Scope-Sensitive Software Resource Loading for Web Applications
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current web applications load all software resources regardless of user privileges, location, or device type, leading to inefficiencies and slower loading times, as they do not selectively provide only the necessary resources based on the scope of the application.
Innovation Solution
The system employs a hierarchical organization of web application functionalities and a web application composition engine to determine and provide only the required software resources to the web browser, based on user privileges, location, device type, and other factors, ensuring that unnecessary resources are not sent, and resources are loaded in an order that addresses dependencies.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If all software resources are loaded for every web application request, then complete functionality is ensured, but loading time and data transmission increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments software resources into multiple categories (core resources, optional resources, context-dependent resources) and loads them selectively based on user scope attributes. This segmentation allows the system to load only necessary resources rather than all resources, resolving the contradiction between functionality completeness and loading time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic resource loading where the set of loaded resources changes based on user scope attributes (user privileges, device type, location). The composition engine dynamically determines which resources to load by evaluating scope attributes against resource requirements, enabling the system to adapt resource loading to specific user contexts while maintaining complete functionality when needed.
2Adaptability or versatility
If all software resources are loaded regardless of user scope, then all features are available, but data transmission and processing overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by customizing the resource set for each user scope combination. Instead of uniform resource loading for all users, the system tailors the loaded resources to match specific user attributes (e.g., mobile users receive optimized resources, administrators receive additional management resources). This reduces data transmission while maintaining appropriate feature availability for each user type.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of resource selection based on user scope attributes. The composition engine evaluates multiple parameters (user privileges, device type, geographic location) and adjusts the resource loading configuration accordingly. This parameter-driven approach ensures features are available where needed while minimizing unnecessary data transmission.
3Productivity
If scope-sensitive resource loading is implemented, then loading efficiency improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a web application composition engine as an intermediary between the resource repository and the web application. This mediator evaluates user scope attributes and selectively composes the appropriate resource set, shielding the complexity of scope-sensitive loading from the end user while maintaining high loading efficiency. The composition engine handles the complex logic of resource selection based on multiple scope attributes.

AI summary
A method for scope-sensitive loading of software resources in web applications. The method includes obtaining, from a web browser, a request for a web application and obtaining a scope of the requested web application. The scope determines required web application functionalities. The method further includes, based on the scope, generating a list of required software resources that implement the required web application functionalities, collecting the required software resources, based on the list of required software resources, and providing the collected required software resources to the web browser.
