Local Server Intermediary for Remote Data Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of local devices face difficulties in performing cross-connection operations between different data storage areas due to the need for complex browser configurations or dedicated software installations, and existing solutions fail to enable seamless data transfer between local and remote storage areas.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that utilize a local server acting as an intermediary between the remote server and local resources, allowing data transfer between local and remote storage areas through a web browser, eliminating the need for complex configurations or additional software installations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If complex browser configuration is performed to enable cross-connection operations, then data transfer between local and remote storage areas becomes possible, but user ease of operation deteriorates due to requiring advanced technical expertise
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary component that mediates between the local device and remote storage areas. The server handles the complex configuration and connection management, while users interact through a simple web browser interface. This intermediary absorbs the technical complexity, allowing users to perform cross-connection operations without needing advanced technical expertise.
2Adaptability or versatility
If dedicated software component is installed on local device to enable cross-connection operations, then data transfer between storage areas becomes possible, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the traditional approach of installing dedicated software components (mechanical/system-level modification) with a web-based solution using standard HTTP protocols and browser technology. Instead of modifying the local device with specialized software, the solution uses universal web browsing capabilities to achieve the same cross-connection functionality, thereby reducing device complexity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If two different user interfaces are used for remote and local access, then access to different data storage areas is enabled, but operational efficiency deteriorates due to requiring interface switching
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the separate remote access and local access interfaces into a single unified web browser interface. The server consolidates both access types and presents them through a common user interface, eliminating the need for users to switch between different interfaces. This unified interface maintains the ability to access both remote and local storage areas while improving operational efficiency.

AI summary
The invention relates to a method 30 for managing an access from a remote device to data and/or at least one resource accessible from a local device. The local device comprises a browser. The remote device hosts a server, as a remote server. The method comprises a remote server connecting step in which the browser sends to the remote server a request 38 for loading data. According to the invention, the remote server sends 310, through the browser, to a local server a request for connecting a local server, as response to the request for loading data, and the local server sends 316 data to the remote server, the local server being connected from the remote server to data storing means and/or at least one resource accessible from the local device. The invention relates also to a corresponding system comprising a token and a terminal coupled with the token.
