Solution Overview

Problem

Existing information processing systems cannot effectively preview and display details of multiple link destinations within a single screen without requiring complex analysis and switching between pages.

Innovation Solution

An information processing apparatus and Web server system that allows for the detection of user operations on links, enabling the simultaneous display of multiple link destination pages within frames on the same screen, using communication and display units to receive and render page files from a Web server, and incorporating scripts to manage and narrow down display content based on predefined parameters.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If an analysis apparatus analyzes page information in advance using data mining techniques, then information can be provided at multiple levels of detail, but processing becomes complicated and cannot simultaneously display multiple link destinations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the display into multiple frames, each capable of showing different link destination pages simultaneously. The display apparatus divides the screen into first and second frames, allowing parallel display of multiple pages without requiring complex analysis processing for each individual page.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from sequential single-page display to simultaneous multi-page display by adding a spatial dimension through multiple frames. This allows information from multiple link destinations to be presented at the same time rather than requiring complex analysis to switch between pages.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Loss of information

If a single link destination page is displayed in full detail, then complete information is provided, but multiple link destinations cannot be displayed simultaneously on one screen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepage information completenessVSAvoidscreen display area
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The display screen is segmented into multiple frames (first frame and second frame), each capable of displaying a different link destination page. This segmentation allows the limited screen area to be divided and used efficiently to show multiple pages simultaneously without sacrificing information completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes the spatial dimension of the display screen by creating multiple overlapping or adjacent frames. This dimensional approach allows multiple pages to occupy the same screen space simultaneously, effectively increasing the information capacity without requiring a larger physical screen.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Loss of information

If traditional page switching is used to view link destinations, then each page can be viewed in full, but screen switching is required and cannot check details without clicking

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelink destination detailsVSAvoidoperation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The display is segmented into multiple frames where each frame can show a different link destination simultaneously. Users can view details of multiple pages without clicking or switching screens, as all pages are displayed at once in their respective frames, greatly improving operational convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adds a temporal dimension by making all link destination pages available simultaneously rather than sequentially. This eliminates the need for page switching operations, as users can access any link destination detail immediately without clicking or waiting for page transitions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
