Solution Overview

Problem

Responses to search queries are typically provided in a style that does not align with the query, leading to a less engaging user experience.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that parses content queries to identify subjects and retrieves user experience parameters from an electronic database, formatting the response to match the query's style, including text, audio, and animation based on metadata associated with the subject.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If query responses are provided in a fixed standard style, then the system is simple to implement, but the user experience is less engaging

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experience engagementVSAvoidresponse formatting system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-processes queries to identify subjects and pre-retrieves associated styling parameters from a database before generating the response. This preliminary action enables dynamic styling without adding complexity to the core response generation logic, as the styling preparation is done in advance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

A styling parameter database acts as an intermediary between the query processing system and the response generation system. This intermediary layer stores pre-defined styling parameters for various subjects, allowing the system to apply appropriate styles without hardcoding complex formatting logic, thus resolving the contradiction between engagement and complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If query responses are customized based on identified subjects, then user engagement is enhanced, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experience engagementVSAvoidquery processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Styling parameters for various subjects are pre-retrieved and stored in a database before actual query processing. When a query is received, the system quickly matches the identified subject with pre-prepared styling parameters, significantly reducing the time required for customizing responses compared to generating styles in real-time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses template-based styling parameters stored in the database, which are pre-generated copies of formatting rules for different subjects. Instead of creating unique styling for each query, the system efficiently copies and applies appropriate pre-existing templates, reducing processing time while maintaining customization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Loss of information

If styling parameters are retrieved from a database for each query, then response relevance is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequery-subject styling relevanceVSAvoiddatabase integration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

A styling parameter database serves as an intermediary layer that decouples the query processing logic from the formatting logic. The database stores subject-associated styling parameters and provides them to the response generation system, reducing the complexity of integrating database functionality directly into the core processing pipeline while maintaining high relevance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The styling parameter database is designed to be universally applicable across different types of queries and subjects. A single database structure handles diverse styling requirements for multiple subjects, reducing the need for separate processing logic for each case and thereby minimizing overall system complexity while maintaining relevance.

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

AI summary

User experience parameters are applied in formatting results to a query for presentation. The user experience parameters correspond to at least one particular subject related to the query.
