Local Application Tool for Browser Information Acquisition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Browser plug-in technology for acquiring local information is prone to compatibility issues between browsers and plug-ins, leading to instability and increased website maintenance difficulties.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that utilize a local application tool to acquire local information by sending a request through a script in a browser, monitoring and using a random number to establish correspondence with the network apparatus, allowing the local application tool to acquire and send local information without requiring browser compatibility with the plug-in.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If browser plug-in technology is used to acquire local information, then local information can be acquired, but compatibility issues between browsers and plug-ins cause browser instability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a local application tool as an intermediary component between the browser and the information acquisition process. Instead of the browser directly invoking plug-ins, the browser sends a first request for information acquisition to the local application tool through a script. The local application tool then acquires the local information and returns it through the script, eliminating direct browser-plug-in interactions and their associated compatibility issues.
2Ease of manufacture
If browser plug-in technology is used to acquire local information, then local information can be acquired, but website maintenance difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal interface layer through the local application tool that can serve multiple websites and browsers uniformly. The local application tool implements a standardized protocol for receiving first requests for information acquisition and returning results, allowing a single implementation to work across different websites without requiring each website to adapt to different browser plug-in technologies.
3Reliability
If browser plug-in technology is used, then local information acquisition is enabled, but compatibility problems cause acquisition failure
Solution Approach 1:
The local application tool serves as a mediator that receives standardized requests from the browser through scripts and processes them independently of browser-specific plug-in interfaces. This intermediary layer ensures reliable information acquisition by eliminating direct dependencies on browser-plug-in compatibility, as the local application tool handles the acquisition process through a unified interface.

AI summary
The present application discloses methods, apparatuses, and systems for acquiring local information. An exemplary method may include sending a first request for information acquisition to a network apparatus through a script in a browser. The method may also include monitoring, through the local application tool, a random number, sent by the network apparatus, corresponding to the first request for information acquisition. Moreover, the method may include acquiring, through the local application tool, the first request for information acquisition corresponding to the random number stored in the network apparatus. Furthermore, the method may include acquiring, through the local application tool, local information corresponding to the first request for information acquisition, and sending, through the local application tool, the local information to the network apparatus.
