Solution Overview

Problem

Users face inefficiencies in finding solutions to problems due to the need for manual recording and organizing search keywords and webpages, leading to a poor user experience.

Innovation Solution

An electronic device provides a search event chain display method that includes receiving a search instruction, obtaining a search result with associated events, and displaying a search event chain card, allowing users to intuitively view and interact with the search results.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users manually record and organize search keywords and webpages, then search results can be organized, but user experience deteriorates due to time-consuming manual recording

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser experienceVSAvoidtime for manual recording

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically records search keywords and webpage information without requiring manual user input. The electronic device autonomously captures search events, organizes them into chains, and presents them to users, eliminating the need for manual recording while maintaining organized search results.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The manual mechanical process of recording and organizing search information is replaced by an automated electronic system. The electronic device uses software to automatically capture, process, and display search event chains, substituting manual operations with digital automation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Ease of operation

If search results are displayed in traditional forms, then search functionality is maintained, but user experience deteriorates due to lack of intuitiveness

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveintuitiveness of displayVSAvoiddisplay format complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The search results are segmented into discrete event chain units, each representing a sequential search step. This segmentation allows complex search histories to be broken down into manageable, intuitive cards that are easy to understand and navigate, improving user experience without excessive complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The display transitions from traditional linear or list-based search results to a card-based dimensional representation. Each search event chain is visualized as a card with structured information, adding visual and organizational dimensions that enhance intuitiveness while maintaining manageable complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

AI summary

This application provides a search event chain display method, a search event chain generation method, and an electronic device. In the method, when a user performs a search by using a search engine, the search engine may return, to the user, data that is of a search event chain and that is uploaded by another user, and then an electronic device renders a search event chain card based on the data of the search event chain and displays the card to the user. In this way, the user can directly view a search event chain of a problem, a display form is more intuitive, and user experience is better.
