Server Unit Scenario Information Segmentation for Multi-Device Browsing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing digital book browsing systems face issues with increasing amounts of delivery information as the number of display models increases, and managing content across multiple devices owned by a single user becomes cumbersome.
Innovation Solution
A server unit that includes a browsing request receiver, user discriminator, delivery information generator, and delivery device, which adds scenario information for each model to delivery information, allowing for efficient management and delivery of content across multiple devices owned by a single user, reducing unnecessary information transmission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple pieces of scenario information corresponding to all models are embedded in delivery content, then any display unit can select the optimum scenario information for its model, but the amount of useless information in delivery information increases as the number of display unit models increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments scenario information by user and device model, storing different scenario information sets for different users in the storage unit. When a browsing request is received, the server identifies the user and their specific device model, then retrieves only the relevant scenario information for that user's model rather than including all scenario information for all models. This segmentation approach maintains model-specific optimization while reducing the amount of information transmitted for each user.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by tailoring the delivery information to the specific characteristics of each user's device model. Instead of providing a uniform set of all possible scenario information to all users, the system customizes the delivery information to include only the scenario information relevant to that particular user's display unit model, thereby optimizing information delivery according to local (user-specific) needs.
2Adaptability or versatility
If contents are separately managed for each model when a user has multiple display units, then model-specific content delivery is achieved, but content management becomes troublesome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements universality through the user management unit, which maintains a single unified user profile that encompasses multiple display units of different models. The storage unit stores scenario information associated with the user rather than separately for each model, allowing the system to universally manage content delivery across multiple devices. When a browsing request is received from any of the user's devices, the server identifies the user and automatically retrieves the appropriate scenario information from the unified storage, eliminating the need for users to manually manage separate content for each model while still achieving model-specific optimization.

AI summary
A server unit includes a browsing request receiving device that receives a browsing request for a piece of content including one or multiple pages from a display unit; a user discriminating device that discriminates a user of the display unit issuing the browsing request; a delivery information generating device that generates a piece of delivery information by adding a piece of scenario information for each model representing a transition of a display range within each page of the content to which the browsing request is issued from the display unit, when an identical user discriminated by the user discriminating device has multiple display units of different models, the delivery information generating device generating the delivery information the content of which has added thereto multiple pieces of scenario information; and a delivery device that delivers the delivery information.
