Web Document Content Association with Address Information
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
When users attempt to share or edit information from a web document, copying a URL only captures text from the document, making it difficult for recipients to identify the intended information without accessing the web document directly.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device and method that, upon selecting address information related to a web document, stores and shares the selected contents along with the address information, allowing users to easily recognize the included information by displaying or transmitting both together.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If only URL text is copied from a web document, then the copy operation is simple and fast, but the receiving user cannot identify the intended information without accessing the web document directly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the URL address information with selected content elements (images, text, videos) into a single data structure. When a user selects content on a web page, the system automatically extracts and stores both the URL and the selected content elements together, creating a unified copy that contains both location and context information.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary extraction and storage of content elements from the web document before the copy operation is completed. By pre-processing the web page content and storing it in association with the URL, the system prepares the information in advance so that when copying occurs, both the address and content are readily available together without requiring additional processing at the moment of copying.
2Loss of information
If users click the displayed URL or input it into an address bar to access the web document, then they can identify the information, but this requires additional time and operations
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of requiring users to access the original web document through the URL, the system creates and stores a local copy of the content elements (images, text, videos) along with the URL. This copied content can be displayed directly to the user, eliminating the need to navigate to the external web page and reducing access time while preserving information identification.
3Loss of information
If the electronic device stores selected contents in association with address information, then information recognition is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service functionality where the electronic device automatically detects selected content elements, extracts them from the web document, associates them with the URL, and stores them without requiring manual user intervention. The device serves itself by handling the entire process of content identification, extraction, and association automatically, reducing the perceived complexity for the user.
