Solution Overview

Problem

Mobile terminal browsers fail to adaptively adjust network parameters in response to changing network environments, leading to decreased data efficiency and user experience, especially during transitions between 2G and 3G networks.

Innovation Solution

A method is introduced to set upper and lower threshold values for downloading speed, calculate the current average downloading speed, and dynamically adjust network parameters such as downloading priority, timing interval, and number of tasks, to optimize performance based on the network conditions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If network parameters are configured statically when starting the browser, then the browser can operate with simple initial settings, but the browser cannot adapt to changing network environments leading to decreased downloading efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedownloading efficiencyVSAvoidadaptability to network environment changes

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic adjustment of network parameters by continuously monitoring downloading speed and automatically modifying parameters such as image downloading priority, number of simultaneous tasks, and timing intervals based on current network conditions, allowing the browser to adapt to changing network environments in real-time

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system establishes a feedback mechanism that monitors downloading speed and uses this information to automatically adjust network parameters. The browser reads current downloading speed, compares it with threshold values, and modifies parameters accordingly, creating a closed-loop control system that optimizes performance based on actual network conditions

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

2Ease of operation

If network parameters are manually modified by the user, then the user can customize settings for different preferences, but the complexity of operation increases and user experience deteriorates during network transitions

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveease of parameter adjustmentVSAvoidtime for manual parameter adjustment

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The browser performs self-service by automatically monitoring its own downloading speed and adjusting its network parameters without user intervention. The system reads current downloading speed, compares it with predefined thresholds, and modifies parameters such as image priority and task numbers autonomously, freeing the user from manual configuration tasks

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

3Stability of the object's composition

If the browser uses fixed network parameters across all network environments, then the configuration is simple and stable, but the downloading efficiency sharply decreases when network conditions change radically

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvestability of network parametersVSAvoiddownloading efficiency

Core Design Contradiction:

Stability of the object's compositionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the static network parameter configuration into a dynamic system that automatically adjusts parameters based on real-time downloading speed monitoring. The browser maintains stability through systematic adjustment rather than fixed values, adapting parameters such as image downloading priority and task concurrency to current network conditions while preserving overall system stability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

4Adaptability or versatility

If the browser requires manual switching between 2G and 3G networks, then the network transition control is simple, but the user experience is affected and time is lost during manual switching

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenetwork switching capabilityVSAvoidease of network switching

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The browser performs automatic network adaptation by monitoring downloading speed and inferring network conditions, then adjusting its parameters accordingly without requiring user awareness or manual network switching. The system serves itself by automatically adapting to network transitions between 2G and 3G based on performance metrics rather than user input

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

The disclosure discloses a method for adjusting a mobile terminal browser, which comprises setting an upper threshold value and a lower threshold value of a downloading speed for a mobile terminal browser. The method further comprises: calculating a current average downloading speed of the mobile terminal browser; comparing the current average downloading speed with the upper threshold value and the lower threshold value of the downloading speed; resetting network parameters of the mobile terminal browser when the current average downloading speed is less than the lower threshold value of the downloading speed or greater than the upper threshold value of the downloading speed. The disclosure also discloses a mobile terminal. The disclosure optimizes the network parameters of the mobile terminal browser according to the current network environment, and simultaneously increases downloading efficiency and stability of the mobile terminal browser, thereby avoiding the process of manually setting the relative network parameters of the browser by a mobile terminal user according to different network environments, so that the browser is more humanized and user experience is greatly improved.
