Solution Overview

Problem

Current software browser applications lack efficient management of network resources and services, particularly in rendering and processing network-based service requests, which limits user interaction and access to various online services.

Innovation Solution

The software browser application includes an input interface component for processing user input and determining network-based service requests, and an information management component for characterizing and processing these requests, enabling users to select and interact with network-based services such as storage and social networking.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If software browser applications only perform basic content rendering, then device complexity is reduced, but user access to network services and interaction capabilities are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser access to network servicesVSAvoidsoftware browser application complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple functions (content rendering, service request processing, resource management) into a single software browser application. The application merges web browsing capabilities with network service access, allowing users to interact with both content and services through one integrated interface rather than requiring separate applications for each function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The software browser application is designed to perform multiple functions: rendering web content, processing network-based service requests, managing resources, and providing user interfaces for various online services. This multi-functional design allows a single application to serve as both a content viewer and a service access point, improving versatility without requiring multiple specialized applications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Productivity

If software browser applications manually process service requests, then ease of operation is improved, but productivity and efficiency are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice request processing efficiencyVSAvoiduser interaction complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically characterizing service requests and identifying required resources before user submission. The software browser application pre-processes service requests, determines what resources are needed, and prepares the necessary information, reducing the manual work users would otherwise need to perform and improving processing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The software browser application autonomously manages service request processing by automatically characterizing requests, identifying resources, and coordinating with network services. The system serves itself by handling the complex processing tasks without requiring user intervention, while still providing an easy-to-use interface for users to initiate and monitor their service requests.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If network resources are not systematically managed, then device complexity is reduced, but information organization and service delivery quality deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice request processingVSAvoidresource management system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments resource management into distinct functional components: an information management component for characterizing service requests, a resource identification component for determining required resources, and a coordination component for managing network interactions. This segmentation organizes the complex management tasks into manageable, specialized modules that work together systematically to improve reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The software browser application acts as an intermediary between users and network services, systematically managing resources in between. It characterizes service requests, identifies required resources, and coordinates resource allocation, serving as a mediator that organizes and manages the interaction between user requests and network service delivery, ensuring reliable processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Systems, methods and interfaces for the selective management of information collected by a software browser application are provided. The software browser application obtains content from a network resource, such as a Web page. The software browser application presents, among other controls, a graphical icon that is representative of a command to initiate a network-based service, such as network-based storage. The software browser application can also group similar content to provide for collective network service commands.
