Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Touch version websites cannot be freely switched between different browsers, lacking cross-browser platform support, which limits user convenience in navigating pages.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for creating and displaying sequential virtual pages on a touch screen, collecting touch positions, and switching pages based on these positions, using HTML5 web page programming to ensure page switching functionality across various browsers.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a touch version website is implemented in a specific browser, then the user can freely switch pages through touching operations, but the page switching functionality cannot be achieved in various different browsers

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvepage switching operationVSAvoidcross-browser compatibility

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal page switching mechanism that works across multiple browsers by using standard HTML5 technologies. The solution creates virtual pages that can be uniformly loaded and switched in any browser supporting HTML5, eliminating the limitation of being restricted to a single specific browser while maintaining ease of touch-based page switching operations

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If traditional page switching methods are used in specific browsers, then page switching can be achieved, but additional native programming or plugins are required for cross-browser support

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvepage switching functionalityVSAvoidprogramming requirements

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces complex native programming and plugin-based solutions with HTML5-based virtual page implementation. By using standard web technologies (HTML5, CSS, JavaScript) to create virtual pages that can be uniformly loaded and switched across browsers, the solution eliminates the need for browser-specific native code or additional plugins, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining reliable page switching functionality

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

A method for switching page includes creating several sequential virtual pages through loading a page script, and displaying the virtual pages on a touch screen of an electronic device; collecting touching positions of a user in the displayed virtual pages; and performing switching pages to the virtual pages displayed on the touch screen according to the touching positions. An electronic device for switching page includes a page virtual module used to create several sequential virtual pages through loading the page script, and display the virtual pages on the touch screen; a collecting module used to collect touching positions of a user in the displayed virtual page; and a processing module used to perform switching pages to the virtual page displayed on the touch screen according to said touching positions.
