Solution Overview

Problem

Existing information browsing systems face challenges with large data sizes, requiring extended communication times and inability to browse data without installed application software, and concerns about data revisions being mismatched during browsing.

Innovation Solution

An information browsing system that reduces data volume through data-reduced information storage and issues browsing tickets with indexes specifying product information and revisions, allowing users to browse data-reduced information without the original application software, ensuring secure and efficient access.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If product information is distributed in original format, then complete information is provided, but communication time increases and data size becomes large

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidcommunication time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a data-reduced copy of the original product information that preserves essential browsing capabilities while significantly reducing data size. This copy can be transmitted and browsed without requiring the original application software, thus reducing communication time while maintaining information accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts only the necessary information elements needed for browsing from the complete product information. By separating essential browsing data from the full dataset, the system reduces communication time while ensuring that all critical information remains accessible for browsing purposes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Ease of operation

If original application software is required to browse data, then complete browsing functionality is available, but device compatibility decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebrowsing functionalityVSAvoiddevice compatibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal browsing format that can be accessed across different devices and platforms without requiring the original application software. The data-reduced information is designed to be platform-independent, allowing any device with basic browsing capabilities to access the product information, thus improving device compatibility while maintaining browsing functionality.

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

3Reliability

If authentication is implemented to ensure security, then data security is improved, but browsing efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata securityVSAvoidbrowsing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements authentication in advance by issuing browsing tickets before data access. This preliminary authentication step verifies user permissions upfront, allowing subsequent browsing operations to proceed efficiently without repeated security checks. The browsing ticket contains pre-validated access rights, thus maintaining security while improving browsing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

4Measurement precision

If data revision control is implemented, then data accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a browsing ticket as an intermediary that carries revision identification information. This ticket mediates between the data storage system and the browsing user, containing the necessary revision control data without requiring complex revision management systems on the browsing device. The browsing ticket specifies which revision of the product information can be accessed, ensuring data accuracy while keeping the browsing system simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

An information browsing system includes a data-reduced-information storage unit that stores therein data-reduced information obtained by reducing data volume of product information, an accepting unit that accepts a presentation of a browsing ticket from a browsing person, and a browsing processing unit which, in the case that the browsing ticket has been accepted by the accepting unit, allows the browsing person to browse the data-reduced information corresponding to the product information specified by the browsing ticket.
