Solution Overview
Problem
Current search engines primarily provide text-based search results, which result in a poorer information expression effect, failing to effectively meet user demands for visual information.
Innovation Solution
A searching method and apparatus that identifies picture-expressible terms within search queries and returns picture results, enhancing information expression by providing quick and vivid visual representations of search terms.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If text-based search results are provided, then the search engine can deliver information efficiently, but the information expression effect is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The search result processing is segmented into multiple stages: first extracting picture-expressible terms from the search query, then separately processing text results and picture results, and finally presenting them in a structured format. This segmentation allows the system to handle different types of information expression independently, improving the overall information expression effect while managing complexity systematically.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from traditional one-dimensional text-based search results to a multi-dimensional result presentation that includes both text and picture dimensions. By adding the visual dimension through picture-expressible term processing, the system enriches information expression without completely replacing the text-based approach, thus resolving the contradiction between information quality and system complexity.
2Loss of information
If picture results are provided based on picture-expressible terms, then information expression effect is enhanced, but the processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-identifying and extracting picture-expressible terms from the search query before generating search results. This preliminary processing step enables the system to prepare picture-related data in advance, which simplifies the subsequent result generation process and reduces overall processing complexity while maintaining enhanced visual information expression.
Solution Approach 2:
The picture-expressible term acts as an intermediary between the user's search query and the picture search results. By introducing this intermediate classification layer, the system can efficiently route queries to appropriate picture or text results without requiring complex direct analysis, thus reducing processing complexity while enhancing visual information delivery.
