[0013] The following description of related art is intended to provide background information pertaining to the field of the disclosure. This section mayinclude certain aspects of the art that may be related to various features of the present disclosure. However, it should be appreciated that this section be used only to enhance the understanding of the reader with respect to the present disclosure, and not as admissions of prior art.

[0014] The present invention relates to the field of user interface management in software applications, particularly addressing the challenges associated with dynamic customization and real-time updating of user interfaces.

[0015] Traditional application development typically follows a structured release cycle, where any changes or updates to the application require the deployment of an updated version through application stores. However, this conventional approach is associated with several challenges that can significantly impact the development process and user experience.

[0016] One of the primary issues with the traditional release model is the slow-release cycles. The approval procedures enforced by application stores can introduce substantial delays in deploying new versions of an application. This means that implementing User Interface (UI) changes or introducing feature updates frequently can be a time-consuming process, as developers need to wait for each update to be reviewed and approved before it can be made available to users. This delay can lead to a significant lag between identifying necessary changes and actually implementing them, potentially affecting the application's competitiveness and user satisfaction.

[0017] Another drawback of the conventional approach is the burden of unnecessary app updates on users. With the traditional release model, users are often required to download entire application updates even if the changes only affect a small portion of the UI or functionality. This can result in unnecessary downloads and consume valuable storage space on users' devices, leading to potential frustration and dissatisfaction among users. Moreover, frequent largeupdates can deter users from keeping the application up-to-date, potentially missing critical improvements or security patches.

[0018] Furthermore, existing solutions often provide limited UI flexibility. Static UI elements within the application may not be adaptable enough to cater to different user roles or accommodate varying user needs. As a result, users may encounter limitations in customizing the application interface according to their preferences or accessing specific features tailored to their requirements. This lack of flexibility can lead to a suboptimal user experience, particularly in applications that serve diverse user bases with varying needs and preferences.

[0019] The inability to make real-time changes to the user interface without going through a full release cycle also poses significant challenges. In rapidly evolving business environments, the need to quickly adapt the UI to changing requirements or user feedback is crucial. However, the traditional approach makes it difficult to implement such agile changes, potentially leading to missed opportunities or delayed responses to user needs.

[0020] Additionally, troubleshooting and resolving Ul-related issues in live applications can be cumbersome with conventional systems. The lack of real-time analysis and adjustment capabilities can result in prolonged periods where users experience interface problems, negatively impacting user satisfaction and potentially the application's reputation.

[0021] Conventional systems and methods face difficulty in providing dynamic, role-based UI customization, real-time updates without full release cycles, and efficient troubleshooting mechanisms for live applications. There is, therefore, a need in the art to provide a method and a system that can overcome the shortcomings of the existing prior arts.

[0022] It is therefore an objective of the present invention to provide a system and method that allows for real-time customization, updates, and troubleshooting, thereby overcoming the above-mentioned disadvantages in the field.SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0066] The various embodiments throughout the disclosure will be explained in more detail with reference to FIGS. 1-6.

[0067] FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary network architecture (100) of a system (108) for dynamically managing a user interface, in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0068] As illustrated in FIG. 1, one or more computing devices (104-1, 104- 2...104-N) may be connected to the system (108) for dynamically managing the user interface through a network (106). A person of ordinary skill in the art will understand that the one or more computing devices (104-1, 104-2...104-N) may be collectively referred to as computing devices (104) and individually referred to as a computing device (104). One or more users (102-1, 102-2...102-N) may provide one or more requests to the system (108). A person of ordinary skill in the art willunderstand that the one or more users (102-1, 102-2...102-N) may be collectively referred to as users (102) and individually referred to as a user (102).

[0069] In an embodiment, the computing device (104) may include, but not be limited to, a mobile phone, a laptop, etc. Further, the computing device (104) may include one or more in-built or externally coupled accessories including, but not limited to, a visual aid device such as a camera, audio aid, microphone, or keyboard. Furthermore, the computing device (104) may include a smartphone, virtual reality (VR) devices, augmented reality (AR) devices, a general-purpose computer, a desktop, a personal digital assistant, a tablet computer, and a mainframe computer. Additionally, input devices for receiving input from the user (102) such as a touchpad, touch-enabled screen, electronic pen, and the like may be used.

