Information Processing Device Search Result Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional search systems mix primary products with their accessories in search results, making it difficult to distinguish between them.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that uses a query log database to generate relevant word candidates by combining search keywords with suffix characters, calculates scores for these candidates, and separates search results to display primary products and accessories distinctly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If conventional search systems list all search results based on a keyword, then the quantity of search results is increased, but the mixture of primary products and accessories makes it difficult to distinguish targets
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments search results into multiple categories (primary products, accessories, related items) and displays them in separate sections on the search result page. This segmentation allows users to clearly distinguish between different types of items while maintaining a comprehensive search result set, directly resolving the contradiction between quantity and clarity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If search results include both primary products and accessories, then the versatility of search coverage is improved, but the difficulty of detecting and measuring the target type increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing different visual presentations and organizational structures for different types of search results. Primary products, accessories, and related items each have distinct display characteristics and categorical labels, making it easy for users to identify target types while maintaining comprehensive search coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a categorical dimension to search results by organizing items into hierarchical categories (primary product, accessory, related item). This dimensional organization allows users to easily distinguish target types without reducing search coverage, transforming the one-dimensional list into a multi-dimensional structured presentation.

AI summary
A first word is acquired (S1), a plurality of relevant words associated with the acquired first word and containing a character string of the first word are generated (S3, S4), search results using the generated relevant words as search keywords are acquired (S5, S6), and search result information 40 is generated so as to display a search result 42 on a screen of a displaying means in accordance with each of the relevant words (S7, S8).
