Solution Overview

Problem

Search engines face inefficiencies in retrieving website authentication data due to its scattered nature across different data sources, leading to repeated and outdated information, which affects search speed and accuracy.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that centralize and reorganize website authentication data from multiple sources, indexing by URLs and user identifiers, and filtering out duplicates, allowing for quick transmission to search engines when requested.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the search engine searches website authentication data in different traffics based on URLs, then it can obtain authentication data from multiple sources, but the search speed decreases and data accuracy is affected due to repeated and outdated information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication data accuracyVSAvoidsearch speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-collecting and storing website authentication data from multiple traffic sources (Baidu Statistics, Baidu Koubei, Baidu Baike) in a unified database before search requests arrive. This allows the search engine to quickly retrieve consolidated authentication data without performing multiple separate searches across different traffics, thereby improving both search speed and data accuracy by eliminating repeated queries and outdated information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges authentication data from multiple scattered traffic sources into a single unified database structure. By combining data from Baidu Statistics, Baidu Koubei, and Baidu Baike into one centralized repository with standardized formatting, the system enables the search engine to retrieve comprehensive authentication data in a single operation, resolving the contradiction between obtaining multi-source data and maintaining fast search performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Loss of information

If the search engine searches in multiple traffics to obtain comprehensive authentication data, then data completeness improves, but the complexity of the search process increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication data completenessVSAvoidsearch process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal authentication data database that serves multiple traffic sources through a single interface. This unified database structure can handle authentication data from Baidu Statistics, Baidu Koubei, and Baidu Baike simultaneously, providing complete authentication information through one standardized search process rather than requiring separate searches for each traffic source, thereby reducing process complexity while maintaining data completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-aggregating authentication data from all traffic sources into a unified database with standardized formatting. This advance preparation eliminates the need for complex multi-step search processes, as the search engine can retrieve complete authentication data through a single simplified query, thus reducing search process complexity while ensuring data completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of manufacture

If authentication data are stored in scattered traffics, then data organization matches existing system structure, but retrieval efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem structure compatibilityVSAvoiddata retrieval efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges authentication data from scattered traffic sources into a unified database while maintaining compatibility with existing system structures. The unified database accepts data from Baidu Statistics, Baidu Koubei, and Baidu Baike in their original formats but organizes them in a standardized structure that enables efficient retrieval, thus improving productivity without completely discarding the existing system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The unified authentication database acts as an intermediary layer between the scattered traffic sources and the search engine. It receives data from multiple traffics in various formats, standardizes and consolidates the information, then provides efficient unified access to the search engine, thereby improving retrieval efficiency while maintaining compatibility with existing system structures through the intermediary database layer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
