Solution Overview

Problem

In network environments, repetitive user requests for specific content result in wasteful bandwidth consumption and user experience delays due to the transfer of unnecessary resources, such as pictures, flash objects, and links, which are not of interest to the user.

Innovation Solution

A system that generates and stores optimized URLs, redirecting subsequent requests for a base URL to only the specific resources that are frequently accessed, thereby reducing bandwidth usage and enhancing user experience by presenting only the necessary content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the complete base URL content is transferred with each request, then all resources are available to the user, but bandwidth consumption increases and loading time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource availabilityVSAvoidbandwidth consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the specific component resource that the user actually requests from the complete base URL content, transferring only that extracted resource back to the user. This eliminates the transfer of unnecessary resources while ensuring the requested resource is available, thus reducing bandwidth consumption without compromising resource availability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The base URL content is segmented into individual component resources, allowing the system to identify and transfer only the specific segment (component resource) that the user requests, rather than transferring the entire base URL content. This segmentation enables precise control over what is transferred, reducing overall bandwidth consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If the complete base URL content is transferred with each request, then all resources are available to the user, but loading time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource availabilityVSAvoidloading time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and transfers only the specific component resource that the user actually requests, eliminating the time required to transfer and process unnecessary resources. This extraction approach ensures the requested resource is available while significantly reducing loading time by avoiding the transfer of unrelated content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Loss of energy

If optimized URL redirection is implemented, then bandwidth consumption is reduced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebandwidth consumptionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically monitors user requests, identifies patterns of repetitive access to specific component resources, and autonomously implements optimized URL redirection without requiring manual configuration or user intervention. This self-service approach reduces bandwidth consumption through intelligent redirection while minimizing the operational complexity for users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system monitors user request patterns and uses this feedback to dynamically create and update optimized URLs. When the system detects that a specific component resource is frequently requested from a base URL, it automatically generates an optimized URL that directs future requests to only that specific resource, reducing bandwidth consumption based on actual usage patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

4Loss of time

If optimized URL redirection is implemented, then loading time is reduced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveloading timeVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system autonomously monitors request patterns, identifies optimization opportunities, and implements redirected URLs without manual intervention. This self-service mechanism reduces loading time by automatically serving only the requested component resources while keeping the operational complexity low for end users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary monitoring of user requests to identify patterns before implementing optimized URL redirection. By detecting repetitive request patterns in advance and pre-establishing optimized URLs, the system reduces loading time for subsequent requests while managing complexity through automated pattern recognition rather than manual configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Media and systems are provided for limiting bandwidth consumption in a network environment by presenting customized browser-presentable resources. A request for a base universal resource locator (URL), followed by a request for a specific resource, is received. An optimized URL for the request is generated. When a predetermined number of requests for the specific component resource are received during the course of accessing the base URL, subsequent user requests for the base URL are redirected to the optimized URL. Thus, only the specific resources are presented for display. Requests to return to the base URL can result in discontinuing redirection. Returning to the base URL and accessing additional resources can modify the enhanced URL or redirect requests for the base URL to a difference component resource. Network bandwidth usage is enhanced by recognizing repetitive user requests.
