Website Element Registry for Reducing Network Overhead
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current web technologies result in inefficient network overhead, processing resources, and memory usage, as user devices receive and process entire sets of possible webpage elements, even if only a subset is rendered, leading to increased latency and degraded user experience.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a system that uses registries to selectively load website elements, where a user device requests and receives only the necessary code for website elements from a registry host based on feature flags, reducing the amount of data processed and improving load times.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a user device receives all possible webpage elements, then the webpage can be fully rendered, but network overhead and data processing increase
Solution Approach 1:
The webpage elements are segmented into a complete set of possible elements and a subset of rendered elements. The system transmits only the necessary subset to the user device, while maintaining the ability to access other elements from the registry if needed. This segmentation reduces network overhead by avoiding transmission of unused elements while preserving webpage rendering completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts only the necessary subset of webpage elements from the complete set and transmits them to the user device. The registry stores the full set of possible elements, allowing selective extraction and transmission of only what is needed for current rendering, thereby reducing network overhead while maintaining rendering completeness.
2Reliability
If a user device processes all possible webpage elements, then all elements can be rendered, but processing resources and memory usage increase
Solution Approach 1:
Processing is segmented into two stages: the user device processes only the subset of elements received for current rendering, while the registry maintains the complete set of possible elements. This division reduces the processing burden on the user device while preserving the ability to access additional elements if needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system extracts and transmits only the necessary subset of elements to the user device for processing and rendering. The registry retains the full set of possible elements, allowing selective extraction based on what is actually needed, thereby reducing memory usage and processing resources on the user device.
3Reliability
If all webpage elements are loaded, then the webpage is complete, but latency increases
Solution Approach 1:
The complete set of possible webpage elements is prepared in advance and stored in the registry. When a user requests a webpage, only the necessary subset is extracted and transmitted, allowing faster loading. The registry maintains pre-prepared elements that can be quickly delivered without requiring real-time generation or processing of all possible elements.
Solution Approach 2:
The system extracts and transmits only the necessary subset of elements from the registry rather than transmitting all possible elements. This selective extraction significantly reduces the amount of data that needs to be transmitted and processed, thereby reducing latency while maintaining webpage completeness through the scaffold structure.
4Adaptability or versatility
If a registry stores all possible website elements, then element selection flexibility increases, but registry size and access overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The registry stores the complete set of possible webpage elements, providing full element selection flexibility. However, only the necessary subset is extracted and transmitted to each user device based on their specific needs. This approach maintains adaptability and versatility while reducing the actual data transferred and processed.
Solution Approach 2:
The registry serves multiple functions: it stores the complete set of possible elements for future use, acts as a source for selective extraction based on feature flags and user needs, and provides a centralized repository that can serve multiple user devices. This multi-functionality maximizes adaptability while managing registry size efficiently.
Data Source
AI summary
In some implementations, a user device may receive, from a website host, a webpage encoding a scaffold with a set of slots. The user device may transmit, to a registry host, a request for website elements from a set of possible website elements. The user device may receive, from the registry host and in response to the request for website elements, code for a subset of website elements from the set of possible website elements. The user device may output the subset of website elements in the set of slots.
