Dynamic Script Library Optimization via Usage Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Large script libraries downloaded by client devices can lead to slowed network resource loading, increased memory usage, and unnecessary network traffic due to inclusion of unused resources, as different domains may not require the same resources.
Innovation Solution
A cloud-based proxy service dynamically optimizes script libraries by transmitting an instrumented version to client devices, collecting usage feedback, and generating optimized versions by removing unused portions, thereby reducing network usage and memory footprint.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a complete script library is downloaded to ensure all resources are available, then resource availability is improved, but network usage and memory footprint increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the necessary portions of the script library that are actually used by the client device. By analyzing usage patterns and identifying which resources are accessed, the system extracts and transmits only those specific components rather than the complete library, thereby reducing network usage while maintaining resource availability for needed functions
Solution Approach 2:
The script library is segmented into individual resources or modules. Instead of transmitting the entire library as a single unit, the system divides it into discrete components and selectively transmits only the segments that are required by the client device, reducing overall network bandwidth consumption
2Reliability
If a complete script library is downloaded to ensure all resources are available, then resource availability is improved, but memory usage increases
Solution Approach 1:
The unnecessary resources are extracted and removed from the script library before transmission to the client device. By eliminating unused components, the memory footprint required to store and process the library is significantly reduced while retaining all necessary resources for proper functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The library is segmented into used and unused portions. Only the segments that are actually required by the client application are retained in memory, allowing the system to maintain resource availability for needed functions while minimizing memory consumption by excluding extraneous segments
3Reliability
If unused resources are included in the script library, then resource availability is improved, but network traffic increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs feedback mechanisms to monitor and analyze which resources are actually accessed by the client device. Based on this usage feedback, the system identifies and excludes unused resources from the transmitted library, creating an optimized version that minimizes network traffic while ensuring all accessed resources are available
Solution Approach 2:
Unused resources are identified through usage analysis and extracted from the library before transmission. This extraction process removes unnecessary data that would otherwise consume network bandwidth, reducing overall network traffic while maintaining availability of all required resources
Data Source
AI summary
A method and system for dynamically optimizing a script library are described. A request for a script library is received from a set of client devices. An instrumented version of the script library is transmitted to at least one of the set of client devices. The instrumented version of the script library includes code for tracing execution of the script library. Responsive to execution of the instrumented version of the script library at each one of the at least one of client devices, script library usage feedback indicative of usage of the script library at these client devices is received. An optimized version of the script library, generated based on the script library usage feedback by removing portions of the script library that are unused by the subset of client devices, is transmitted to the client device instead of the script library in response to a second request.
