Solution Overview

Problem

Current internet search technologies result in low-loading speeds and inconsistent user experiences due to the need for users to repeatedly input queries to view related information, leading to a disjointed and poor user experience.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for displaying recommendation contents by receiving a user query, selecting relevant results, and allowing users to seamlessly transition from a search result page to an information stream page based on attribute information, providing personalized and continuous content viewing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If users view information on third-party websites via search result pages, then information access is provided, but loading speed is low and user experience is inconsistent

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experience consistencyVSAvoidloading speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an information stream page as an intermediary between the search result page and third-party websites. This intermediary aggregates and pre-loads information from multiple sources, providing a consistent and fast viewing experience while users can still access original third-party websites when needed. The information stream page acts as a buffer that improves loading speed and experience consistency without eliminating the need for third-party content sources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If users input queries repeatedly to view continuous information, then information access is provided, but the viewing process becomes separate and incoherent

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontinuous information viewingVSAvoidviewing process coherence
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements an information stream that continuously provides related information without requiring users to repeatedly input queries. The system automatically generates and updates the information stream based on the initial search query, maintaining continuous relevant content display. This eliminates the need for repeated query inputs while keeping the viewing process coherent and seamless.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Measurement precision

If search result pages display only traditional search results, then query accuracy is maintained, but user engagement and continuous viewing are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequery result accuracyVSAvoiduser engagement efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges traditional search results with an information stream feature on the same search result page. The information stream aggregates related content from multiple third-party websites and presents it in a unified, organized format while maintaining the accuracy of original search results. This combination allows users to view both precise search results and aggregated continuous information without leaving the page, improving engagement efficiency while preserving query accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A method for displaying recommendation contents, an electronic device and a non-transitory computer storage medium are provided. The method includes: receiving a first query input by a user, and acquiring candidate query results corresponding to the first query; selecting, from the candidate query results, a preset number of candidate query results as recommendation results, and displaying the recommendation results on a search result page; receiving a first instruction, and acquiring attribute information of the user, in which the first instruction represents an instruction to acquire an information stream input by the user on the search result page; and acquiring information stream results corresponding to the attribute information of the user, and skipping from the search result page to an information stream page, so as to display the information stream results on the information stream page.
