Web Component Discovery for Shared Client-Server Rendering
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing web application technologies require multiple data structures for client and server-side rendering, leading to inefficient use of computing resources and the need for separate version management and updates.
Innovation Solution
A web application component discovery device that facilitates the sharing of a single web application component data structure across different devices, enabling simultaneous rendering on both client and server sides, thereby reducing the need for duplicate data structures and optimizing resource usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separate data structures are used for client-side and server-side rendering, then each side can independently manage its rendering process, but computing resources are wasted due to duplication and version management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the client-side and server-side data structures into a single shared data structure that both sides reference. This eliminates the need for separate version management while allowing both client and server to independently render from the same source of truth, thereby reducing complexity without sacrificing independent rendering capability
Solution Approach 2:
The single shared data structure serves multiple functions: it acts as the source for client-side rendering, the source for server-side rendering, and the single version control repository. This multi-functional approach eliminates the need for separate version management systems for different rendering contexts
2Manufacturing precision
If multiple data structures are maintained for different rendering contexts, then each context has optimized data, but computing resources are consumed by duplication and updates must be propagated to multiple instances
Solution Approach 1:
By combining multiple data structures into one shared data structure, the patent eliminates redundant data storage and processing. Both client and server render from the same optimized structure, maintaining rendering precision while halving the computational resources required for data maintenance and update propagation
3Ease of operation
If separate data structures are used for client and server rendering, then each can be updated independently, but synchronization becomes complex and resource-intensive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges update operations into a single process where changes are made to the shared data structure once, and both client and server automatically receive the updated version. This maintains ease of operation through centralized update management while eliminating the energy costs associated with propagating changes across multiple separate data structures
Data Source
AI summary
A web application component discovery device receives, from an application server device, a first location request associated with a web application component; identifies, using the first location request, a location of the web application component; and sends, to the application server device, first information indicating the location of the web application. This allows the application server device to obtain and render a first copy of the web application component. The web application component discovery device receives, from a user device, a second location request associated with the web application component; identifies, using the second location request, the location of the web application component; and sends, to the user device, second information indicating the location of the web application component. This allows the user device to obtain and render a second copy of the web application component.
