing the complexity in the search engine rather than requiring complex interactions between multiple components.

AI summary
The system for search of the present invention includes a search engine, a web site server, and a terminal. The control unit of the terminal performs the input receiving module to receive the predetermined keyword and argument input from the user. The control unit of the search engine performs the web site specifying module to specify the web site relating to the keyword and the argument that the terminal has received as the web site server. The control unit of the terminal performs the argument-related page display module and displays the page relating to the argument of the web site on the image display unit.
