Web Content Conversion via Rendered Page Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing web site builders lack the capability to import existing web site content, requiring users to start from scratch and resulting in complex, convoluted code that hinders direct importation and search engine optimization.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that analyzes and converts existing web site content by spidering, rendering, scraping, and parsing web pages to generate refined HTML and style sheets, ignoring complex source code, allowing for easier importation into web site builders and improving search engine optimization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If web site builders use proprietary code structures to store content, then the content can be managed through WYSIWYG interfaces, but the code becomes complex and convoluted, hindering direct importation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary conversion system that translates between proprietary web site builder code formats and standard HTML/CSS formats. This mediator enables importation of existing web sites into web site builders without requiring manual reconstruction, while maintaining the benefits of proprietary code structures for content management.
Solution Approach 2:
The conversion process segments the importation task into distinct phases: retrieving existing web site content, analyzing the proprietary code structure, converting to standard formats, and importing into the web site builder. This segmentation makes the complex conversion process manageable and systematic.
2Device complexity
If users manually enter all content into web site builders from scratch, then existing web sites can be rebuilt with optimized code structure, but the process requires significant time and effort
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary conversion of existing web site content into standardized formats before importation. By pre-processing the content and structuring it appropriately, the system eliminates the need for manual content entry while ensuring the imported content has an optimized, manageable code structure within the web site builder.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a copy of the existing web site content in a standardized format that can be directly imported into the web site builder. This copying approach preserves the original content while transferring it to a more manageable code structure, avoiding the need for manual recreation.
3Productivity
If existing web sites are imported without conversion, then the importation process is simpler, but the complex source code hinders search engine optimization
Solution Approach 1:
The conversion system changes key parameters of the web site code during importation, transforming proprietary formats into standard HTML/CSS with optimized structures. This parameter transformation maintains importation efficiency while improving search engine optimization through cleaner, more standardized code that search engines can better parse and index.
Data Source
AI summary
A system and method for converting and importing web site content are presented. A web page is rendered to create a rendered web page. The web page may be rendered by at least one server communicatively coupled to a network. The rendered web page is inspected to identify a plurality of display elements. Display attributes are captured for each one of the plurality of display elements in the rendered web page, and mark-up code is generated using the display attributes for each one of the plurality of display elements.
