Server Beacon Content Structuring to Cut Device Power
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for obtaining content from beacons in electronic devices are format-dependent, leading to increased power and data consumption, especially when using URLs that require direct web crawling.
Innovation Solution
A server and electronic device system that processes beacon information to generate content in a structured document format, allowing for efficient transmission and display regardless of beacon format, with the server collecting and storing data from websites and generating content based on received beacon information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the electronic device directly crawls content from websites using beacon URLs, then the device can obtain content from any beacon format, but power consumption and data consumption increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
A server is introduced as an intermediary between the beacon and the electronic device. The server receives beacon information, crawls websites to obtain content, generates structured documents, and transmits them to the electronic device. This mediator approach allows the device to acquire content from any beacon format without directly crawling websites, thereby reducing power and data consumption while maintaining versatility.
2Ease of manufacture
If the electronic device processes different beacon formats (ID, URL) using native methods, then processing is straightforward, but the device requires specific applications or protocols for each format
Solution Approach 1:
The server is designed to handle multiple beacon formats (ID, URL, and other types) through a unified processing approach. It receives various beacon information types, determines the appropriate processing method based on the format, and generates structured documents accordingly. This universal processing capability enables the system to support diverse beacon formats without requiring separate native applications or protocols for each format in the electronic device.
3Reliability
If the electronic device obtains content through direct web crawling, then the device can access real-time content, but data consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The server acts as an intermediary that performs web crawling and content acquisition on behalf of the electronic device. It collects content from websites, generates structured documents, and transmits them to the device. This approach maintains content freshness and reliability while significantly reducing data consumption on the device side, as the device only receives pre-processed structured documents rather than crawling websites directly.
Data Source
AI summary
A server according to an embodiment of the disclosure may include at least one processor and storage, wherein the at least one processor may be configured to receive beacon information including information on at least one website from the electronic device, collect data from a first website of the at least one website based on the beacon information, generate content having a structured document format based on at least a part of the collected data, and transmit the generated content to the electronic device.
