Automated Interactive HTML Video Generation for Website Tasks

Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems require users to navigate multiple web pages to perform tasks, leading to inefficient use of processing, memory, and network resources, and result in prolonged loading and buffering times.

Innovation Solution

A system that generates dynamic and interactive videos based on HTML code, allowing users to perform tasks efficiently by interacting with embedded HTML links and buttons within the video, reducing the need to load and buffer web pages.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users navigate multiple web pages to perform tasks, then users can access information and perform tasks on the website, but processing, memory, and network resources are consumed significantly and loading/buffering times are prolonged

Engineering Contradiction:

ImproveUser task completionVSAvoidProcessing, memory, and network resource consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a video copy of the website's HTML pages that users can watch instead of navigating through the actual website. This video copy contains embedded HTML code that allows users to interact with the content without requiring them to load and buffer multiple web pages, thereby reducing processing, memory, and network resource consumption while maintaining ease of operation for task completion

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The system generates a video in advance that pre-plays through the necessary HTML pages and sections users will need to access. By preparing and storing this video copy beforehand, the system eliminates the need for users to repeatedly navigate through and load multiple web pages when they need to perform tasks, thus reducing real-time resource consumption

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If users manually investigate and explore the website to perform tasks, then users can find the required information, but the process is time-consuming and wastes processing, memory, and network resources for caching, buffering, and loading

Engineering Contradiction:

ImproveTask completion speedVSAvoidTime for caching, buffering, and loading

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a video copy of the website's HTML pages that users can watch instead of navigating through the actual website. This video copy contains embedded HTML code that allows users to interact with the content without requiring them to load and buffer multiple web pages, thereby reducing processing, memory, and network resource consumption while maintaining ease of operation for task completion

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

By preparing and storing this video copy beforehand, the system eliminates the need for users to repeatedly navigate through and load multiple web pages when they need to perform tasks, thus reducing real-time resource consumption

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

3Loss of energy

If the system generates videos as a series of HTML pages, then processing, memory, and network resource requirements are reduced and loading/buffering times decrease, but the video format must be unconventional and interactive

Engineering Contradiction:

ImproveProcessing, memory, and network resource consumptionVSAvoidVideo format complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of energyVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses HTML code as a universal format that serves multiple functions: it provides the visual content for the video, enables interactivity through embedded links and buttons, and allows the video to be played in standard video players. This multi-functionality reduces the need for complex specialized formats while maintaining low resource requirements and interactivity

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses an intermediary layer of HTML code embedding within the video structure. This intermediary allows the video to maintain standard video playback capabilities while incorporating interactive website functionality. The HTML code acts as a mediator between the video format and the interactive elements, enabling resource-efficient delivery without sacrificing functionality

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A system for generating a video based on historical visits to a website is disclosed. The system determines that a first user wants to perform a first task on the website. In response, the system detects a navigation path that is being traversed thought the website and associates the navigation path with the first task. The system generates a first video that comprises one or more video scenes of visited sections. The system detects that a second user wants to perform the first task on the website. In response, the system fetches a code portion associated with the sections, generates one or more video scenes based on the fetched code portions, and generates a second video that comprises the one or more video scenes. The system displays the generated video on the website, where the second video shows the navigation path to perform the first task on the website.
