Solution Overview

Problem

Existing internet portal systems fail to effectively match websites with specific geographical addresses, leading to a lack of information availability for past activities and events at those locations, and do not allow easy communication of current activities to internet users interested in those areas.

Innovation Solution

A communication portal management system that assigns management authority of geographical address websites to website operators, allowing content uploads and storage in a database, and provides users with relevant content based on geographical address requests, while updating management authority as operators change locations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If a general portal system is used to host websites, then website operators can publish content on the internet, but the system cannot match websites to specific geographical addresses or grasp what contents the operators desire to publicize

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegeographical address informationVSAvoidportal system structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a geographical address management server as an intermediary between website operators and the portal system. This server receives geographical address information from operators, matches it with portal site data, and retrieves relevant contents. The intermediary resolves the contradiction by adding a dedicated component that handles geographical matching without requiring complete redesign of the existing portal system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If website operators move to new locations and update their geographical addresses, then current information can be provided, but information about past activities at previous locations is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewebsite operator location changeVSAvoidhistorical content information
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by maintaining a historical record of geographical addresses and their associated contents. When an operator moves to a new location, the system has already preserved the previous address information and its linked contents in the database. This allows the system to provide both current information from the new location and historical information from previous locations, resolving the contradiction between adaptability to location changes and preservation of historical information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Quantity of substance

If a portal system stores and manages content for multiple geographical addresses, then comprehensive information can be provided, but the complexity of managing and matching content to addresses increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegeographical information contentVSAvoidcontent management system
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the content management function into distinct modules: a geographical address management server that handles address information and matching, a portal server that stores and manages contents, and a client that retrieves information. This segmentation allows the system to manage large quantities of geographical content by dividing responsibilities across multiple components, reducing the complexity burden on any single system element while maintaining comprehensive information management capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A communication portal management system is provided. The communication portal management system includes a geographical address website management unit assigning a management authority of a geographical address website to at least one website operator, a server communication unit receiving a contents upload request from at least one website operator terminal, and a server management unit storing contents information corresponding to the contents upload request in a database unit. The geographical address website corresponds to a geographical address of the at least one website operator. The contents information and the geographical address website are matched in response to the contents upload request. Each of the at least one website operator terminal corresponds to each of the at least one website operator, respectively and communicates with a communication portal server to upload contents according to a predetermined conditions of the management authority. At least one user terminal transmits a contents transmit request input from a user to the communication portal server and receives contents in response to the contents transmit request from a plurality of contents uploaded in the communication portal server.
