Solution Overview

Problem

Mobile display devices with limited screen size and processing capability struggle to effectively display and process full web page content, requiring users to manually manipulate and repeat content adjustments for optimal viewing, which is inefficient.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that utilize a transformation file to customize web page content by transforming objects in terms of position, scale, or rotation, allowing for automatic optimization of content display on mobile devices without affecting non-object content, using a server or client-side transformation server to preprocess and deliver optimized web pages.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If web page content is displayed on mobile display devices with limited screen size, then content visibility is reduced, but manual zooming and scrolling operations increase user effort and time consumption

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay screen areaVSAvoidcontent viewing operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary transformation of web page content by detecting objects using image recognition technology and pre-calculating transformation parameters (position, scale, rotation) before display. This preliminary action eliminates the need for users to manually zoom or scroll, as the content is automatically optimized for the mobile device screen size and orientation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a transformation file as an intermediary between the web page content and the display device. This transformation file contains pre-computed transformation parameters that mediate the display process, allowing the system to automatically adjust content presentation without requiring direct user manipulation of the displayed content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If users manually manipulate content to achieve desired viewing experience, then content visibility improves, but the process must be repeated each time the page is accessed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent visibilityVSAvoidcontent adjustment time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs object detection and transformation parameter calculation in advance, storing these parameters in a transformation file. When the web page is accessed again, the pre-computed parameters are directly applied, eliminating the need for users to repeat the content manipulation process and saving time on subsequent visits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by automatically applying transformation parameters to web page content without requiring user intervention. The transformation file contains all necessary information for the system to autonomously adjust content display based on device characteristics, freeing users from repetitive manual adjustments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Manufacturing precision

If transformation parameters are stored for each object in web page content, then content customization precision improves, but data storage and processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent transformation precisionVSAvoidtransformation file complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent represents transformation parameters using standardized mathematical transformations (translation, rotation, scaling) with specific parameters (position coordinates, rotation angles, scale factors). This parameterization approach enables precise control over object transformation while maintaining a compact and manageable transformation file structure that can be efficiently stored and processed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A computer implemented method and apparatus for customizing web page display by receiving a web page comprising content for display upon a display device and receiving a transformation file comprising information associated with transforming an object within the content with regard to at least one of position, scale or rotation. Based upon the information in the transformation file, the object is transformed with regard to at least one of position, scale or rotation, while not transforming content that is not part of the object. The web page is displayed having the object transformed in accordance with the transformation file.
