Solution Overview

Problem

Current search term recommendation methods often fail to accurately meet user search demands, leading to inefficient information access and prolonged search paths.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for search term recommendation that displays first search term cards with result summary information and updates them to second search term cards with search result preview information upon user trigger, allowing for enhanced information display and efficient search result access without page jumps.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If current search term recommendation methods are used, then the search term can be recommended and displayed on information pages, but the search results do not meet search demands and the information search path is lengthened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesearch term recommendationVSAvoidinformation search path
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by displaying search result preview information directly on the search term card before the user completes the search. The system pre-fetches and prepares search result information (including natural search results and generative search results) so that when the user triggers the search term card, the results are already ready for immediate display, eliminating the need for subsequent page navigation and reducing search time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces search result preview information as an intermediary element between the search term card and the final search results page. This preview information acts as a mediator that provides sufficient detail to satisfy user search demands without requiring full page navigation, thereby shortening the information search path while maintaining recommendation functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If search result preview information is displayed on the search term card, then information access efficiency is improved, but the card display structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation access efficiencyVSAvoidsearch term card structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by implementing a state-changing search term card that can transition between different display states. The card dynamically switches from a simple state (displaying only search term and basic summary) to an enhanced state (displaying search result preview information including natural and generative results). This dynamic transformation allows the card to adapt its complexity based on user interaction, maintaining simplicity for initial display while providing rich information when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the search result information into different components (natural search results and generative search results) and displays them in a structured manner within the search term card. By dividing the information into manageable segments with distinct visual representations, the system can efficiently display comprehensive preview information without overwhelming the user, thereby improving information access efficiency while managing display complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple types of search result information are aggregated, then the search results meet diverse search demands, but the information processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesearch result diversityVSAvoidinformation processing
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by designing a unified search term card structure that can accommodate multiple types of search result information (natural search results and generative search results). The system uses a single card interface that serves multiple functions: displaying search term information, presenting natural search results, showing generative search results, and providing a trigger for detailed view. This multi-functional design allows the system to handle diverse search demands through a consistent interface, improving adaptability without proportionally increasing processing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes parameters related to information presentation by dynamically adjusting the type and amount of information displayed on the search term card based on the search query characteristics and user interaction state. The system modifies display parameters such as information density, result type (natural vs. generative), and card state to optimize the balance between information diversity and processing complexity for different search scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a search term recommendation method and apparatus, a computer device, and a storage medium. The method includes: displaying a plurality of first search term cards, where the first search term card includes a search keyword and result summary information in at least one corresponding information dimension; and in response to a trigger operation for any one of the first search term cards, updating the first search term card to a second search term card, where search result preview information is displayed in the second search term card; the search result preview information is related to at least one of a natural search result and a generative search result; and the search result preview information is used for display of a search result details page corresponding to the search keyword after the search result preview information is triggered.
