Search Engine New Media Preview Module
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional search engines lack the capability to discover and display new media information, resulting in a poor user search experience due to the absence of new media resources and recording/displaying mechanisms.
Innovation Solution
A method and device for displaying new media information in a search engine, where search information input by a user is sent to a server, and element data of new media information is obtained and displayed in a current search result page in a new media display format without requiring a page jump, allowing for direct preview or playback of rich media data such as images and videos.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If traditional search engines are used to search for information, then the search engine can return text-based search results, but the user cannot discover new media information or obtain faster and more detailed new media content
Solution Approach 1:
The search engine is enhanced to perform multiple functions: traditional text-based search and new media information discovery. The system integrates new media search capabilities, allowing the search engine to handle both conventional web content and new media platforms (microblogs, videos, images) within a unified search framework, thereby reducing information loss across different media types
2Ease of operation
If the search engine displays traditional text-based search results, then the search results can be displayed on the current page, but the user cannot view new media content without page jumping
Solution Approach 1:
New media content (images, videos, audio) is pre-loaded and rendered in preview formats directly within the search result page. The system prepares and displays thumbnail images, video previews, and audio waveforms before user interaction, allowing users to view new media content immediately without page jumps or additional loading delays
Solution Approach 2:
A preview mechanism acts as an intermediary between the search result and the full new media content. The system displays embedded previews (image thumbnails, video snippets, audio clips) within the search results, mediating the user's access to new media content without requiring navigation to separate pages, thereby eliminating page jump delays
3Loss of information
If the search engine integrates new media information display, then the user can view new media content directly in search results, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The search engine system is segmented into specialized modules: a new media search module for querying new media platforms, a content parsing module for extracting new media data, and a preview generation module for creating embedded previews. This modular segmentation allows the system to handle new media information without overwhelming complexity, as each module performs a specific function independently

AI summary
Provided here are methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for searching new media information using search engine. One of the methods includes: receiving search information input by a user using a search engine, and sending the search information to a server; obtaining, from a search result returned by the server, element data of new media information related to the search information; and displaying, in a current search result page of the search engine, the element data of the new media information in a new media display format, wherein the element data is data that is directly displayable without a page jump in response to an operation of the user on the element data.