[0070] In an embodiment, the network (106) may include, by way of example but not limitation, at least a portion of one or more networks having one or more nodes that transmit, receive, forward, generate, buffer, store, route, switch, process, or a combination thereof, etc. one or more messages, packets, signals, waves, voltage or current levels, some combination thereof, or so forth. The network (106) may also include, by way of example but not limitation, one or more of a wireless network, a wired network, an internet, an intranet, a public network, a private network, a packet-switched network, a circuit-switched network, an ad hoc network, an infrastructure network, a 4G network, a 5G network, or some combination thereof.

[0071] In an embodiment, the system (108) may continuously monitor user interface configurations and user interactions. The system may then allow customization of the user interface based on user profiles and created user roles. The system (108) may generate customized user interface configurations based on the user-defined parameters. If updates are needed, the system may reconfigure the user interface in real-time and provide these updates to the relevant computing devices (104) for immediate implementation.

[0072] In an embodiment, the system (108) may receive a first set of parameters (user-defined parameters), also referred to as one or more inputs, from the one or more computing devices (104) associated with the one or more users (102). These inputs can be categorized into three main types. First, UI interaction inputs include selections of buttons, menus, or other UI elements within the web application, providing insights into how users navigate and interact with the interface. Second, data inputs encompass search queries, filter selections, or any other data entered by the user (102) within the application, offering valuable information about user preferences and information needs. Lastly, device information inputs include details such as the operating system and screen size of the computing device (104), enabling the system (108) to tailor the user interface to specific device characteristics. By collecting and analyzing these diverse inputs, the system (108) can dynamically adapt the user interface to better suit individual user needs, improve usability across different devices, and enhance overall user experience.

[0073] Although FIG. 1 shows exemplary components of the network architecture (100), in other embodiments, the network architecture (100) may include fewer components, different components, differently arranged components, or additional functional components than depicted in FIG. 1. Additionally, or alternatively, one or more components of the network architecture (100) may perform functions described as being performed by one or more other components of the network architecture (100).

[0074] FIG. 2 illustrates an example block diagram (200) of the system (108) for dynamically managing the user interface, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0075] Referring to FIG. 2, in an embodiment, the system (108) may include one or more processor(s) (202). The one or more processor(s) (202) may beimplemented as one or more microprocessors, microcomputers, microcontrollers, digital signal processors, central processing units, logic circuitries, and / or any devices that process data based on operational instructions. Among other capabilities, the one or more processor(s) (202) may be configured to fetch and execute computer-readable instructions stored in a memory (204) of the system (108). The memory (204) may be configured to store one or more computer- readable instructions or routines in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium, which may be fetched and executed to dynamically manage user interfaces and create customized user interface configurations. The memory (204) may comprise any non-transitory storage device including, for example, volatile memory such as random-access memory (RAM), or non-volatile memory such as erasable programmable read only memory (EPROM), flash memory, and the like.

[0076] In an embodiment, the system (108) may include an interface(s) (206). The interface(s) (206) may comprise a variety of interfaces, for example, interfaces for data input and output devices (I / O), storage devices, and the like. The interface(s) (206) may facilitate communication through the system (108). The interface(s) (206) may also provide a communication pathway for one or more components of the system (108). Examples of such components include, but are not limited to, processing module(s) (208), a database (210) for storing user interface configurations and user profiles. Further, the processing module(s) (208) may include a communication module (214) and other module(s) (216). In an embodiment, the other module(s) (216) may include, but not be limited to, a user profile management module, an input / output module, and a user interface configuration generation module.

[0077] The communication module (214) may receive access requests from computing devices (104) and transmit customized user interface configurations. The system (108) may allow generation and modification of user interface configurations based on user profiles and created user roles. The one or more processors (202) may generate customized user interface configurations based onthe user profiles and roles and transmit these configurations for rendering on the computing device (104).

[0078] In an embodiment, the processing module(s) (208) may be implemented as a combination of hardware and programming (for example, programmable instructions) to implement one or more functionalities of the processing module(s) (208). In the examples described herein, such combinations of hardware and programming may be implemented in several different ways. For example, the programming for the processing module(s) (208) may be processorexecutable instructions stored on a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, and the hardware for the processing module(s) (208) may comprise a processing resource (for example, one or more processors), to execute such instructions. In the present examples, the machine-readable storage medium may store instructions that, when executed by the processing resource, implement the processing module(s) (208). In such examples, the system (108) may comprise the machine-readable storage medium storing the instructions and the processing resource to execute the instructions, or the machine-readable storage medium may be separate but accessible to the system (108) and the processing resource. In other examples, the processing module(s) (208) may be implemented by electronic circuitry.

