Server Bookmark Synchronization via Collection Push
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing browser technologies require manual sharing and addition of bookmarks between users, lacking an efficient method for synchronizing multiple bookmarks across different terminal browsers.
Innovation Solution
A server-based system that receives a bookmark collection from a first terminal browser and pushes it to a second terminal browser, allowing simultaneous addition of bookmarks, enabling easy and quick sharing of multiple bookmarks across various terminal browsers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual sharing of bookmarks through third-party software interface is used, then bookmark sharing between users is enabled, but the process is time-consuming and requires multiple manual steps
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary component that enables automatic bookmark synchronization between browsers. The server receives bookmark collections from a first terminal browser and pushes them to a second terminal browser, eliminating the need for manual third-party software interfaces and reducing sharing time significantly.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables automatic bookmark synchronization where the browser automatically sends bookmark collections to the server and receives updated bookmarks without manual intervention. The server automatically pushes bookmarks to the second terminal browser, making the entire process self-service oriented and time-efficient.
2Productivity
If bookmarks are shared one at a time through third-party software, then bookmark sharing is possible, but the efficiency and speed of sharing multiple bookmarks is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple bookmark sharing operations into a single synchronized process. Instead of sharing bookmarks one at a time, the system transfers entire bookmark collections between terminal browsers through the server, achieving simultaneous addition of multiple bookmarks and significantly improving sharing efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The server continuously monitors and maintains bookmark synchronization between terminal browsers. The system ensures continuous useful action by automatically pushing updated bookmark collections to the second terminal browser without interruption, maintaining high productivity throughout the synchronization process.
3Speed
If automatic bookmark synchronization is implemented, then sharing speed is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The server acts as a centralized intermediary that handles all bookmark synchronization operations between terminal browsers. This intermediary approach simplifies the overall system architecture by centralizing the complex synchronization logic in the server, while maintaining high sharing speed through automated push operations.
Data Source
AI summary
Methods and systems for synchronizing browser bookmarks are provided herein. In an exemplary method, a server can receive a bookmark collection sent by a first terminal browser. The bookmark collection can contain one or more bookmarks. The server can push the bookmark collection to a second terminal browser for the second terminal browser to simultaneously add the one or more bookmarks contained in the bookmark collection as bookmarks of the second terminal browser.
