Cloud Browser Rendering for Low-Power Communication Terminals
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing communication terminals struggle with efficient web page rendering and display, particularly when using cloud browsers, due to limitations in processing capacity and network connectivity, leading to suboptimal user experience.
Innovation Solution
A cloud browser system that offloads web page rendering to a cloud-based image generation server, utilizing a virtual machine with a browser engine to process and transmit rendered images to the communication terminal for display, enhancing processing capabilities and user interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If web page rendering is performed locally on the communication terminal, then rendering speed can be fast, but the processing capacity and power consumption of the terminal increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the web page rendering function from the communication terminal and relocates it to a cloud-based server. The terminal only needs to send requests and receive rendered images, while the heavy rendering workload is performed remotely on the server, significantly reducing local power consumption while maintaining rendering capability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a cloud server as an intermediary between the user's rendering needs and the actual rendering execution. The server acts as a mediator that receives rendering requests from terminals, performs the computationally intensive rendering operations, and returns the rendered images to terminals, thereby distributing the workload
2Ease of operation
If web page rendering is performed on a cloud server, then local processing demands are reduced, but network dependency increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a copy of the web page content on the cloud server, which then renders this copied content and returns the rendered images to the terminal. This allows the terminal to access web pages through the server without requiring local rendering capabilities, simplifying terminal operations while the network dependency is managed through efficient request-response protocols
3Manufacturing precision
If cloud browser rendering is implemented, then rendering quality can be high, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a self-service architecture where the cloud server automatically handles web page rendering requests without requiring complex client-side rendering engines on terminals. The server independently performs rendering operations and returns results, simplifying the terminal system while maintaining high rendering quality through professional-grade server-side rendering capabilities
Data Source
AI summary
In a cloud browsing system including an image generation server, an image forming apparatus, and a user terminal, the image forming apparatus transmits address information about a web page to the image generation server, the image generation server generates a rendering image of a web page corresponding to the address information and provides the rendering image to the image forming apparatus, the image forming apparatus generates a web page that is based on the rendering image, and the user terminal accesses the generated web page.
