Server Contact Recommendation via Keyword Search Matching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current communication network technologies do not effectively facilitate the discovery and connection of users with similar search interests, limiting the efficiency of information sharing and collaboration among users with related keyword searches.
Innovation Solution
A method and device for providing contact information by receiving keyword input from a user, identifying and displaying contact information of users who have searched for similar or associated keywords, using a server that stores and updates a contact list with user activity scores and keyword associations to recommend relevant contacts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a search engine provides only traditional URL or page links as search results, then the system maintains simplicity and ease of operation, but user connection and collaboration efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines traditional search result delivery (URLs/pages) with user contact information display into a single integrated system. When users perform keyword searches, the system simultaneously retrieves both relevant web content and contact information of users who have searched for similar keywords, merging information retrieval with social connection functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The search engine is enhanced to perform multiple functions: traditional information retrieval through URL/page links, plus user discovery and contact provision. The system universally serves both informational needs and social connection needs within a single search interface, allowing users to both find information and connect with relevant users.
2Productivity
If the system displays contact information of users with similar search interests, then user collaboration and information sharing improves, but system complexity and data processing requirements worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-collecting and storing user contact information and search history data in advance. User profiles, including contact details and past search behaviors, are prepared and indexed beforehand, enabling rapid retrieval and matching when new searches occur without complex real-time processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism - a user profile database that stores contact information and search behavior data. This intermediary layer mediates between the search engine and user contact delivery, simplifying the system structure by centralizing data management and providing a buffer between search processing and contact information delivery.
3Measurement precision
If keyword-based user matching is implemented, then relevance of contact recommendations improves, but measurement precision and data processing complexity worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The system utilizes parameter changes by transforming user search behaviors into quantifiable metrics such as keyword frequency, search timing, and keyword association strength. These parameters enable precise matching by comparing parameter values between searching users and potential contact candidates, improving matching accuracy through parameter-based evaluation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms by analyzing user interactions with recommended contacts and adjusting future recommendations accordingly. User behavior data, including whether contacts were added, messages sent, or further searches performed, feeds back into the system to refine keyword matching algorithms and improve future contact recommendation precision.
