Web Browser Resource Extraction to Independent Windows
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional web browser technologies limit user interaction with web page resources such as video and audio by confining them within the web page, restricting operations and visibility, especially for background audio resources which lack a player and cannot be independently managed.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that access and identify specific web page resources, presenting them in an independent window separate from the original web page, allowing for enhanced user control and visibility, including video and audio resources which can be played or displayed independently.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If web page resources are displayed at fixed positions within the web page, then the resources are integrated with the web page content, but the user cannot perform personal operations and has limited control over the resources
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the web page resource display from the original web page by extracting specific resources (video, audio, images) and presenting them in separate independent windows. This allows users to control each resource independently while maintaining the integrity of the original web page structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts specific resources from the web page context and removes them from their fixed positions within the web page. These extracted resources are then displayed in independent windows, enabling users to perform personal operations such as pausing, playing, or adjusting resources without affecting the original web page.
2Loss of information
If background audio resources are embedded in the web page without an audio player, then the web page structure remains simple, but the user cannot see information about or perform operations on the audio resources
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts background audio resources from the web page and presents them in independent windows with full audio player functionality. This extraction allows users to see audio resource information and perform operations while keeping the original web page structure unchanged.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary independent window that acts as a mediator between the web page and the audio resource. This window provides the audio player interface and information display, enabling user interaction without adding complexity to the original web page structure.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple web pages are displayed simultaneously, then the user can access multiple resources, but the resources cannot be independently managed and controlled
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments resources from their respective web pages and places them in independent windows. Each resource can be controlled independently through its own window, allowing users to manage multiple resources from different web pages simultaneously without interference.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a two-dimensional web page display to a multi-dimensional window-based display system. Resources are moved from the flat web page structure to independent windows that can be positioned and managed in a more flexible spatial arrangement, enabling better control and visibility.
Data Source
AI summary
A method is disclosed for presenting specific resources on a computer having a web browser. The method includes accessing by the web browser a specific resource related to an original web page from a web server, obtaining attribute information of the specific resource, and identifying the specific resource contained in the original web page based on the obtained attribute information of the specific resource. Further, the method includes obtaining an independent window being independent from at least a web page window displaying the original web page, and presenting the identified specific resource in the independent window.
