Solution Overview

Problem

The existing integration of flash and web apparatuses in network communications results in low co-operation efficiency due to restricted resource management and access limitations, as the flash apparatus relies on the web apparatus for accessing client resources.

Innovation Solution

Enabling direct communication and resource access between the flash and web apparatuses by having them call each other via the client, allowing both to operate at the same status and utilize their respective functions fully, thereby bypassing the need for web apparatus-mediated access requests.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the flash apparatus is embedded into the web apparatus, then the integration of flash and web functions is achieved, but the access efficiency between flash apparatus and client resources is reduced due to requiring web apparatus mediation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintegration capabilityVSAvoidaccess efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the client system into independent web apparatus and flash apparatus components, each capable of directly accessing client resources. This segmentation eliminates the need for one apparatus to mediate the other's resource access, thereby improving access efficiency while maintaining integration through the client environment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces the client as an intermediary platform that enables both web and flash apparatus to operate independently yet cooperatively. The client provides the necessary resource management and access mechanisms that allow both apparatus types to function without requiring one to be embedded within the other, thus resolving the efficiency loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If the flash apparatus accesses client resources through web apparatus mediation, then resource management restrictions are maintained, but the co-operation efficiency between flash and web apparatus is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource management securityVSAvoidco-operation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent establishes equipotentiality by allowing both flash apparatus and web apparatus to access client resources through the same mechanism (direct client access via the client environment). This eliminates the hierarchical relationship where one apparatus must mediate the other's access, thereby improving co-operation efficiency while maintaining security through unified resource management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #12Equipotentiality

3Productivity

If web apparatus and flash apparatus operate as separate independent components, then access efficiency is improved, but the integration and coordination complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess efficiencyVSAvoidcoordination complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by designing a client environment that can accommodate and manage both web apparatus and flash apparatus using the same resource access mechanisms. This universal approach simplifies coordination by providing a unified interface and resource management system, thereby reducing the complexity that would otherwise arise from managing separate integration mechanisms.

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

AI summary

Embodiments of the present invention relate to network communications, and provide a method and a system enabling co-operating of a web apparatus and a flash apparatus. The method includes: a web apparatus sends an instruction of calling a flash apparatus to a client, where the instruction includes information of the flash apparatus to be called; after receiving the instruction, the client makes a flash control perform an operation based on information of the flash apparatus to be called in the instruction. The system includes a web apparatus, a flash apparatus and a client. The flash apparatus and the web apparatus are capable of calling each other and are at the same status in the client, thus respective functions can be fully utilized. The flash apparatus and the web apparatus are capable of accessing resources of the client directly, which improves the access efficiency.
