Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information retrieval systems are inflexible and fail to adapt to scenarios where users continuously follow information, lacking the ability to enrich retrieval manners and meet the evolving interests of users.
Innovation Solution
Implementing an information processing method that displays a subscription field, allowing users to configure and edit search fields, and outputs information related to these fields, enhancing flexibility and adaptability to user interests through continuous following.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If existing information retrieval interface is used with simple search field, then the system is simple to operate, but it cannot adapt to scenarios where users continuously follow information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a dynamic subscription field mechanism that allows users to configure, edit, and manage multiple search fields over time. The system dynamically updates and retrieves information based on user-subscribed fields, enabling continuous information following. This dynamic approach transforms the static search interface into an adaptive system that evolves with user interests.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enhances the information retrieval interface to serve multiple functions: traditional one-time search, continuous subscription-based retrieval, and historical search management. The subscription field mechanism allows the same interface to handle both ad-hoc queries and ongoing information following, making the system universally applicable to diverse user needs without requiring separate specialized tools.
2Adaptability or versatility
If subscription field with editing capability is added, then information retrieval flexibility is improved, but the operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the search field functionality into distinct components: traditional search fields for one-time queries and subscription fields for continuous retrieval. This segmentation allows users to choose the appropriate mode based on their needs. The subscription field is further segmented into configurable parameters that can be independently edited, providing flexibility while maintaining operational clarity through structured organization.
3Adaptability or versatility
If continuous information retrieval based on subscription field is implemented, then user interest adaptability is improved, but system resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements continuous information retrieval by maintaining active subscription fields that automatically update and notify users of new information matching their subscribed criteria. The system continuously monitors and retrieves information based on user-defined parameters, ensuring uninterrupted information flow. This continuous action is optimized through efficient querying mechanisms that minimize redundant operations while maintaining real-time responsiveness to user interests.

AI summary
Embodiments of this application provide an information processing method performed by a computer device. The method includes: displaying an information retrieval interface; displaying a subscription field in the information retrieval interface, the subscription field being a configured search field by a user of the computer device; obtaining the subscription field from the user of the computer device, the subscription field supporting editing, and the editing comprising modification or deletion; refreshing and displaying the changed subscription field when the subscription field changes due to editing; and outputting information related to the subscription field and subscribed by the user of the computer device. The embodiments of this application can enrich information retrieval manners, improve information retrieval flexibility, and better adapt to a scenario in which an object continuously follows information.
