Browser Plug-in for Seamless Web Page Transfer to Mobile
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional information transmission methods are inconvenient for users due to complex operations, failing to meet the requirements for seamless information exchange between devices, such as transferring web page information from a PC to a mobile phone for use in an instant communication application.
Innovation Solution
A plug-in is installed in a browser that binds with a mobile terminal, allowing users to initiate information transmission by gravity sensing, voice control, or key pressing events, processing webpage information to create thumbnails, and sending them to the mobile terminal via communication connections like NFC or a server for display and sharing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional information transmission methods (USB flash drive, cloud server) are used, then information can be transmitted between devices, but the operation complexity increases and user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a plug-in as an intermediary component embedded in the browser that mediates between the web page and mobile terminal. This plug-in automatically captures web page information and facilitates transmission to the mobile device, eliminating the need for manual copying or cloud server operations. The plug-in acts as a bridge that simplifies the user's interaction while handling the complex transmission process in the background.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service information transmission by allowing the web page itself to provide transmission capabilities through the embedded plug-in. When a user shares a web page, the plug-in automatically extracts and transmits the information to the mobile terminal without requiring manual intervention for file selection, formatting, or transfer initiation. The web page essentially serves itself by incorporating the transmission functionality directly.
2Productivity
If manual information copying and uploading to cloud server is required, then information transmission can be achieved, but the time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The plug-in performs preliminary actions by pre-processing web page information into a transmittable format before the user initiates sharing. The information is captured, formatted, and prepared for transmission in advance, so when the user selects to share, the process is already complete or near-complete, eliminating the need for subsequent manual processing steps.
Solution Approach 2:
The plug-in extracts only the essential information from the web page that needs to be transmitted, separating it from the rest of the page content. This extraction process isolates the relevant data (such as text, images, or links) and prepares it for direct transmission to the mobile terminal, eliminating the time needed for manual selection and copying of information.
3Adaptability or versatility
If web page information is transmitted to mobile terminal, then information sharing convenience is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The plug-in is designed with multi-functionality, serving as both a web page enhancement tool and an information transmission mechanism. It performs multiple functions including web page rendering, information extraction, format conversion, and transmission initiation within a single component, reducing the need for separate systems for each function and thereby managing complexity while enhancing adaptability.
