Browser Engine Code Optimization for Rendering Speed
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Web-based applications face performance inconsistencies due to varying rendering capabilities across different browser versions and platforms, leading to differing times spent in rendering the same application.
Innovation Solution
A web request response system that includes a browser identification engine, code identification engine, and code optimization engine, which modifies code based on browser-specific rules to optimize rendering speed by converting original code into a more efficiently renderable format tailored for specific browsers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the same web application code is provided to all browsers, then development is simplified and consistency is maintained, but rendering performance varies across different browser versions and platforms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing different versions of web application code tailored to specific browser types, versions, and platforms. Instead of using a single universal codebase, the system identifies the requesting browser's characteristics and serves optimized code variants that are specifically adapted to that browser's rendering capabilities, thereby achieving consistent performance across diverse environments while maintaining simplified development through automated code selection
2Speed
If code is optimized for each specific browser version, then rendering speed is improved, but system complexity increases due to multiple code versions and browser identification requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-segmenting web application code into multiple versions during the development phase, each optimized for specific browser characteristics. The system prepares browser identification rules and code variant mappings in advance, so that when a request arrives, the appropriate code version can be quickly selected and delivered without requiring real-time code generation or complex runtime optimization processes
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary component that acts as a bridge between the web application and various browsers. This intermediary identifies browser characteristics, selects appropriate code versions, and manages the delivery of optimized code. By placing this intermediary layer, the system achieves fast rendering for each browser without requiring direct complex interactions between developers and multiple browser versions, thus managing system complexity through a dedicated mediation mechanism
