Link Tree Creation Device for Web Site Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing link tree creation technologies result in overly complex and difficult-to-view link structures when attempting to represent links across multiple Web sites, leading to ineffective information presentation.
Innovation Solution
A link tree creation device that separates link trees based on predetermined conditions, such as site distinctions and hierarchy, using a computer-readable medium with a program that searches links, determines additional trees, and organizes them for easier visualization, including options for displaying URLs and images.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If a link tree is created by tracing links across multiple Web sites, then comprehensive link information is obtained, but the link tree becomes overly complex and difficult to view
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the link tree creation process into separate operations for each Web site. Instead of creating one comprehensive link tree that mixes links from multiple sites, the system creates individual link trees for each site separately. This is achieved by comparing the root URL of each link tree with the current Web site URL, and only adding links that belong to the same site. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by maintaining comprehensive link information within each site while avoiding the complexity that would arise from mixing multiple sites in a single tree.
2Loss of information
If a single link tree is created to show all links, then complete link structure is represented, but usability and clarity are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the link tree representation by creating separate link trees for each Web site. The system determines whether to add a link to an existing link tree or create a new one by comparing URLs, ensuring that each link tree contains only links from its corresponding site. This segmentation preserves complete link structure information within each site while significantly improving usability by preventing the confusion that would result from mixing links from different sites in a single tree.
3Adaptability or versatility
If external sites are included in the link tree, then more link options are available, but the link tree becomes endlessly large and loses effectiveness
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses segmentation to separate link trees by Web site boundaries. When a link is encountered, the system compares its root URL with the current site's URL to determine whether to include it in the current link tree or start a new one. This approach maintains adaptability by including all relevant links from the current site while preventing the link tree from becoming endlessly large by excluding links from external sites. Each link tree remains focused and manageable in size.

AI summary
A computer-readable medium having a link tree creation program stored thereon and readable by a computer, the link tree creation program, when executed by the computer, causes the computer to create a link tree in relation to links pertaining to Web pages receivable via a network. The link tree creation program causes a computer to function as a link search unit that searches a link from a file of a specified Web page, a link list preparation unit that adds the searched link to a list of a link tree, which root indicating a link to the specified Web page, a tree addition determination unit that compares the searched link with the root of the link tree and determines whether creating an additional link tree rooted from the searched link, and a tree creation unit that creates an additional link tree from a determination of the tree addition determination unit.
