Automatic URL Pasting via Clipboard Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Inputting URLs on intelligent terminals, such as smartphones, is inconvenient due to the need to manually copy and paste URLs, which is cumbersome and prone to errors.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that automatically detect and paste URLs from the clipboard to the browser address bar without user intervention, by determining the user's intention based on timing and pasting records, ensuring efficient URL input.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual copy and paste method is used to input URL on intelligent terminal, then URL can be input accurately, but operation convenience deteriorates and time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects copied content in the clipboard and identifies whether it is a URL, then automatically navigates to the corresponding webpage without requiring user intervention for manual pasting. The system serves itself by monitoring its own clipboard state and executing navigation actions autonomously.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary detection of the clipboard content immediately after a copy operation, identifies URL patterns in advance, and prepares the navigation action before the user completes the paste operation, thereby streamlining the overall URL input process.

3Ease of operation
If automatic detection and pasting is implemented, then operation convenience improves and time consumption reduces, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors the clipboard for changes and provides feedback when a URL is detected, automatically triggering the navigation process. This feedback mechanism enables the system to respond dynamically to user actions without requiring complex manual intervention protocols.
4Productivity
If automatic detection and pasting is implemented, then productivity improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors the clipboard for changes and provides feedback when a URL is detected, automatically triggering the navigation process. This feedback mechanism enables the system to respond dynamically to user actions without requiring complex manual intervention protocols.
Data Source
AI summary
An intelligent terminal may comprise at least one processor-readable non-transitory storage medium and at least one processor in communication with the at least one storage medium. The at least one storage medium may comprise at least one set of instructions for automatically pasting a URL from a clipboard to an address bar of a web browser. The at least one processor may be configured to execute the at least one set of instructions to obtain a URL copied by a user from a clipboard; determine an intention of the user associated with whether to paste the candidate string in a designated location of an interface displayed on the intelligent terminal; and automatically display the candidate string in the designated location of the interface when the intention of the user is determined to paste the candidate string in the designated location of the interface.
