Solution Overview

Problem

Manual updating of special topic pages is inefficient and prone to errors when dealing with large volumes of content adjustments across thousands or hundreds of thousands of pages, as it requires manual operation of visualized operation functions.

Innovation Solution

Generating shared configuration files for special topic pages based on similarity in structures and parameter information for content modules, allowing automated updates that adjust content across multiple pages with reduced manual intervention and increased efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual operation of visualized operation functions is used to update special topic pages, then ease of operation is improved, but productivity deteriorates when dealing with large volumes of content adjustments across thousands or hundreds of thousands of pages

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidproductivity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a configuration file that copies the structure and content of a template special topic page to generate multiple special topic pages. This allows automated duplication of page content across thousands of pages, dramatically improving productivity while maintaining operational ease through template-based generation rather than manual updates to each page

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The configuration file serves as a universal template that can generate multiple special topic pages with different content while maintaining the same structural framework. This multi-functional approach allows a single configuration to update across hundreds of thousands of pages, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and productivity

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

2Reliability

If manual updating is performed on each special topic page individually, then reliability is improved through careful control, but loss of time increases due to the extensive manual work required across large volumes of pages

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovereliabilityVSAvoidloss of time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by creating a configuration file that contains all the update information and structural templates before generating the actual page updates. This pre-prepared configuration can then be applied across hundreds of thousands of pages simultaneously, reducing time loss while maintaining reliability through systematic application of pre-validated content

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

By copying the template structure and applying it across multiple pages through automated generation, the system maintains reliability through consistent application of verified content patterns while dramatically reducing the time required compared to manual individual updates

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Ease of operation

If visualized operation functions are provided for adjusting page module content, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases when managing thousands or hundreds of thousands of pages

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the complexity management into a separate configuration file that handles all the intricate details of page generation. This separates the simple user operation (providing configuration parameters) from the complex execution (generating hundreds of thousands of pages), thereby maintaining ease of operation while managing device complexity in the configuration layer rather than the execution layer

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

Embodiments of the present application relate to a method for generating special topic pages, a device for generating special topic pages, and a computer program product for generating special topic pages. A method for generating special topic pages is provided. The method includes determining a configuration file bound to a special topic category corresponding to a received keyword, determining sub-categories that are under a category associated with the keyword in a quantity equal to the special topic content page module quantity in the configuration file, regarding the sub-categories as sub-category keywords in special topic content page modules, looking up product information that meets the query condition for the special topic content page modules in a database, regarding the looked up product information as content in the special topic content page modules, and generating the special topic content page modules within the special topic page.
