Solution Overview

Problem

Existing mobile Internet devices lack the capability to efficiently integrate a web server that can service HTTP requests without consuming system resources, and they do not support peer-to-peer networking for secure data sharing.

Innovation Solution

A mobile Internet device with an integrated web server that operates within the operating system, allowing for HTTP request servicing without resource competition, and enabling peer-to-peer networking by configuring multiple devices as a network, enhancing data security through local hosting of personal information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a web server is integrated into the mobile Internet device operating system, then the device can service HTTP requests and function as a web server, but system resources are consumed and resource competition occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveweb server capabilityVSAvoidsystem resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The web server is implemented as a lightweight component within the existing operating system infrastructure, utilizing already-allocated system resources rather than requiring dedicated resource pools. The server serves itself by leveraging the OS's existing network stack, file system, and process management capabilities, thereby minimizing additional resource consumption while maintaining full web server functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If multiple mobile Internet devices are configured as a peer-to-peer network, then data security is enhanced through local hosting, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata securityVSAvoidnetwork configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Each mobile Internet device in the peer-to-peer network is equipped with both web server capabilities and web browser capabilities, allowing devices to universally function as both clients and servers. This multi-functionality simplifies network configuration as devices can autonomously establish connections without requiring dedicated server or client roles, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining enhanced data security through local hosting.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
