Solution Overview

Problem

Current page push methods without a user application layer link require beam-splitting or mirroring to obtain HTTP traffic, leading to network security and privacy concerns, high deployment costs, and inflexibility due to the need for equipment and resource occupation.

Innovation Solution

A page push system that utilizes a centralized network management controller to obtain HTTP link information, allowing a page push server to perform page pushes directly through an HTTP redirection mode without storing or analyzing large amounts of traffic, thereby improving efficiency and reducing costs while protecting user privacy and network security.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If beam-splitting or mirroring mode is used to obtain HTTP traffic, then user traffic can be acquired for analysis, but network security and privacy are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser traffic informationVSAvoidnetwork security and privacy
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a centralized network management controller as an intermediary between the page push server and user traffic. This controller obtains user HTTP link information through legitimate network management functions rather than invasive beam-splitting or mirroring, thus acquiring necessary information while maintaining network security and user privacy protection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If beam-splitting or mirroring equipment is deployed to obtain user traffic, then traffic analysis can be performed, but device complexity and deployment cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser traffic informationVSAvoidsystem deployment complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential HTTP link information from user traffic through the centralized network management controller, rather than capturing and storing complete user traffic streams. This extraction approach eliminates the need for complex beam-splitting or mirroring equipment while obtaining sufficient information for page push operations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of duplicating entire traffic streams through mirroring equipment, the system obtains necessary HTTP link information through legitimate network management functions via the centralized controller, creating a simplified information acquisition path that eliminates complex copying infrastructure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Loss of information

If large amounts of user traffic are stored and analyzed, then comprehensive user information can be obtained, but equipment investment and operational cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser informationVSAvoidequipment investment
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the essential HTTP link information needed for page push operations through the centralized network management controller, rather than capturing, storing, and analyzing large volumes of complete user traffic data. This selective extraction dramatically reduces equipment investment and operational costs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by obtaining only the specific HTTP link information required for page push functionality, rather than performing comprehensive traffic analysis on all user data. This partial information acquisition approach eliminates excessive equipment investment while achieving the necessary goal

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
