Solution Overview

Problem

Existing web browsers display popup content in separate windows, which can be intrusive and cluttered, and lack efficient methods to compactly integrate popup content with the main web page without obstructing the user's view.

Innovation Solution

An apparatus and method that analyzes popup content and generates compressed content, allowing it to be displayed on the same web page by contracting text, resizing images, or extracting representative images from videos, while maintaining link information and controlling display based on user input.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If popup content is displayed in a separate window, then the popup content can be displayed independently, but it obstructs the user's view and creates clutter

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser view obstructionVSAvoiddisplay structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges popup content display with the main web page by embedding the popup content into the web page's display area. The popup content is rendered within a container element that is part of the web page's DOM structure, allowing both the web page and popup content to coexist in the same window without obstruction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from a separate window dimension to an integrated dimensional space within the web page. By using absolute positioning and layering techniques, the popup content is placed in a different z-index layer within the same viewport, eliminating the need for a separate window while maintaining independent display capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Quantity of substance

If popup content is integrated into the web page, then clutter is reduced, but the popup content may be lost or truncated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepopup content visibilityVSAvoidpopup content integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic display control where the popup content container can be shown or hidden based on user interaction. When the user clicks on the popup content area, the container expands to display the full popup content. This dynamic expansion mechanism ensures that complete popup content is visible upon request while maintaining a compact integrated state when not in use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the popup content display into a dedicated container element within the web page. This container is a separate DOM element that can be independently controlled, allowing the popup content to be displayed in its entirety within the integrated page structure without affecting the main web page content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Area of stationary object

If popup content is displayed on the same window, then integration is improved, but the display area is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay area utilizationVSAvoidpopup content adaptation
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the display parameters of the popup content container dynamically. The container's position, size, and visibility are adjusted based on the popup content's requirements and the available display area. Absolute positioning allows the container to be placed optimally within the web page, and its dimensions can be modified to accommodate different popup content sizes while maintaining proper aspect ratios and readability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

An apparatus for compactedly displaying popup content includes a processor configured to execute computer program modules; and a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium configured to store executable computer program modules. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium includes: a determining module configured to determine whether a browsed web page provides popup content through a new window; a popup content analyzing module configured to analyze first popup content when the browsed web page provides the first popup content through the new window; a content editing module configured to generate compressed content based on the result of analyzing the first popup content; and a display controlling module configured to control the compressed content to be displayed on a part of the browsed web page.
