Textsite Bookmarking via SMS Syntax Extraction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of mobile devices face difficulties in accessing specific information from websites due to cumbersome loading of graphics and advertisements, especially when they lack a data plan or are in areas with poor network coverage, and there is a need for an efficient mechanism to remember and retrieve publisher-registered keywords for textsite applications.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for creating and managing bookmarks using text messages, where a user ID, bookmark ID, and registered unique keyword are extracted from a text message with a predetermined syntax, allowing users to access textsite content through a global textsite platform, enabling easy recall and updating of bookmarks for frequently used textsite applications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If users browse websites on mobile devices to obtain information, then access to information is provided, but loading time increases due to graphics and advertisements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and removes unnecessary elements (graphics, advertisements, full website content) from the information delivery process. It delivers only the essential text content and keywords to mobile devices, separating the core information from the decorative and commercial elements that cause loading delays.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments website content into discrete keywords and text snippets that can be independently transmitted via SMS. Each keyword represents a segment of information that can be requested and received separately, allowing users to obtain specific information without waiting for entire web pages to load.
2Loss of information
If users browse websites on mobile devices, then information access is enabled, but device complexity and network requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses SMS text messages as a simple, universally compatible communication medium instead of requiring sophisticated mobile web browsers. SMS is a basic feature on all mobile phones, eliminating the need for complex browsing capabilities, data plans, or advanced device hardware.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical system of mobile web browsing (requiring browsers, network protocols, rendering engines) with a simpler text-based message exchange system. Information is transmitted as plain text SMS messages rather than rendered web pages, substituting complex digital processing with simple text communication.
3Loss of information
If the keyword collection in TMS platform grows, then information availability increases, but user difficulty in finding keywords increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the system responds to user interactions by providing relevant keyword suggestions and information about available keywords. When users engage with the platform, they receive feedback about related keywords and content, making the growing keyword collection navigable and discoverable.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-organizing and categorizing keywords before users need to search for them. The system prepares keyword listings, categories, and descriptions in advance, so when users access the platform, they can quickly find relevant keywords without navigating through an unorganized growing collection.

AI summary
A method for using a bookmark to access content from a global textsite platform (GTP). The method includes obtaining a bookmark creating text message, wherein the bookmark creating text message is based on a text messaging service (TMS) and sent by a user to create the bookmark, extracting, by a computer processor from the bookmark creating text message and based on a pre-determined syntax, a user ID representing the user, a first bookmark ID representing the bookmark, and a first registered unique keyword used to access a first textsite from the GTP based on the TMS, and storing, as a bookmark entry in a bookmark list of the GTP, the user ID, the first bookmark ID, and the first registered unique keyword, wherein the first bookmark ID is used by the user to access the first textsite from the GTP.
