Solution Overview

Problem

Current search engines require users to navigate through multiple screens to view search results for different keywords, including related keywords, which can be inconvenient and disrupt the seamless search experience.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that display search results for multiple keywords, including related keywords, on a single screen, allowing users to view and manage results without screen transitions, with the option to sort and prioritize results based on search requests and keyword associations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If a search result page is created as an individual screen for each keyword, then the search result can be displayed clearly and completely, but the user must navigate through multiple screens to view search results for different keywords including related keywords

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesearch result completenessVSAvoidsearch convenience

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple search result pages for different keywords into a single integrated search result screen. The system accumulates search results for a first keyword and related second keywords, then displays them together on one screen with clear visual distinction. This eliminates the need for users to navigate between multiple screens while maintaining complete search result information.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of operation

If multiple search results are accumulated on a single screen, then the user can view results without screen transitions, but the screen layout and result organization become more complex

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesearch convenienceVSAvoidscreen structure

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the search results on the single screen by clearly distinguishing between first keyword results and second keyword results. Each keyword's search results are organized in separate regions or sections, allowing users to easily identify and navigate different result sets without confusion. This segmentation maintains screen organization despite displaying multiple keyword results simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different display characteristics to different regions of the screen based on keyword importance and relevance. The first keyword results may be displayed with different visual properties (such as positioning, formatting, or highlighting) compared to second keyword results, allowing users to quickly understand the hierarchy and relationships between different search results.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A search result providing method implemented in a computer includes providing a search result screen including a search result of a first keyword in response to a search request for the first keyword, and additionally providing a search result of a second keyword on the search result screen in response to a search request for at least one second keyword different from the first keyword.