[0079] As illustrated in Figure 2, the one or more processors (202) may be configured to execute a set of instructions stored in the memory (204) to perform various operations for dynamically managing a user interface.

[0080] In the context of this disclosure, a user interface may be defined as the point of interaction between the user and a software application, typically comprising visual elements such as buttons, menus, input fields, and displays through which the user interacts with and controls the application. Dynamic management of the user interface may refer to the ability of the system (108) tomodify, update, or reconfigure these interface elements in real-time based on several factors such as user roles, preferences, or system requirements.

[0081] The system (108) may maintain a set of user profiles in the memory (204). Each user profile may be associated with one or more user interface configurations and one or more created user roles. A user profile may be defined as a collection of data associated with a specific user, including personal information, preferences, and historical interaction data. User interface configurations may refer to specific arrangements and settings of interface elements, while user roles may define sets of permissions and access levels within the application.

[0082] For example, in a customer relationship management (CRM) application, a user profile for a sales representative might include personal details, sales performance history, and preferred dashboard layout. The associated user role might be "Sales Rep," which defines access to customer data and sales tools. The user interface configuration for this profile might specify a dashboard with prominent displays of sales targets, customer contacts, and recent activities.

[0083] The one or more created user roles may define access permissions and interface preferences for users. For instance, an "Administrator" role might have permission to access all system features and data, while a "Viewer" role might only have read-only access to certain reports. These roles may be created and modified by the system administrators to reflect the organizational structure and security requirements of the entity using the application. In an embodiment, the one or more created user roles are configured to define interface preferences for the users (102), wherein the interface preferences represent user-specific customization settings applied to user interface elements. The interface preferences may include user-specific choices for layout configurations, visible widgets, themes, language preferences, data display formats, and interactive components. The system (108) dynamically applies the interface preferences to generate a customized user interface configuration based on the associated user profile and created user roles.

[0084] The system (108) is configured to receive an access request from a user via an application operable on the computing device (104). The computing device in this context may refer to any electronic device capable of running the application and connecting to the system, such as a desktop computer, laptop, tablet, smartphone, or specialized terminal. The application may be a software program designed to perform specific tasks or functions, which utilizes the dynamically managed user interface.

[0085] Upon receiving this request, the system (108) is configured to generate a customized user interface configuration. The customized user interface configuration may be based on the user profile and the associated one or more created user roles corresponding to the access request. For example, if a user with a "Manager" role logs into a project management application, the system (108) might generate a configuration that includes a high-level project overview dashboard, team performance metrics, and access to approval workflows. The customized user interface configuration refers to an arrangement of elements within the user interface based on specific criteria such as the user profile and the user role. In an example, the customized user interface configuration may be related to layout and components, content and information, functionality and access, and visual design. The arrangement and selection of UI elements such as menus, buttons, widgets, and panels are adjusted to suit the user's needs and tasks. For example, the manager might see different dashboard components compared to a regular team member. The content displayed within the UI is customized to provide relevant information based on the user's role and preferences. This could include different data views, summaries, or detailed analytics based on what is most useful to the user in their role.

[0086] The functionalities available to the user are tailored to match their responsibilities and permissions. This ensures that users only see and can interact with features that are pertinent to their tasks and permissions. Customization may be extended to the visual design aspects such as colour schemes, fonts, and overallaesthetics. This helps in creating the UI that is not only functional but also visually appealing and aligned with organizational branding or user preferences. In an example, the manager logging into a project management application might see a dashboard that prominently displays high-level project summaries, team performance metrics, and options to initiate or approve workflows. In contrast, a team member without managerial roles might have a dashboard focused more on their specific tasks, project updates relevant to their role, and access to team collaboration tools.

