Universal Communication Interface for Web Collaboration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users accessing network resources, such as websites, often collaborate in isolation and require prior scheduling, with conventional collaboration tools lacking desirable communication features and having different user experiences, making it difficult for users to adapt and utilize them effectively.
Innovation Solution
A communication system that detects when multiple users are accessing the same website and enables real-time text, image, and video communication between users through a network interface, allowing users to initiate and engage in communication without the need for prior scheduling, using automatically generated code to embed communication interfaces on user devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional collaboration tools are used, then users can collaborate on network resources, but users require prior scheduling and each website requires its own collaboration system with different user experiences
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal communication system that can be embedded across multiple different websites and network resources. The communication interface is designed to work consistently across various platforms without requiring separate collaboration systems for each website, thereby providing multi-functionality and universality while maintaining ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary communication system that acts as a mediator between users accessing different network resources. This intermediary layer provides a standardized communication interface that bridges different websites, eliminating the need for users to adapt to different collaboration systems while maintaining consistent user experience across platforms.
2Adaptability or versatility
If conventional collaboration tools are used, then users can collaborate on network resources, but prior scheduling is required among participants
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by automatically detecting when multiple users are accessing the same network resource and proactively establishing communication channels between them. The system performs the scheduling action in advance by monitoring user presence and automatically initiating communication opportunities, thereby eliminating the need for users to spend time on prior scheduling arrangements.
Solution Approach 2:
The communication system provides self-service functionality by automatically detecting user presence, identifying potential collaborators, and establishing communication channels without requiring user intervention for scheduling. The system serves itself by monitoring network resource access patterns and autonomously creating communication opportunities, thereby eliminating scheduling time loss.
3Adaptability or versatility
If each website has its own collaboration system, then collaboration can be enabled, but device complexity and difficulty of adaptation increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate collaboration systems into a single unified communication system that can serve multiple websites. Instead of each website maintaining its own collaboration infrastructure, the patent combines these functions into one system that embeds communication capabilities across different network resources, thereby reducing overall device complexity while maintaining collaboration versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal communication platform that performs multiple functions across different websites and network resources. This single system provides collaboration capabilities for various platforms without requiring separate implementations, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining adaptability and versatility across different contexts.

Systems and methods are configured to receive an indication that an anchor is to be positioned at a first location on a webpage. An interaction rule associated with the anchor is received, comprising a rule that content is to be displayed in response to the webpage being scrolled to a first position. A preview of the webpage is generated with the anchor at the first location in conjunction with the previewed webpage. Automatically generated code is configured to cause the anchor to be visible at the first location of the webpage when accessed by a user browser. In response to activation of a publication control, the code is embedded in the webpage, wherein in response to a first user browser of a first user device accessing the webpage, and the first user scrolling the webpage to the first position, the content specified by the content specification is rendered.
