Solution Overview

Problem

Current search engine technologies fail to provide an immersive and scene-based experience for users interacting with search results, limiting diversity in interaction methods such as browsing, listening, touching, sliding, scaling, and photographing.

Innovation Solution

An interaction method and device that extracts interaction instructions from user operations on a browser, generates guiding interaction steps based on preset rules, and prompts users to perform interactions with rich media search results, enabling diverse interactions like image and speech data collection and display for enhanced engagement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional search result display is used, then the search result can be displayed simply, but the user interaction diversity and immersion are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction diversityVSAvoidsearch result page complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The search result page is segmented into multiple interactive regions (text search area, image search area, video search area, etc.), each supporting different interaction types. This allows diverse interactions without overwhelming complexity, as each segment handles specific interaction modes independently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The search result page dynamically adapts its layout and interaction methods based on user behavior and search context. The system adjusts the display and interaction options in real-time, enabling immersive experiences while maintaining simplicity through adaptive design rather than fixed complex structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If multiple interaction ways are implemented, then user engagement is improved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interaction easeVSAvoidinteraction system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects user interaction intentions and provides appropriate guidance without requiring complex manual configuration. The interaction guidance mechanism self-adjusts based on user actions, reducing the burden on users while managing system complexity through automated response generation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback loops where user interactions are monitored, and interaction guidance is dynamically adjusted accordingly. This feedback mechanism simplifies user operation by adapting to user needs while managing complexity through intelligent response generation based on observed behavior patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Loss of information

If rich media search results are displayed, then the scene-based experience is enhanced, but the information processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidinformation processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Different regions of the search result page are optimized for specific types of information and interactions. Text areas provide detailed descriptions, image areas offer visual exploration, and video areas enable auditory engagement. This local optimization ensures information completeness without requiring uniform complex processing across the entire page.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-processes and organizes rich media content before user interaction, structuring information in advance to reduce processing complexity during actual use. Interaction guidance is prepared in advance based on search context, enabling smooth information delivery without real-time processing bottlenecks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

The present disclosure provides an interaction method and an interaction device for a search result. The method includes: in response to determining that an interaction operation is performed, by a user of an electronic device, on the search result through a browser, extracting an interaction instruction based on the interaction operation; generating a guiding interaction step matching with the interaction instruction based on a preset rule; and prompting the user based on the guiding interaction step, such that the user performs interaction with the search result based on the guiding interaction step.
