Solution Overview

Problem

Current search result display methods in electronic devices are inefficient, requiring users to navigate through multiple pages, leading to a poor user experience and low search efficiency, especially for users who engage in deep consumption of search results.

Innovation Solution

A method for displaying search results that involves demand analysis based on the user's query request, followed by an initial search to obtain relevant results. The method determines first display information and associated second display information, which are then displayed on the interface, reducing the need for users to navigate through multiple pages.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If users navigate through multiple pages to access related search results, then comprehensive information can be obtained, but user experience deteriorates and search efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomprehensive informationVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the search results list page and search details page into a single integrated display. Related search results are shown alongside the current result without requiring page navigation, combining multiple information sources in one view to eliminate the need for repeated searching while maintaining ease of access to comprehensive information

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adds a new display dimension by showing related search results in a side panel or adjacent area rather than requiring users to navigate to separate pages. This spatial arrangement allows simultaneous access to multiple information sources without increasing the complexity of the main interface

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Loss of information

If users navigate through multiple pages to access related search results, then comprehensive information can be obtained, but search efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomprehensive informationVSAvoidsearch efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically identifying and displaying related search results that the user would otherwise need to search for separately. By pre-fetching and presenting related information in the current view, the system eliminates the need for users to initiate additional searches, thereby improving search efficiency while maintaining access to comprehensive information

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Loss of information

If the current search path is used, then users can access detailed information, but the consumption path becomes long and complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetailed informationVSAvoidconsumption path
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the detailed information view with the search results list by displaying related results in an adjacent panel. This merging eliminates the need for users to navigate away from the current context to access detailed information, shortening the consumption path while ensuring access to comprehensive details

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a method for displaying search result, an electronic device, and a storage medium. The method includes: performing, according to a received query request, demand analysis to obtain a demand analysis result; performing, according to the demand analysis result and the query request, a search to obtain an initial search result; determining, according to the demand analysis result and the initial search result, first display information; determining, according to the first display information, second display information associated with the first display information; and displaying, at a preset position of a display interface, the first display information, and displaying, next to the first display information, the second display information. The present disclosure can improve the efficiency of a user browsing information and enhance the experience of the user.
