Network Data Browsing with Thumbnail and Size Preview
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing network data browsing methods are inefficient for traffic-sensitive users, leading to unnecessary power consumption and shortened standby times in Internet terminal equipment, as they often acquire undesired data.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that request and display thumbnail media data along with data amount information for original media data, allowing users to make informed decisions and reduce unnecessary data acquisition, thereby minimizing network traffic waste and prolonging terminal equipment standby times.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If original media data is replaced with thumbnail media data to reduce data amount, then data acquiring speed is improved, but network traffic waste increases for traffic-sensitive users
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary information layer between the thumbnail display and the original media data. This intermediary layer includes data amount information and quality assessment results that mediate the user's decision-making process, allowing users to determine whether to download the full original media data based on predefined criteria before actually downloading, thus reducing unnecessary network traffic while maintaining fast access to thumbnails
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter presented to the user from a simple binary choice (download or not) to an informed decision based on multiple parameters including data amount, quality assessment, and user preferences. By transforming the decision-making process into a parameter-based evaluation system, the patent enables users to make more rational choices about data download, reducing network traffic waste while maintaining access speed
2Ease of operation
If thumbnail media data is displayed with links to original media data, then user access to original data is enabled, but meaningless power consumption occurs when users acquire undesired data
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary action by presenting data amount information and quality assessment results before the user initiates the download of original media data. This preliminary information disclosure enables users to make informed decisions in advance, avoiding unnecessary download operations that would consume power, while still maintaining easy access to original data when needed based on the displayed criteria
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback by displaying real-time information about data amount and quality assessment results to the user, allowing the system to respond to user needs dynamically. The feedback loop enables users to see the characteristics of available data and make conscious decisions about whether to proceed with downloading, thereby avoiding meaningless power consumption while preserving ease of access when data is actually needed
3Device complexity
If complete network data is acquired without data amount information, then data acquisition is simplified, but standby time of terminal equipment is shortened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the data acquisition process into distinct stages: first acquiring and displaying data amount information and quality assessment results, then conditionally acquiring the original media data only when necessary. This segmentation allows the system to simplify the initial display process while avoiding unnecessary data acquisition operations that would drain power and reduce standby time, maintaining a balance between process simplicity and energy efficiency

AI summary
Disclosed are a method and a device for browsing network data, and a storage medium, and the method is operable on a device for browsing network data and includes: requesting for acquisition of network data, which includes thumbnail media data used for the thumbnail display of original media data; acquiring the thumbnail media data and data amount information of the original media data corresponding to the thumbnail media data; and displaying the thumbnail media data and the data amount information. By the disclosure, a user of an Internet terminal may obtain the relevant information of the original media data, so that unnecessary data acquiring operations by the user may be reduced, the waste of network traffic is reduced and the standby time of the Internet terminal is prolonged.