[0087] The customized user interface configuration may be transmitted to the computing device (104) via a communication module (214). The communication module (214) may be a software or hardware component responsible for managing data transfer between the system (108) and connected devices. The customized user interface configuration may utilize a variety of network protocols and technologies, including but not limited to Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), WebSocket, Transmission Control Protocol / Intemet Protocol (TCP / IP), or proprietary protocols. These protocols ensure reliable and secure transmission of data.

[0088] The computing device (104) may be configured to enable a user interface rendering module for rendering a real-time user interface on the computing device (104) based on the received customized user interface configuration. The user interface rendering module may be a software component responsible for interpreting the configuration data and generating the visual elements of the interface. The user interface rendering module may be a software component responsible for interpreting the configuration data and generating the visual elements of the interface. It may use technologies such as Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and JavaScript for web applications, or native UI frameworks for mobile or desktop applications.

[0089] The system (108) may store one or more user interface widget configurations in the database (210). In this context, a 'widget' refers to an individual component of a user interface that fulfills a specific function, examples of which include buttons, input fields, charts, or menus. The database (210) is characterized as a structured repository of data, which can be implemented using diverse database management systems such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or other suitable systems. The choice of a database system is contingent upon the specific operational needs and requirements of the system in question. In an example, the one or more user interface widget configurations may denote one or more parameters defining the appearance, behaviour, and functionality of individual components within a software interface. The one or more user interface widget configurations encompass aspects such as visual styling (e.g., color, size), interactive behaviour (e.g., response to user inputs), positioning within the interface layout, data handling (e.g., data sources, display formats), accessibility features, and options for customization. The one or more user interface widget configurations are instrumental in tailoring the user experience, ensuring usability across different devices and user roles, and aligning with the functional requirements of the application. The one or more user interface widget configurations are stored in the database (210), facilitating efficient management and retrieval for rendering the interface components.

[0090] The one or more user interface widget configurations may comprise one or more parameters for individual user interface elements. The one or more parameters may define high-level customization options and that are applied to user interface elements. The one or more user interface widget configuration acts as a unified data structure encompassing both the one or more parameters to enable dynamic customization of the user interface. The one or more parameters refers to settings such as high-level customization options that define how the user interface elements behave or appear (e.g., theme selection, visibility rules, or layout options). The one or more parameters refers to specific input values or attributes applied to individual user interface elements, such as size, colour, font style, or default values.For example, a configuration for a chart widget might specify the chart type (e.g., bar, line, pie), data source, colour scheme, and interactive features. A configuration for a form widget might define the input fields, validation rules, and submission behaviour.

[0091] Each one or more user interface widget configuration may be associated with one or more user interface configurations and one or more created user roles. This association allows for role-based customization of interface elements. For instance, a "Financial Analyst" role might have access to advanced filtering options in a report widget, while a "Junior Analyst" role might see a simplified version of the same widget.

[0092] The system (108) may continuously monitor (detect) for modifications to the one or more user interface configurations. This monitoring process may involve periodically checking for changes in the database (210), listening for update events triggered by administrative actions, or employing a combination of polling and event-driven mechanisms to detect changes efficiently.

[0093] Upon detecting any modifications, the system (108) may update the one or more user interface widget configurations in the database (210). For example, if an administrator modifies the colour scheme for all charts in the application, the system (108) will update the configurations for all relevant chart widgets in the database (210).

[0094] After updating the one or more user interface widget configurations, the system (108) may transmit the updated one or more user interface widget configurations to the computing device (104) via the communication module (214). The transmission may occur immediately for connected devices or may be queued for delivery when devices next connect to the system (108).

[0095] The user interface rendering module on the computing device may be configured to update the user interface elements in real-time based on the transmitted updates. This may involve re-rendering affected widgets, adjusting layouts, or modifying interactive behaviours of interface elements. For instance, if a button's appearance or functionality is updated, the user interface rendering module would refresh that button in the user interface without requiring a full page reload or application restart.

[0096] In an aspect, the system (108) is configured to analyze the one or more user interface configurations and associated user interactions to identify potential issues. In an example, the system (108) is configured to identify potential issues by systematically detecting elements within the one or more user interface configurations and corresponding user interactions that could lead to usability challenges or inefficiencies. This process utilizes techniques such as pattern recognition, anomaly detection, and statistical analysis of user behaviour data. For instance, it encompasses detecting recurring instances where users may encounter obstacles such as frequent misclicks on a particular button, indicating a potential usability issue. By conducting such analyses, the system (108) aims to proactively highlight areas of the interface that require improvement or adjustment to enhance user experience and operational efficiency. In an example, the potential issues include usability difficulties such as navigation obstacles, visual design flaws like poor contrast or inconsistent layout, functional errors such as unresponsive elements, performance concerns including slow responsiveness, accessibility barriers for users with disabilities, user errors due to unclear instructions, inconsistencies across the interface, and compatibility problems across various devices and platforms.

