Web Link Association Verification via Text Recognition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In web systems where clickable areas are linked to URLs, manual association and verification by site operators can lead to errors, requiring significant manual effort and time.
Innovation Solution
A determination device and method that automatically obtain link source information, recognize characters within clickable areas, and compare them with content associated with the URLs to verify the correctness of the association, including error messaging and automatic URI registration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual association and verification of clickable areas with URLs is performed by site operators, then the system can establish link associations, but errors in association occur and significant manual effort and time are required
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automatic self-verification by extracting text from clickable areas, retrieving linked content via URLs, and comparing them autonomously without requiring manual operator intervention for each link check
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides automatic feedback by comparing extracted text with linked content and identifying mismatches, allowing the system to self-correct or alert operators only to specific errors rather than requiring comprehensive manual verification
2Ease of manufacture
If manual association of clickable areas with URLs is performed, then link associations can be established, but association errors occur
Solution Approach 1:
The verification system provides automatic feedback on association correctness by comparing extracted text with linked content, allowing operators to immediately identify and correct errors while maintaining ease of manual link creation
Solution Approach 2:
The system autonomously performs verification checks on newly created links, providing self-service quality control that maintains reliability without adding complexity to the link creation process
3Reliability
If comprehensive manual testing of link associations is performed, then association correctness can be verified, but operational workload increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system autonomously performs comprehensive verification of all link associations by extracting text, retrieving content, and comparing them automatically, maintaining high reliability without requiring proportional manual testing effort
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces manual mechanical verification processes with automated information processing, using computer-based text extraction, URL resolution, and comparison algorithms to maintain productivity while ensuring association correctness

AI summary
A determination device includes an image obtaining unit for obtaining an image in a linked area associated with an URL, a linked-to page obtaining unit for obtaining, from storing means for storing content, a linked-to page specified by the URL associated with the linked area, and a character determination unit for determining correctness of association between the linked area and the URL based on the image obtained by the image obtaining unit and the linked-to page obtained by the linked-to page obtaining unit.
