Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional search engines present information in a standard configuration, failing to account for individual user interests, habits, and behaviors, leading to inefficient information retrieval and reduced user engagement.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for generating personalized web page layouts by monitoring user browsing activities, assigning users to groups based on their behaviors, and dynamically rearranging content modules according to pre-defined or generated templates, ensuring that the same content is displayed in a user-specific manner.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a standard configuration is used to present information, then the system complexity is reduced and ease of manufacture is improved, but user engagement and information retrieval efficiency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of web page creationVSAvoidinformation retrieval efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of layout configuration from fixed standard to dynamic personalized arrangements. The system automatically adjusts layout parameters such as module position, size, and visibility based on user behavior data, transforming the static web page structure into an adaptive one that optimizes information retrieval efficiency without manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamics into the web page layout by continuously monitoring user interactions and automatically reconfiguring content modules in real-time. The layout transitions from a static standard configuration to a dynamic personalized arrangement that adapts to individual user preferences and behaviors, thereby improving information retrieval efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Productivity

If personalized layout is implemented, then user engagement and information retrieval efficiency are improved, but device complexity and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service by enabling the web page system to automatically monitor user behavior, analyze preferences, and generate personalized layouts without requiring manual configuration. The system serves itself by using its own collected data to optimize its presentation, reducing the need for complex external management while improving user engagement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms by continuously monitoring user interactions with content modules and using this feedback to automatically adjust layout configurations. The system creates a closed-loop control where user behavior data feeds back into the layout generation process, enabling continuous optimization of user engagement without manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Ease of operation

If content modules are prearranged in a preset order, then the ease of operation is improved and loading time is reduced, but adaptability to individual user preferences deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenavigation simplicityVSAvoidlayout adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining multiple layout templates that can be quickly switched between based on user preferences. Instead of generating layouts from scratch in real-time, the system prepares various configuration templates in advance and selects the most appropriate one based on monitored user behavior, maintaining both speed and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
