Proxy Server Prioritizing Site Pages by Location Query
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in selecting the most relevant site pages from multiple access points when searching for content related to their current position, as existing methods require manual selection and do not guarantee the presence of desired information before browsing.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a proxy server with an address correspondence table that associates access point addresses with site page addresses, allowing the portable terminal to search for nearby access points, transmit page acquisition requests, and receive a list of site pages prioritized based on query information, such as update time, keywords, or positional information, without requiring user selection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If the portable terminal searches for multiple access points and displays their site pages, then the user can access more information about nearby locations, but the user faces difficulty in selecting the most relevant site page from multiple options
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a mediation mechanism that automatically matches access point information with site page information based on location data. The system acts as an intermediary between the user and multiple site pages, automatically selecting and prioritizing relevant pages based on the portable terminal's current position, thereby eliminating the need for manual selection while maintaining access to multiple information sources
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of site page presentation from unsorted or equal-weight display to prioritized display based on relevance parameters. By introducing ranking parameters such as distance from current position, the system transforms the selection process from manual evaluation to automatic parameter-based sorting, making the most relevant site pages appear first in the list
2Adaptability or versatility
If the system requires manual selection of access points, then the user can choose specific locations, but the user cannot be sure that desired information is present before browsing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by performing information matching and relevance assessment before the user actually browses the site pages. The system pre-processes the access point and site page data, compares location information, and determines relevance in advance, so that when the user views the prioritized list, they can already see which pages are most likely to contain desired information
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the system continuously monitors the portable terminal's position and automatically updates the site page recommendations. The system provides feedback to the user about which site pages are most relevant based on current location, allowing the user to make informed decisions about which pages to browse without manual selection
3Reliability
If the portable terminal connects to the Internet through contracted access network, then the user can access site pages, but the user needs to perform operations to select desired access point from searched access points
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies self-service by enabling the system to automatically perform the selection and prioritization of site pages based on pre-stored correspondence data. The portable terminal and server work together to automatically match access point addresses with site page addresses, eliminating the need for user intervention in the selection process while maintaining reliable connection to the contracted access network

AI summary
A proxy server includes an address correspondence table in which reference information is associated with each set of the address of the access point and the address of the site page. The portable terminal searches for the access points in the vicinity of the portable terminal, receives annunciation signals including the addresses of the access points, and transmits a page acquisition request including the addresses and query information to the proxy server. The proxy server searches for the addresses of the site pages, using the address correspondence table, and generates list information in which the addresses are arranged such that the address having the reference information related to the query information ranks high, and transmits the list information as a response to the portable terminal. It is preferable that the portable terminal transmit each page acquisition request based on the list information to site servers.
