PDA Application Performance Monitoring via Web Service Mediator
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The increasing use of mobile apps over web browsers has created a need for improved insight into the performance of applications on personal digital assistant (PDA) terminals, as native apps provide better user experiences, but existing methods lack effective monitoring capabilities across diverse mobile platforms.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for collecting and analyzing data exchange information, including transfer speed and other parameters, between a PDA terminal and a web service, allowing for storage on the terminal and transmission to a web server for further analysis, enabling better understanding and improvement of application performance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If data exchange information is collected and stored on the terminal device, then measurement precision of application performance is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a web service as an intermediary that receives, stores, and analyzes data exchange information from the terminal device. This mediator handles the complexity of data management and performance analysis externally, allowing the terminal device to maintain simple collection and transmission functions while achieving precise performance measurement through the web service's processing capabilities.
2Loss of information
If data exchange information is transmitted to a web server, then loss of information is reduced, but use of energy increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the functions of data storage and analysis from the terminal device and places them on the web server. The terminal device only performs data collection and transmission, while the web server handles data retention and processing. This extraction reduces the terminal device's energy burden while ensuring information is preserved and analyzed centrally.
3Measurement precision
If comprehensive data exchange information is collected, then measurement precision is improved, but quantity of substance (data volume) increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential performance-related data elements from the complete data exchange information. The monitoring module collects comprehensive data but extracts and transmits only the specific parameters needed for performance measurement (such as data transfer speeds, response times, and error rates) to the web service, while less critical data is processed or discarded locally.
