Hybrid Website Generation via Streaming Data Extraction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current websites face inefficiencies in updating information, particularly for local content, as they are often siloed and require users to navigate multiple platforms, making it difficult to maintain up-to-date and relevant data, especially for local directories with constantly changing information.
Innovation Solution
An automated method and system for multi-source website hybridization using streaming data, where a server extracts and combines local website content with dynamic data streams to generate a hybrid website on a client device, integrating visual elements and navigation links, allowing for real-time updates while maintaining the original website's appearance and control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If information is constantly changing and locked in the heads of persons, then information relevance is improved, but information accessibility and update efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary system that automatically extracts information from multiple sources (including human expertise) and publishes it to websites. This mediator handles the complex task of information gathering, verification, and publication, making the information flow efficient while preserving the expertise of individual contributors without requiring them to manually update websites.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables websites to automatically update themselves by pulling information from configured data sources. The websites serve themselves by automatically extracting, processing, and displaying relevant information without requiring manual intervention from administrators, thus maintaining information freshness while reducing update difficulty.
2Adaptability or versatility
If platforms are more readily modified, then adaptability is improved, but control over information and location management deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the information management system into distinct components: data extraction modules, processing modules, and publication modules. Each component handles specific tasks independently, allowing the system to be flexible and adaptable while maintaining clear control over information flow. Website administrators can configure which data sources to use and how information should be displayed without managing the entire complex system.
3Loss of information
If multiple separate websites are used for local information, then information completeness is improved, but user navigation and information accessibility deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple information sources and websites into a unified hybrid website that automatically aggregates and displays information from all configured sources. Users access a single consolidated website that presents complete local information in one place, eliminating the need to navigate multiple separate websites while maintaining information completeness from all original sources.
4Loss of information
If website update rate is increased, then information freshness is improved, but resource requirements and system complexity deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements periodic automated extraction and updating of information from data sources. Instead of continuous manual updates, the system periodically automatically retrieves new information, processes it, and publishes updates to websites. This periodic automated action maintains information currency while reducing system complexity compared to continuous manual management.
Data Source
AI summary
A method of automated multi-source website hybridization using streaming data, and performed by first server, includes extracting, from a communication received from a remote device, an identifier of the remote device and at least a portion of a website including a first display generation element, a second display generation element and at least a reference link identifying the first server, each configuring a remote device to provide to a user a user-navigable display combining a visual element and a user-selectable navigation link, generating a first location descriptor, retrieving at least a data stream using the first location descriptor, and remotely generating a hybrid website on the remote device by creating at least a modified second display generation element configuring the remote device to display a second user-navigable display combining the a first user-navigable display with a data stream received from the first server, combined with the first display generation element.
