Solution Overview

Problem

The Internet marketing industry faces challenges in optimizing the speed of access from landing pages to product sales points, as slow response times lead to customer impatience and decreased conversion rates due to the need for run-time decryption and encoding of links.

Innovation Solution

The method involves deploying landing pages with pre-decrypted and pre-encoded elements, updating parameters during deployment, and nesting unencoded URLs to eliminate run-time decryption and encoding, thereby enhancing redirection speed and efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If run-time decryption and encoding of links is performed, then security and flexibility are maintained, but response time increases and customer impatience occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse timeVSAvoidtime for decryption and encoding
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing decryption and encoding of links during the landing page deployment phase rather than at run-time. The system pre-processes the landing page elements, decrypting encrypted URLs and encoding necessary parameters before the page is served to customers. This eliminates the need for time-consuming run-time processing, significantly reducing response time while maintaining security and flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If all links are decrypted at run-time, then flexibility is maintained, but processing speed decreases and conversion rate drops

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconversion rateVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary decryption of encrypted links during landing page deployment, so that when customers access the page, the links are already ready for immediate use. This pre-processing approach maintains the flexibility of having encrypted links (for security and A/B testing) while eliminating the processing time delay, thereby improving conversion rates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the processing into two distinct phases: deployment phase (where decryption and encoding occur) and run-time phase (where only lightweight parameter substitution is needed). This segmentation allows the heavy processing to be done once during deployment rather than repeatedly at run-time, significantly improving productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If encryption is applied to landing page elements, then security is improved, but access speed is reduced due to run-time decryption requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidaccess speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The system maintains security by keeping landing page elements encrypted during deployment, then performs preliminary decryption during the deployment process. This allows the system to benefit from both encrypted storage (security) and fast access (speed) - the encryption prevents unauthorized viewing while the pre-decryption during deployment eliminates run-time processing delays.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
