Web Browser Data Transmission Control for Mobile Networks
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional web browser mechanisms for managing data storage and network connection status do not adequately control data transmission based on communication type and user preferences, leading to unintended data transmission during mobile communications with usage-based rates or upper limits.
Innovation Solution
An information processing terminal with a web browser that includes a setting unit to limit data transmission to a web server and a determination unit to assess network connection status, allowing for controlled data transmission even when online, based on user-defined conditions such as communication type, access points, and battery level.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If data is automatically transmitted to the web server when the information processing terminal is online, then data synchronization is achieved, but excessive data transmission occurs during mobile communications with usage-based rates or upper limits
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the data transmission control based on the communication type. When mobile communications with usage-based rates or upper limits are detected, the automatic transmission is restricted. When other communication types are used, normal automatic transmission occurs. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction by making the transmission behavior flexible rather than fixed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the transmission parameter (automatic transmission enable/disable) based on the communication type parameter. By detecting the communication type and changing the transmission behavior accordingly, the system achieves both data synchronization when appropriate and cost control when necessary.
2Loss of energy
If data transmission is controlled based on communication type, then communication cost is reduced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects the communication type and adjusts transmission behavior without requiring user intervention. The web browser itself performs the detection and control, making the system self-regulating rather than requiring external management, thus limiting the increase in complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from the communication status detection to automatically adjust transmission behavior. The detection result feeds back into the transmission control logic, creating a closed-loop system that manages complexity through automated feedback rather than complex manual controls.
3Reliability
If automatic data transmission is performed without considering communication type, then data synchronization is maintained, but user preferences and communication cost constraints are not respected
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects communication types and adjusts transmission behavior without requiring users to manually configure settings. This self-service approach maintains ease of operation while still respecting user preferences by inferring them from communication cost patterns.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from communication type detection to automatically adjust transmission behavior in line with what would be user preferences. By monitoring communication patterns and adjusting accordingly, the system respects implicit user preferences without requiring explicit configuration.

AI summary
An information processing terminal on which a web browser operates includes a setting unit configured to set a limitation condition for limiting transmission of local storage data to a web server providing a web application, and a determination unit configured to determine a value indicating a status of network connection of the information processing terminal in accordance with the set limitation condition when the status of the network connection of the information processing terminal is online. Even when the status of the network connection of the information processing terminal is online, the transmission of the local storage data to the web server from the web application is limited in accordance with the determined value.
