Solution Overview
Problem
Current online computing systems lack a user-friendly and comprehensive platform for accessing a wide range of mathematical computation tools, as existing tools are scattered, not user-friendly, and require specific interfaces, limiting accessibility and convenience for general users.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If computing programs are implemented on desktop computers with unique interfaces for each application, then each program can be optimized for its specific computation needs, but the complexity of accessing and using these programs increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by creating a single unified web interface that can access and execute multiple different computing programs through a database. Instead of requiring separate unique interfaces for each computing program, the system provides one universal interface that handles all computation types by querying the database for the appropriate program and its parameters, thereby reducing interface complexity while maintaining computation accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses a database as an intermediary between the user interface and the computing programs. The database stores computation programs, their parameters, and execution requirements in a structured format. When a user interacts with the unified interface, the database mediates by retrieving the appropriate program and its parameters, allowing the interface to remain simple while the system maintains access to diverse computation methods.
2Adaptability or versatility
If computing tools are scattered on a large number of websites, then each tool can be optimized for its specific function, but it becomes burdensome to find and access the needed tools
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple scattered computing tools into a single unified web interface. Instead of users visiting multiple different websites to find various computing tools, the system combines all available computation programs into one accessible location. The database stores metadata about all computing programs, allowing the unified interface to present them in an organized manner and enable users to access any computation tool from this single location.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a virtual copy of multiple computing programs and their interfaces within the unified web interface. Rather than requiring users to navigate to different physical websites, the system creates representations (copies) of various computing programs accessible through the single interface. These copies maintain the functional capabilities of the original tools while presenting them through a consistent, easy-to-use interface.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a comprehensive online computing system is built to handle millions of computing methods, then accessibility and convenience are improved, but the programming effort and system complexity increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the comprehensive computing system into modular components: a unified web interface layer, a database layer for storing computation programs and parameters, and the actual computing programs themselves. This segmentation allows the system to handle millions of computing methods by organizing them in the database rather than coding each one manually. The interface and database structure remain relatively simple while the system scales to accommodate extensive computational coverage through the modular architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses parameter changes to manage system complexity. Instead of programming each computing method from scratch, the system stores computation programs as data with specific parameters in the database. By changing how the system handles computation requests - querying the database for program parameters rather than executing hardcoded logic - the system can accommodate millions of computing methods without proportional increases in programming effort.
4Reliability
If computing programs require unique interfaces specifically designed for them, then each program can be optimized for its computation needs, but maintenance and updates become difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality to maintenance by creating a single unified interface that handles all computing programs. When updates or repairs are needed, the developer only needs to modify the unified interface code and database structure, not recreate or update multiple different interfaces. This universal approach maintains program functionality while significantly reducing maintenance effort compared to managing separate unique interfaces for each computation program.

AI summary
An online computing system hosting a plurality of computing projects in the form of database records allows users to search computing projects by search keys, project ID or category names, conduct computation for found projects, and create new computing projects at client computers. Each computing job is performed by searching the database, selecting a computing project by clicking on one of the found links on the search result page, and providing data in a computing data input form for submission. A large number of computing projects can be created by a plurality of users on client computers.
