Solution Overview

Problem

Existing content sharing technologies are inefficient due to distractions from redundant information such as ads and irrelevant content, which hinder users' ability to focus on the shared content.

Innovation Solution

A method, server, and client system that processes content by removing redundant information and generating an accessible address for the destination website, allowing users to share content in a cleaner and more focused format across different devices and platforms.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If users share content through existing channels (e-mail, social networking, IM tools), then content can be transmitted to destination users, but redundant information (advertising, recommendations, pop news) distracts users from viewing the shared content

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveloss of focused contentVSAvoidredundant information distraction
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes redundant information elements (advertising, recommendations, pop news) from the shared web page content, keeping only the essential content that users want to share. This is achieved through content processing that identifies and filters out distracting elements before presenting the cleaned content to users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the web page content into different components (essential content vs. redundant information) and processes them separately. By dividing the content structure, the system can selectively retain useful information while removing distracting elements, thereby reducing information loss and distraction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If users send URL of destination website to share content, then destination users can view content by opening the website, but users are easily distracted by redundant information on the original website

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of content sharingVSAvoidfocus on shared content
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a content processing server as an intermediary between the source website and the destination user. This mediator processes the shared content by removing redundant information and generating a cleaned version, ensuring that destination users receive focused content without distractions while maintaining ease of sharing through URL-based transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If web content contains variety of redundant information (advertising, recommendations, pop news), then website can provide comprehensive services, but users are easily distracted from viewing the shared content

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomprehensive website servicesVSAvoidefficiency of viewing shared content
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by treating different parts of the web page content differently. Essential content areas are preserved and optimized for sharing, while redundant information areas (advertising, recommendations) are identified and removed. This selective processing maintains the versatility of website services while improving content viewing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a method, a server, a client, and a system for sharing content. The method includes: obtaining sharing request submitted by the client, the sharing request including a destination website to be shared; obtaining sharing content of the destination website according to the destination website; processing the content of the destination website, and generating an accessible address corresponding to the content of the destination website; and sending the accessible address corresponding to the content of the destination website to the client, such that the client replaces the destination website by using the accessible address and sends a sharing message including the accessible address. The method, the server, the client, and the system can be directed to increase efficiency of visiting sharing content.
