Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current web technologies lack a consistent set of services that allow users to store and access a variety of content types across different applications and devices, limiting the ability to seamlessly store and retrieve content ubiquitously using any device connected to the web.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that provides web system services, enabling clients to store and retrieve data and context information as web application documents on web servers, using a graphical user interface and web system services interface to create, store, and restore content across different devices and applications, with features like context information monitoring, parsing, and loading.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a variety of applications and devices are used to provide functionality for communications, scheduling, searching, creating and sharing information, then user capability to create and share information increases, but the ability to consistently store and access content across different applications and devices fails
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal web-based storage system that allows content to be stored and accessed across multiple applications and devices. The system provides a common interface and data model that works consistently whether the user is on a desktop, mobile device, or using different applications, thereby achieving both versatility in information creation and reliability in content access.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a web server and web application document as an intermediary between various applications and devices. This intermediary layer provides a standardized interface for storing and retrieving content, allowing diverse applications to interact with a unified storage system without direct integration between each application and device.
2Ease of manufacture
If HTML-style web pages are used for storing content, then web page creation and storage is enabled, but support for varied forms of context accessible by different web-based applications fails
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the web application document into distinct components including content, context information, and metadata. This segmentation allows the system to maintain simple HTML-style web pages for basic content storage while simultaneously supporting varied forms of context through separate, structured data elements that can be accessed by different web-based applications.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a composite data structure that combines traditional HTML content with additional context information and metadata. This composite web application document maintains the simplicity of HTML for content creation while incorporating structured data elements that provide varied context accessible by different applications, effectively combining multiple data types into a unified structure.
Data Source
AI summary
An improved system and method for supporting web system services is provided for storing data and context of client applications on the web. A client application may include a web system services interface for invoking web system services to support web applications to operate over the web using different devices that may store data and context of web applications as a web application document onto a web server. A web application document may be represented by components that may include view information, content, and context information. The application may also include a web system services user interface for providing a graphical user interface for a user to invoke web system services that may include a new document system service, a store document system service, and a restore document system service. A schema for context scope may be implemented for collecting context information relevant to the web application document.
