Webpage Scoring for Environmental Ratings in Search Results
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mainstream search engines do not provide environmental protection rating information for stores, making it difficult for users to make eco-friendly choices during searches.
Innovation Solution
A webpage scoring method that analyzes webpage content to obtain environmental rating information, performs keyword searches, and presents search results with this information in a window interface, allowing users to easily identify environmentally friendly options.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If search engines provide only traditional search results without environmental information, then the search system remains simple and fast, but users cannot access environmental rating information for informed eco-friendly choices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-calculating and storing environmental rating information for webpages before search queries are executed. The system analyzes webpage content, extracts environmental-related information, and computes ratings in advance, so that when users perform searches, the environmental ratings are already available and can be quickly displayed alongside search results without adding significant processing time to the search operation itself
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses an intermediary approach by introducing an environmental rating module that acts as a mediator between the traditional search engine and the user. This module independently analyzes webpage content for environmental information, computes ratings separately, and then integrates these ratings with search results. The intermediary module handles the complexity of environmental analysis without requiring modifications to the core search engine architecture
2Loss of information
If search engines integrate environmental rating analysis for all webpages, then users gain comprehensive environmental information, but the processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by selectively analyzing only the environmental-related aspects of webpage content rather than processing all content uniformly. The system identifies and extracts specifically environmental information (such as sustainability practices, eco-friendly materials, carbon footprint data) from webpages and focuses computational resources on analyzing these localized environmental attributes, leaving other webpage content unanalyzed or minimally processed
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements partial action by applying environmental rating analysis only to specific portions of search results or to webpages that are likely to contain environmental information based on keywords, categories, or user preferences. Rather than universally analyzing every webpage in the search index, the system selectively applies environmental analysis to relevant cases, reducing overall processing time while still providing environmental information where most beneficial
Data Source
AI summary
A webpage scoring method used with a search engine and an electronic device are disclosed. The method includes: analyzing a webpage content of a target webpage to obtain environmental rating information corresponding to the target webpage; performing a keyword search by the search engine; and presenting a search result related to the target webpage with the environmental rating information in a window interface.
