Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional web page browsing is prone to misoperations and has poor robustness, as entire pages are often refreshed unnecessarily, leading to disconnection of resources during operations like video playback or data entry.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that control specific resources on a web page to remain connected, allowing for partial updates and retention of resources during operations like back, refresh, and hyperlink creation, ensuring continuous display without full page reloads.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional refresh operation is performed to refresh the entire page, then the page resources are updated, but the video and other real-time resources are disconnected and need to be reloaded

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverobustness of page browsingVSAvoidtime for resource reconnection
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the web page into multiple independent resource domains, allowing selective refresh of specific domains while maintaining connections to others. The browser identifies which resource domains need updating and which should remain connected, enabling partial page refresh without affecting real-time resources like video streams.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts real-time resources (video, audio, sensor data) from the general page refresh process by maintaining their connections separately. These resources are excluded from the standard refresh operation, allowing them to continue streaming without disconnection while other page elements are updated.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Reliability

If conventional refresh operation is performed, then the page is updated, but misoperations occur such as accidental refresh during data entry

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverobustness against misoperationsVSAvoiduser operation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic refresh behavior that adapts to the current user context. The system monitors the user's current interaction state and dynamically adjusts whether a refresh operation should proceed, block, or be modified based on what resources are currently being used, preventing misoperations while maintaining ease of use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces feedback mechanisms where the system monitors resource usage states and provides information about what will be affected by a refresh operation. This allows the system to make intelligent decisions about whether to allow, block, or modify refresh operations based on real-time resource connection status and user activity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
