Description

 Active automatic customization system and method for web application

 The present invention relates to a mobile internet application that interacts with a web application, and particularly relates to a timely business automation customization technology. The system responds to a user-specified web application request, and according to the existing user and related information of the application. Filter out other target web applications that the user is most likely to need, and embed the target application's parameter information (including business processes and work logic) into the returned response content for the user to choose to execute. This enables proactive and timely delivery of accurate and personalized web applications to mobile device users. This technology enables more Internet application providers to actively serve the required target users, while also allowing mobile terminal users to perform more operations (such as input, selection, and memory) without further manipulation. Tailored and prepared web applications, user satisfaction and expectations are improved. Background technique

 Mobile devices can be used as a new Internet access terminal, not just for voice communication, which is widely recognized by users. And because of its unique features, such as mobile, anytime, anywhere, security, uniqueness and personalization, it has the function of enhancing Internet applications, and it has become another popular way for users to surf the Internet. However, due to some limitations of the mobile device itself, such as memory and processor, data storage space, bandwidth, instability of communication connections, too small display screen, and inconvenient keyboard input, it limits most practicalities. Internet applications are used on mobile devices. At present, most mobile Internet applications are limited to simple entertainment content (such as mobile value-added services, SMS and WAP applications), or some proprietary business functions such as Mobi le Email and mobile browser client applications.

 Due to the single technical function of the SMS client itself, the limitation of 70 Chinese character transmissions, command input rather than graphical user interaction, etc., it is too simple to limit the functions that can provide services.

WAP client applications, software development based on specialized technical specifications, development cycle and other development costs increase, hinder most websites from developing WAP versions; can provide a single form of application interaction, lack of diversity and flexibility; offline browsing In this way, user access delays and interruptions due to unstable network connections cannot be avoided or handled in a friendly manner. As a result, the number of WAP services provided by the current market is much smaller than that of web applications, which cannot meet user requirements. Client applications with proprietary business functions, user interface is personalized, business function experience is relatively good, but mobile devices have limited download and installation of client software and management capabilities, and it is difficult to meet the growing needs of users and the market. Most of the similar application technology cores are from copying the PC Internet. The mobile phone is only forcibly modified to adapt to the limited mobile phone. There is some optimization, but the current situation is that it can not achieve the PC effect, and ignore the unique z of the mobile phone itself. Stand out. If you try to imitate the PC Internet, you will be wrongly guiding the user to look at the PC Internet habits, and the result will only be a more passive situation for the application. Although the browser client enables the mobile device to have access to the web site, the business function experience is difficult to compare with the PC Internet, and the unique functions of the PC are not played and embodied. Current mobile browser clients generally use techniques such as overall scaling (including information content and user interface), split page transmission, and partial deletion. The overall zooming causes the user's eyes to zoom, causing visual fatigue, and the screen display information and interface component density are relatively large, resulting in poor readability, requiring the user to concentrate on reading consciously, increasing efforts, increasing visual search time, and being prone to f Fatigue; split page transmission makes the overall feeling poor, increases the user's memory burden and easily causes distraction; partial deletion causes a lack of incoherence, which makes the user confused, and even doubts the reliability of the application. Considering that the above limitations of mobile devices are not improved in the short term, but satisfy the conditions required for normal access to the current Internet f, blind waiting is not a proactive way of working, then empathy, allowing the Internet to adapt to mobile devices, such as Sharing computing load and storage, instead of completing some operations, such as input, selection, decision, etc., to reduce user interaction, memory and cognitive load, and timely guidance to users, will be another feasible solution to solve the problem. The solution from the above analysis is a streamlined and intelligent Internet that works together with a unified mobile client, and third-party web application providers do not need or excessively develop secondary; only the most accurate and refined information, At the right time and place, it will be transmitted to the designated user equipment; the remote system will perform automatic calculation and analysis instead of completing part of the user's operation and thinking work; and the work that needs to be done on the mobile device is mainly focused on receiving, Display results or some hint data.

There aren't many smart Internet applications yet, so current applications require special handling before porting to mobile devices. The unified data output format is the primary prerequisite for intelligentization. There is no unified data format standard for mobile devices. The RSS in the prior art is relatively uniform and suitable for mobile device data formats. The website supports RSS technology. This is a unified joint synchronous content format, a lightweight and compact XML format, user-customized, and active push feature, which is very suitable as the basic content format for transmitting information on the mobile Internet. Then, based on the RSS technology-based data format, actively outputting the other third-party web application output to the RSS format will make it possible to provide a batch web application to the mobile device. One of the problems is that the current Joint Synchronized Content Feed (FEED) technology, as a drag-and-drop content delivery channel to end users, is a one-way publishing method, but it is mainly used to complete information from information sources. The one-way flow of the user, the feedback of the user's information to the information source, although there are standards and applications, has not yet been popularized. For the user, they can do something related to the content while viewing the information. For example, a user just got an eBAY auction information from his mobile phone, he wants to contact the bidder and other bidding users immediately, or he wants to change his auction entry. As another example, a user can find the required ticket information on his or her mobile phone, and he hopes to establish a connection directly with the ticketing provider to reserve or purchase the ticket directly. Another example is that when the user receives the lost child information on the mobile phone and the user has the lost child information, they want to be able to contact the reporting center immediately. Another problem is that mobile terminal users cannot easily redirect to web applications related to the content they are browsing, just like a PC user. For example, when a user browses information on a PC, if they perform other operations related to the information, they can select some search engines, such as YAH00, GOOGLE to obtain the website address of the corresponding service, or turn to the related links contained in some browsing information content. To the website that provides the corresponding service. However, for mobile terminal users, due to some resource limitations on the terminal and the lack of mobile web applications that require feature development, they are unable to obtain the required services immediately. In response to the above problem, based on the synchronization mechanism, the selected target web application service information is embedded into the federated feed content information, and it is not only possible to extend the technology of the joint information feed to a complex enterprise application, and simultaneously complete multiple web applications. Cooperation between the two. Based on the above considerations, there is a need for an automated central process control application that proactively proactively provides a personalized web application for mobile users, and the web application is derived from an Internet third party application service provider. Summary of the invention

