Browser Plug-In Information Display Across Enterprise Systems
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems face inflexibility and high costs in displaying and aggregating product information stored across different enterprise systems, leading to poor display effects and potential safety hazards due to the need for custom interfaces and limited integration.
Innovation Solution
A browser plug-in that determines target information in an open page and retrieves associated information from multiple systems, allowing seamless integration and display without requiring a dedicated client, using operation events to trigger information retrieval and display.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If custom interfaces are developed to integrate multiple enterprise systems, then information aggregation capability is improved, but system complexity and development costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a browser plug-in as an intermediary component that sits between the user and multiple enterprise systems. This plug-in handles all integration logic, data retrieval, and display aggregation centrally, eliminating the need for complex custom interfaces in each system. The plug-in acts as a mediator that simplifies the overall system architecture while maintaining high adaptability across different information sources.
Solution Approach 2:
The browser plug-in is designed as a universal solution that can access and display information from multiple different enterprise systems through a single interface. Instead of creating specialized integration code for each system pair, the plug-in provides multi-functional capability to retrieve and display various types of product information (production, storage, test data) from any connected system, reducing overall system complexity.
2Ease of operation
If dedicated client software is deployed to access multiple systems, then information access convenience is improved, but deployment costs and maintenance burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The solution enables users to access integrated information directly through their existing web browsers without requiring installation or configuration of dedicated client software. The browser plug-in leverages the browser's native capabilities to connect to enterprise systems, allowing users to self-serve by simply opening the browser and accessing the plug-in interface, thereby eliminating deployment and maintenance costs associated with separate client applications.
Solution Approach 2:
The browser plug-in serves as a lightweight intermediary that bridges the gap between standard web browsers and enterprise information systems. By utilizing the browser as the access point rather than requiring dedicated clients, the solution reduces deployment complexity and costs while maintaining ease of information access across different systems.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate systems are used to store different product information, then data organization flexibility is improved, but information integration and display quality deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent maintains the beneficial segmentation of data across multiple specialized enterprise systems (production system, storage system, test system) while introducing a browser plug-in that segments the integration task into manageable components. The plug-in retrieves data from each system separately, processes it independently, and then integrates the results in a unified display, thereby preserving both data organization flexibility and integration quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The browser plug-in merges information from multiple separate enterprise systems into a single unified display interface. By combining data retrieval and presentation functions in one tool, the plug-in achieves high information integration quality while allowing the underlying systems to maintain their flexible, specialized data organization structures.
Data Source
AI summary
An information display method and apparatus, a terminal, and a storage medium. The information display method comprises the following steps, executed by a first plug-in of a browser: when a page with a first system is opened in the browser, in response to a first operation event, determining target information of the currently-opened page, and displaying information associated with the target information. The first system is one of at least two preset systems, and the associated information is sourced from a system of the at least two preset systems apart from the first system. The user can conveniently check detailed information of a target object at any time without needing to access multiple preset systems.
