Mini-Browser Schema Rendering for Secure Web Interaction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Small computing devices with wireless connectivity face limitations in display capabilities and bandwidth, leading to unsatisfactory experiences when attempting to securely interact with web-pages optimized for traditional desktop browsers, particularly in e-commerce transactions.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for network interaction between computing devices that includes a mini-browser on a client machine configured to access secure web-pages via a schema, ensuring input compliance with parameters, and utilizing HTTPS for secure connections, allowing rendering of interactive content on devices with limited display capabilities while maintaining security.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If web-pages are optimized for traditional desktop browsers, then security and interactivity are improved, but compatibility with small devices is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary that receives web-page requests from wireless client machines, renders the web-pages with interactive content (such as HTML forms with input fields), and transmits the rendered content to the clients. This intermediary rendering approach allows desktop-optimized web-pages with full security and interactivity features to be accessed on small devices without requiring the pages to be specifically optimized for those devices.
2Volume of moving object
If display size is reduced for portability, then device portability is improved, but display capability is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The system allows wireless client machines with limited display capabilities to access and interact with full-featured web-pages by having the server perform the rendering work. The client device serves itself by transmitting requests and receiving rendered content, while the heavy lifting of rendering complex interactive content is performed by the server, enabling small devices to effectively access desktop-optimized content.
3Volume of moving object
If wireless bandwidth is reduced for portability, then device portability is improved, but data transmission capability is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The server performs preliminary rendering of web-pages with interactive content before transmission to wireless clients. By pre-rendering the complete web-page including all interactive elements in the appropriate format, the system reduces the amount of data that needs to be transmitted over the limited wireless bandwidth, as the client receives ready-to-display content rather than raw data requiring local processing.

AI summary
The present specification provides, amongst other things, a method and system for network interaction between computing devices. In one embodiment a wireless client machine is provided that includes a mini web-browser that is configured to access a secure web-page from a web-server. The secure web-page includes an interactive form. The wireless client machine is also configured to access a schema that corresponds to the secure web-page. The wireless client machine is configured to render the secure web-page using the contents of the schema.
