Solution Overview

Problem

Users face inefficiencies in accessing and switching between multiple Internet application services on mobile devices, requiring the installation of multiple application programs and consuming storage space and user time.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that utilizes a card server to integrate various Internet application services into a unified platform, allowing users to access multiple services through a single interface without installing multiple apps, using invocation commands, service pages, and card model data to generate and display results.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If users install multiple application programs to access different Internet application services, then service functionality is improved, but device storage space is consumed and user time is lost due to switching between apps

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveservice functionalityVSAvoidstorage space

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal service access interface that can invoke multiple different Internet application services through a single unified entry point. The service page generation mechanism allows one interface to perform the functions of multiple specialized applications, eliminating the need for users to install and switch between separate apps for different services.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary service access mechanism that sits between the user and multiple Internet application services. This intermediary generates service pages that aggregate and coordinate access to underlying services, allowing users to interact with multiple services through a single mediating interface rather than directly with each service's native application.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If users install multiple application programs to access different Internet application services, then service functionality is improved, but user time is lost due to switching between apps

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveservice functionalityVSAvoiduser time

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple Internet application services into a single unified service access interface. By combining service invocation, display, and interaction capabilities into one integrated system, users can access previously separate services without the time loss associated with opening and switching between multiple applications.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The universal service access interface performs multiple service functions simultaneously, allowing users to access different Internet application services through a single multi-functional entry point, thereby eliminating the sequential time required to open and switch between separate applications.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Quantity of substance

If a unified service access interface is implemented, then storage space is saved and user time is reduced, but service complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvestorage spaceVSAvoidservice complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the service access system into distinct functional modules: a service invocation interface layer, a service page generation layer, and underlying service implementation layers. This segmentation allows the unified interface to manage complexity internally while presenting a simple user-facing experience, hiding the service complexity from users.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The service page generation mechanism acts as an intermediary that manages the complexity of coordinating multiple underlying services. It translates user requests into appropriate service invocations and aggregates results, thereby managing service complexity internally while maintaining a simple unified access interface for users.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Providing Internet application services includes acquiring an invocation command for an Internet application service and opening a service page corresponding to the Internet application service, generating an Internet application service invocation result based on an Internet application service invocation operation performed by a user on the service page, sending the Internet application service invocation result to the Internet application service provider and causing the Internet application service provider to generate invocation result card model data based on the Internet application service invocation result, generating an invocation result display card, and displaying the one or more other Internet application services to the user.
