Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional search result pages are used, then the interface is simple and easy to understand, but interaction forms lack diversity and user engagement is limited

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveinteraction forms diversityVSAvoidinterface complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the search result page into multiple functional zones: traditional text results, interaction control areas, and animation display regions. This segmentation allows diverse interaction forms to coexist with simple navigation, resolving the contradiction between interaction diversity and interface simplicity by organizing complexity into distinct, manageable segments

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic elements including clickable interaction controls that change state upon user input, and animations that activate based on user actions. These dynamic components add interaction versatility while maintaining interface simplicity through context-triggered activation rather than permanent complexity

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If more interaction controls and animations are added to search results, then user engagement is enhanced, but the display content becomes more complex and operations may be simplified excessively

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveoperation simplicityVSAvoiddisplay content richness

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces animation elements as intermediaries between user actions and detailed information display. Animations provide visual feedback and enhance engagement without requiring users to navigate through complex information structures, thus maintaining operation simplicity while preserving information richness through the intermediary animation layer

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adds a visual dimension through animations that complement textual information. This dimensional enhancement enriches display content without adding operational complexity, as users interact through the same simple click-based interface while receiving enhanced visual feedback in an additional dimensional layer

Inventive Principle:

Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

AI summary

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an interaction method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium. The method includes: displaying, in a search result page, at least one interaction control corresponding to a target object in response to a search operation for the target object; and displaying a target animation in response to a trigger operation for a target interaction control in the at least one interaction control, wherein the target animation is an animation of a target visual element, and the target visual element is associated with the target object.
