Search Result Prioritization Using Terminal Attributes
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current search methods fail to accurately present search results relevant to the terminal used by a user, leading to low search result accuracy when identical queries are input from different terminals.
Innovation Solution
A method that obtains user queries and terminal attribute information to adjust the display position of search results in a webpage database, prioritizing results applicable to the user's terminal by modifying weight values or exchanging positions, ensuring relevant results are displayed first.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If identical queries are processed the same way across all terminals, then the search system maintains simplicity and consistency, but the search result accuracy for terminal-specific requirements deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by obtaining terminal attribute information before processing the search query. The server retrieves device type, operating system, and other terminal-specific attributes in advance, then uses these attributes to guide the search process and result presentation, ensuring terminal-specific requirements are met before results are generated
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements local quality by customizing the search result presentation based on terminal attributes. Different terminals receive differently processed results - for example, mobile devices may receive simplified results while desktops receive detailed results, or application download results are prioritized for mobile terminals. This allows the same query to produce locally optimized results for each terminal type
2Reliability
If search results are customized for different terminals, then the relevance to user needs improves, but the processing time and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary retrieval of terminal attribute information before search processing begins. By having device type, operating system, and other attributes ready in advance, the system can quickly determine the appropriate result presentation strategy without adding significant processing time during the actual search execution
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes parameters such as result sorting order, presentation format, and prioritization based on terminal attributes. For example, mobile terminals may have results sorted by download availability while desktops use traditional relevance sorting. These parameter adjustments are made efficiently based on pre-obtained attribute information rather than requiring complex real-time analysis
