Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods fail to accurately identify essential resources for webpage rendering, leading to inefficient resource fetching that delays critical content display and creates a frustrating user experience, particularly on slower networks or devices with limited processing power.

Innovation Solution

A system that selectively delays the loading of resources to determine their impact on significant events, allowing for precise identification of blocking resources and generating tailored hints to prioritize critical resources for preloading, while deprioritizing non-essential ones.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If all resources are fetched simultaneously, then complete webpage content is available, but bandwidth is wasted and load times increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveresources fetchedVSAvoidbandwidth usage

Core Design Contradiction:

Quantity of substanceVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and identifies essential resources (those blocking significant events) from the complete resource set, separating them from non-essential resources. This allows the browser to fetch only the critical subset of resources needed for key rendering events, eliminating wasted bandwidth on non-blocking resources while ensuring complete essential content is available.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary analysis to identify which resources block significant events before the actual page load. By determining the essential resource set in advance through event blocking analysis, the browser can prioritize and pre-fetch only these critical resources, improving load performance without fetching unnecessary additional content.

3Quantity of substance

If non-essential resources are loaded with essential resources, then all content is available, but responsiveness decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveresources loadedVSAvoidpage responsiveness

Core Design Contradiction:

Quantity of substanceVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

4Productivity

If resources are prioritized without accurate identification, then load sequence is optimized, but identification precision is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveresource loading efficiencyVSAvoidresource essentiality identification

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a dynamic analysis approach where the system tests different resource loading scenarios and observes their impact on significant event timing. By dynamically adjusting resource priority assignments based on observed event blocking behavior, the system accurately identifies which resources are truly essential for each significant event, enabling precise prioritization that improves loading efficiency without sacrificing identification accuracy.
