Solution Overview

Problem

Existing information recommendation technologies consume many processing resources when recommending information to specific groups of people, as they often send recommendations to all users, leading to inefficiency.

Innovation Solution

An information recommendation method and apparatus that obtain text data from clients, determine if it matches predetermined rules, and only retrieve relevant information from a second server if a matching rule is found, allowing for selective and efficient recommendations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If information is recommended to all users, then the coverage of information recommendation is improved, but the processing resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoverage of information recommendationVSAvoidprocessing resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The user base is segmented into different groups based on their characteristics and preferences. Instead of treating all users uniformly, the system divides them into segments (e.g., female users, male users, or other demographic groups) and applies targeted recommendation strategies to each segment. This allows the system to recommend information to specific groups without unnecessarily processing recommendations for all users, thereby reducing overall resource consumption while maintaining appropriate coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The recommendation system applies different quality levels of processing to different user segments. For users who match the target demographic (e.g., female users for a skirt advertisement), the system applies full recommendation processing. For users who do not match (e.g., male users), the system either skips recommendation or applies minimal processing. This local differentiation of processing quality reduces overall resource consumption while maintaining effective coverage for the target audience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Adaptability or versatility

If information is recommended to all users, then the reach of information recommendation is improved, but the efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereach of information recommendationVSAvoidrecommendation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-segmenting users into different groups based on their characteristics before the actual recommendation process. User profiles are pre-analyzed and categorized (e.g., identifying female users, students, white-collar workers) in advance. When a recommendation needs to be made, the system can quickly identify the target segment without performing complex real-time analysis for each user, thereby improving recommendation efficiency while maintaining broad reach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies partial action by recommending information only to the necessary subset of users who match the target criteria, rather than performing full recommendation processing for all users. For example, when promoting a skirt, the system applies recommendation actions only to female users and skips male users entirely. This partial application of the recommendation action maintains effective reach to the target audience while significantly improving efficiency by avoiding unnecessary processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Text data transmitted by a user device to a first server is retrieved. The text data is processed to determine whether an information recommendation rule set includes an information recommendation rule matching the text data. The information recommendation rule is set based on a recommendation information. If the information recommendation rule set includes the information recommendation rule matching the text data, the recommendation information is retrieved from a second server. A recommendation based on the recommendation information is transmitted to the user device.
