Popularity Data Processing for Hidden and Visible Page Elements
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing data processing methods for displaying popularity data on web pages are limited in scope, as they only consider elements initially in the display state, neglecting elements that become visible only after user interaction.
Innovation Solution
A method and device for processing popularity data that receive a trigger operation for a target page, identify and obtain target elements belonging to specific display types (those entering the display state from a hidden state upon interaction or already visible by default), and extract their popularity data based on this operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If popularity data is collected only for elements initially in display state, then data collection is simple, but data completeness deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary classification of elements into different display types (first display type that enters display state from hidden state, second display type that is initially in display state) before user interaction occurs. This preliminary action enables the system to track both initially visible elements and elements that will become visible through user operations, ensuring complete popularity data collection without requiring complex real-time state monitoring
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments elements into distinct display types based on their initial state and transition characteristics. By dividing elements into first display type (hidden→display) and second display type (initially display), the system can apply different tracking strategies for each segment, simplifying the overall data collection process while maintaining completeness
2Reliability
If all element types are tracked regardless of display state, then data integrity improves, but processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies different tracking qualities to different element segments. For first display type elements (which require user operations to become visible), the system activates popularity tracking only after the element transitions to display state. For second display type elements (initially in display state), tracking begins immediately. This localized quality approach ensures data integrity for all elements while optimizing processing complexity by avoiding unnecessary tracking of hidden elements

AI summary
A popularity data processing method includes receiving a trigger operation for a target page, obtaining one or more target elements in a display state from one or more elements included in the target page, and obtaining popularity data of the target elements based on the trigger operation. A target element of the one or more target elements is an element in the target page belonging to a first display type or a second display type. The first display type is an element type that enters a display state from a hidden state in response to a received display operation, the second display type being different from the first display type.
