Automated Broken Link Relocation via Keyword Extraction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The frequent occurrence of HTTP 404 errors due to broken links between web pages, which can be caused by link changes, expiration, or reorganization, hampers efficient internet browsing and data access.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that utilize a computing device to automatically locate a new link to a target web page by using keywords extracted from the referring page's sitemap, natural language understanding, and web cache access, providing access to the target page even when the original link is broken.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If automatic web page relocation is implemented, then browsing efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
A computing device acts as an intermediary between the user's web browser and the web servers. When a broken link is detected, this intermediary automatically performs keyword extraction, sitemap analysis, and page relocation without requiring complex user actions or manual intervention, thereby improving browsing efficiency while containing system complexity within a dedicated intermediate system.
2Reliability
If manual link verification is performed, then link reliability is improved, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by proactively monitoring and detecting broken links before users encounter them. When a link is identified as broken, the system automatically initiates the relocation process in advance, extracting keywords and analyzing sitemaps to find alternative pages, thus ensuring link reliability without requiring users to spend time manually verifying links.
Solution Approach 2:
The web page relocation system operates autonomously without human intervention. The computing device automatically detects broken links, extracts keywords from referring pages, queries sitemaps, identifies relocated web pages, and redirects users seamlessly. This self-service capability ensures link reliability while eliminating time consumption associated with manual verification.
3Measurement precision
If comprehensive search methods are used to locate broken links, then link recovery accuracy is improved, but computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The link recovery process is segmented into distinct functional modules: keyword extraction from referring pages, sitemap querying, web page location detection, and redirect generation. Each module performs a specific task with optimized computational requirements, allowing comprehensive search methods to achieve high link recovery accuracy while managing computational resources through divided responsibilities.
Data Source
AI summary
Utilizing a computing device to automatically locate a link to a target web page whose link from a referring web page is broken. A computing device receives a request to access a link to a target web page from a referring web page. The computing device receives a notification indicating that the link to the target web page is broken. The computing device locates a new link to the target web page utilizing one or more keywords. The computing device provides access to the target web page.
