Search Interface Text Image Input Control Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing search methods experience low efficiency due to text-image mixed searching and mixed presentation, leading to increased operation time and reduced search effectiveness.
Innovation Solution
A search system and method that detects click operations in a search frame to enable either a text input control or an image input control, allowing users to input specific types of search information, which are then sent to a server for processing, thereby reducing cross-matching operations and improving search efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If text-image mixed searching and mixed sorting are carried out using text and image input by a user, then both text and image inputs are accepted, but search efficiency decreases due to low search efficiency and increased operation time
Solution Approach 1:
The search interface is segmented into distinct text search mode and image search mode through separate input controls. Users select a specific mode by clicking the corresponding control, which then enables only that mode's input functionality. This segmentation eliminates the confusion of mixed searching and allows the system to process only the selected type of search input, thereby improving search efficiency while maintaining input flexibility.
2Ease of operation
If text input control and image input control are set in a search frame to simultaneously receive texts or images, then both input types are available, but operation time increases due to cross-matching operations
Solution Approach 1:
The search interface dynamically switches between text search mode and image search mode based on user selection. When a user clicks on a search mode control, the system dynamically enables only that mode's input control and disables the other, creating a dynamic, adaptive interface that reduces operation time by eliminating cross-matching operations while maintaining ease of operation through clear visual indicators and straightforward input processes.

AI summary
Disclosed is a search system, method and apparatus. A click operation in a search frame is detected. In response to a click operation is detected, a control corresponding to the click operation is determined, the control comprising a text input control and an image input control that are preset in the search frame. The clicked control in the search frame according to the control corresponding to the click operation is enabled, and an unclicked control is concealed. Information for search through the enabled control is received, the information for search comprises a text for search or an image for search. The received information for search is sent to a server, so that the server carries out searching based on the information for search, to obtain an image search result.
