Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing online shopping cart systems lack functionality for easily sharing and managing product information with others, making it inconvenient to transfer or collect product lists from shopping carts before purchasing.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that generates a web page for sharing product information from a shopping cart, allowing users to share via URL in text or social networks, and enables a copy-paste function to transfer products to other users' carts, along with grouping and naming features for organized sharing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If product information is stored in a shopping cart for later purchase, then the customer can collect products before purchasing, but it becomes inconvenient to transfer product information to friends or manage multiple shopping carts
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a copy-paste function that allows users to easily copy product information from one shopping cart to another, or share it with friends. This copying mechanism resolves the contradiction by providing a simple way to transfer product information without complex manual operations, while maintaining the integrity of the original shopping cart data
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a sharing function that acts as an intermediary between different shopping carts and users. This intermediary mechanism enables seamless transfer and sharing of product information through generated links, simplifying the management complexity while improving transfer convenience
2Adaptability or versatility
If a sharing function is added to the shopping cart, then product information can be easily shared with others, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates multiple functions into the shopping cart system, including sharing, copying, and group management capabilities. By making the shopping cart universal and multi-functional, the system achieves high adaptability for different use cases while managing complexity through unified design patterns that handle multiple operations through consistent interfaces
3Adaptability or versatility
If product information is shared through multiple terminals, then collaboration and mutual shopping lists are enabled, but data synchronization and management become more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements automatic synchronization mechanisms that provide feedback between multiple terminals accessing the same shopping cart. When products are added, removed, or modified on any terminal, the changes are automatically propagated to other terminals, ensuring data consistency without requiring complex manual synchronization management from users
Data Source
AI summary
Disclosed are a system of providing product information using a copy/paste function of an electronic commerce shopping cart, a method thereof and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having a computer program recorded thereon. The method can be used as an effective intercommunication means by mutual exchange of shopping lists with acquaintances or friends rather than solo shopping. Further, user convenience in purchasing products and the probability of purchasing products can be enhanced by the method.
