Solution Overview

Problem

Users face challenges in managing multiple website log-ins and resource wastage due to the need for installing various dedicated application programs on user terminals, which also poses security risks.

Innovation Solution

A web browsing method utilizing an operation server that allows users to access and log into websites without installing dedicated application programs on their terminals, by automatically logging in and downloading necessary programs, and transmitting browsing results to the user terminal.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If dedicated application programs are installed in the user terminal to access websites, then the user can be provided with contents and services from the website, but the user terminal resources are unnecessarily wasted and security level is temporarily lowered

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewebsite access capabilityVSAvoiduser terminal resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an operation server as an intermediary between the user terminal and web server. The operation server hosts the dedicated application programs and handles content delivery, allowing the user terminal to access website contents without installing local applications. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining website access capability while eliminating local resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If dedicated application programs are downloaded and installed from the web server, then the user can access website contents, but the security level of the user terminal is temporarily lowered

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent access capabilityVSAvoiduser terminal security
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The operation server acts as a secure intermediary that hosts and manages dedicated application programs. Instead of downloading programs from potentially untrusted web servers directly to the user terminal, the operation server provides a controlled environment where programs are executed remotely. This eliminates security risks associated with local installation while maintaining content access capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a virtual browsing environment where website contents are copied and rendered in the operation server rather than requiring the user terminal to execute original website programs. This allows content access without compromising terminal security, as the user terminal only receives rendered content images rather than executing external code.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple dedicated application programs are installed for different websites, then each website can be accessed, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemulti-website accessVSAvoidnumber of installed applications
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The operation server provides a universal platform that can host and execute multiple different dedicated application programs for various websites. Instead of requiring separate local installations for each website, a single operation server application on the user terminal can access multiple websites by leveraging the remote server's capabilities. This maintains multi-website adaptability while reducing device complexity to a single application installation.

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

AI summary

A web browsing method using an operation server is provided. The web browsing method makes it possible to view contents without installing a dedicated application program necessary for downloading the content from the website and to automatically log-in the website without performing a log-in operation by the user terminal, using a system including a user terminal, a web server managing a website and the operation server.
