Solution Overview

Problem

Existing web browser technologies limit user efficiency in accessing network resources, such as videos, as users must keep web pages open and switch focus multiple times to play videos, especially when dealing with multiple videos across multiple web pages, leading to reduced access efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for independently presenting network resources, which involves determining resources to be presented separately, obtaining their location information, and displaying identification in a resource list window, allowing users to view these resources without being restricted by the original web page's scrolling, enabling independent presentation and playback regardless of focus or browser state.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If network resources are presented within web pages using pre-programmed formats, then the resources can be displayed at certain locations in web pages, but the user access efficiency is reduced due to the need to keep web pages open and switch focus multiple times

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser access efficiencyVSAvoidtime to access and play video resources
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts network resources (such as videos) from their original web page contexts and presents them independently in a dedicated resource list window. This extraction allows users to access resources directly without needing to maintain or navigate back to the original web pages, thereby reducing the time lost to focus switching and improving overall access efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the presentation of network resources by creating a separate resource list window that lists resources independently from their source web pages. This segmentation enables users to manage and access resources in a dedicated interface, eliminating the need to switch focus between multiple web pages and thereby reducing access time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple web pages are opened to access multiple videos, then users can browse different resources, but the time required to find and play videos increases due to multiple focus switches

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to browse multiple resourcesVSAvoidtime to locate and play video among multiple pages
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple network resources from different web pages into a single unified resource list window. This consolidation allows users to access all resources in one location without needing to switch between multiple web pages, maintaining the ability to browse diverse resources while eliminating the time loss associated with focus switching.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Reliability

If users keep web pages open to access videos later, then videos can be played from original locations, but system resources are consumed and access efficiency is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to play video from original web pageVSAvoidefficiency for user to access network resources
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a copy of the network resource access interface by presenting resources in a separate resource list window that mirrors the functionality of the original web page locations. Users can play videos from this copied interface without needing to maintain the original web pages open, thereby preserving video playback capability while improving access efficiency and reducing system resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

A method is disclosed for presenting network resources on a computer having a browser. The method includes determining at least one network resource to be independently presented and obtaining network attribute information of the at least one network resource. The method also includes obtaining a resource list window for listing network resources that need to be presented independently using network resource as unit and displaying identification information of the at least one network resource in the resource list window. Further, the method includes, when a network resource corresponding to an entry of identification information in the resource list window needs to be independently presented, presenting the network resource independently using the network attribute information of the network resource.
