Content Eligibility Filtering for Cross-Device Browsing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current web browsing technologies do not effectively manage content eligibility across different computing devices, leading to inconsistent user experiences and unnecessary user interactions when switching devices.
Innovation Solution
A computing device determines the eligibility of content associated with content locators based on previous access history, network conditions, and user interactions, and presents only eligible content to the user, while filtering out ineligible content, using a web browser associated with the user account.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If content locators from previous computing devices are automatically imported and presented to users, then content accessibility and user experience consistency are improved, but unnecessary content may be displayed causing user confusion and increased interaction overhead
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary eligibility determination of content locators before presenting them to users. By pre-filtering content based on eligibility criteria (such as content type, user preferences, device capabilities), the system avoids presenting unsuitable content that would cause user confusion, thus resolving the contradiction between automatic content import benefits and the complexity of content management.
2Quantity of substance
If all content locators from previous devices are presented without filtering, then content quantity and accessibility are improved, but user interaction time increases due to unnecessary content
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and removes ineligible content locators from the complete content list before presentation to users. By identifying and excluding content that does not meet eligibility criteria (such as inappropriate content types or content incompatible with current device), the system reduces the quantity of presented content to only what is relevant, thereby decreasing user interaction time while maintaining accessibility to useful content.
3Reliability
If content eligibility is determined based on multiple criteria including network conditions and user interactions, then content relevance is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The eligibility determination system is segmented into multiple independent modules, each handling a specific criterion (e.g., network condition evaluation, user interaction analysis, content type validation). This modular segmentation allows the system to achieve high content relevance through multiple criteria while managing complexity by dividing the determination process into manageable, independent components that can be executed sequentially or in parallel.

AI summary
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium can include instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, are configured to cause a computing device to receive a first content locator and a second content locator, content associated with the first content locator being previously accessed by a previous computing device in association with a user account and content associated with the second content locator being previously accessed by the previous computing device in association with the user account; determine that the content associated with the first content locator is eligible for viewing on the current computing device; determine that the content associated with the second content locator is ineligible for viewing on the computing device; and present, using a web browser associated with the user account, content associated with the first content locator without presenting content associated with the second content locator.