In the following, we will elaborate and explain the specific embodiment of the present invention. According to the purpose of the present invention, an active computing method is proposed, which is tailored to each mobile device user's comprehensive situation while satisfying the user's specified service requirements, and the system automatically searches for a specific target web application. And provide the user terminal in time for predictable user demand time. This has added a new distribution channel to many web application providers, making it possible for them to target users more accurately and to provide services to mobile users in a proactive manner. In accordance with the present invention, an automated method is proposed for customizing the interception of requirements, directing the user to complete the subscription, and performing the execution of the application by the system agent through the formation of a series of web-based service workflows. For example, on one of the sub-process lines, between the remote central system and the mobile terminal user, the system listens to the end user service request in real time, and automatically searches for other related webs most suitable for the user according to the accumulated user and web service data in real time. The application, combined with the response of the service request, is returned, or pushed to the user system by the system at another appropriate time; and in another sub-process, the system is intercepted by the system between the central system and each third-party web application system. The web application provider complies with a certain standard business registration and update request, and periodically checks the validity of the registered service address URL link and function. According to the purpose of the present invention, a method for estimating user service requirements is proposed, which infers the services that the user needs to complete next, and provides corresponding services at an appropriate time. Specifically, the selection of the target web service is based on the current request and other related information initiated by the user. For example, when a user obtains notification information about a traffic failure from a mobile phone, he may wish to obtain some other map navigation or address information on the mobile phone at the same time, thereby bypassing the traffic failure location. The end user system retrieves the response XML file returned by the remote system, finds the "OFFERLIST ENTRY" element, the relevant web application parameters embedded internally, and prompts the user to "OFFER" recommended menu options, and the subordinate option "Local search", "Local Weather", for the user to choose to perform the corresponding business function.

• One embodiment of the present invention is that the web application tailored and recommended to the user is performed in a dynamic environment in which the system operates, such as when the user conducts business operations, rather than developing or maintaining the environment. This makes the system ensure that the recommended web service must be the most suitable for the user at the current time. At the same time, the web service can be called and executed immediately on the mobile terminal, without software configuration, development and upgrade. Another embodiment of the present invention is that the user can provide a personalized web application service, the selection of the target web application, according to the user's comprehensive situation when the system is running, such as the user's input request, and the user information grasped by some systems. Including user profile, user pre-set parameters, etc.; and related information about the web application that the user is using, including content correlation between web services, service interdependence, is established according to the natural law of species continuation and classification The relationship index, the user's voting ranking, the application is collected statistics, expert advice and predictions and other related information, calculations and comprehensive analysis and retrieval. This allows end-user systems to increase the effectiveness and accuracy of business usage and reduce unnecessary input > selection and search times. Moreover, this not only improves the user's acceptance and satisfaction with the recommended web industry, but also enables each web application provider to accurately target the target user. Another specific embodiment is that the central divergent service is provided to a core business. For the origin, connect other depth customization Different services are available for users to choose according to their own needs, which not only meets the requirements of mobile systems, but also meets the individual needs of users, and achieves multi-functional dynamic balance as a whole. Another specific embodiment is that the user interface interaction is transparent and straightforward, without excessive menu selection or command input interface operations. Visual cues are used to form user psychological interventions, enhance user guidance, visual focus, primary and secondary visual focus, and return user attention to the task itself. System operation is consistent, simplifying application operations and improving usage efficiency. Another specific embodiment is that the present invention proposes a customized unified feed mobile description file data format, and aims to provide a unified synchronous content information format for mobile devices. The source information requested by the user, the XML content format of the format specification returned from a plurality of different synchronous content formats, or other web application responses, is converted into a customized unified federated source mobile together with the target web application parameter information. Description file. This invention is responding to the following strategy: A single thin client corresponds to a large number of web application services, and is better suited for client applications on mobile handheld devices, taking into account the resource limitations of mobile handheld devices, multiple operating systems Different operating platforms, different operating environments, and special settings of equipment manufacturers. In the present invention, the XML content of the third-party web application server in response to the returned format specification is automatically converted into a unified federated source mobile version format. This allows some complex web applications (such as e-commerce) processes to directly serve mobile handheld devices without additional software development work. Various features and advantages of the present invention are described in further detail in the following description of the specification. ' Description of the drawings