[0097] Based on this analysis, the system (108) may generate real-time troubleshooting instructions for the application. These instructions may provide specific steps to address identified issues, which could involve tasks like adjusting the size or position of problematic interface elements, clarifying labels orinstructions, or refining the sequence of user interactions. For example, if the system (108) detects instances where users encounter usability challenges such as frequent misclicks on specific interface elements or inconsistencies in user interaction patterns. The system (108) facilitates the generation of real-time troubleshooting instructions tailored to resolve identified issues and enhance overall user experience.

[0098] These troubleshooting instructions may then be transmitted to the computing device (104) via the communication module (214) for execution by the application. The application may interpret these instructions and make necessary adjustments to the user interface or its behaviour in real-time, without requiring user intervention or application updates.

[0099] In some embodiments, the system (108) may be configured to enable dynamic user interface updates and feature handling in mobile and web versions of the application. This capability ensures uniform and cohesive user experiences across diverse platforms and devices. For instance, when a new feature is introduced in the web version of the application, the system (108) can autonomously generate an appropriate interface for this feature in the mobile version. This adaptation considers the distinct screen sizes and interaction methods typical of mobile devices, thereby maintaining consistency in user interface design and functionality across all supported platforms. By enabling such dynamic updates and feature handling, the system (108) enhances usability and accessibility while accommodating the evolving needs of users in an increasingly diverse technological landscape.

[0100] The system (108) may also be configured to customize user interface widgets based on the one or more user interface configurations for the application stored in the system (108). This customization may be performed according to the one or more created user roles. For instance, in a data analytics application, a "Data Scientist" role might see advanced configuration options for a data visualizationwidget, while a "Business User" role might see a simplified version with preset options.

[0101] In certain implementations, the system (108) may allow multiple features to be assigned to a single user by creating and storing multiple feature configurations associated with a single user profile. For example, a user in a content management system might have access to both content creation and moderation features, each with its own set of interface elements and permissions.

[0102] The system (108) may be configured to associate multiple feature sets with a single user profile through the one or more user interface configurations stored in the system (108). This association may be based on the one or more created user roles. For instance, a user with both "Project Manager" and "Financial Analyst" roles might see a combined interface that includes project timeline widgets alongside financial reporting tools.

[0103] In some embodiments, the system (108) may be configured to modify user interface widget appearances across the web and mobile platforms of the application. These modifications may be accomplished by altering queries in the database (210) based on the one or more created user roles. For example, a query might be modified to retrieve a simplified version of a data table for mobile users, or to apply different styling parameters based on the user's role.

[0104] The system (108) may be capable of applying modifications to a production environment of the application without initiating a release cycle. These modifications may be based on the one or more created user roles. This capability allows for rapid updates and changes to the application interface without the need for time-consuming full release processes. For instance, if a new regulatory requirement necessitates an immediate change to a form in a financial application, the system (108) could instantly push this change to the production environment for all affected user roles.

[0105] In certain implementations, the system (108) may be configured to dynamically adjust visibility of user interface elements within the application. This adjustment may be based on the user profile, the associated one or more created user roles, and the one or more user interface configurations stored in the system (108). For example, in a human resources application, a manager might see additional options in an employee profile view that are not visible to regular employees.

[0106] The customized user interface configuration generated by the system(108) may comprise instructions for rendering user interface elements based on user-specific attributes. These attributes may be defined in the user profile and the associated one or more created user roles. For instance, a user's preference for high contrast interfaces due to visual impairment could be stored in their profile, and the interface rendering instructions would incorporate appropriate colour and layout adjustments.

[0107] The system (108) described herein provides a flexible and powerful framework for managing user interfaces in a dynamic and personalized manner. By maintaining user profiles, role-based configurations, and real-time update capabilities, the system (108) offers a responsive and tailored user experience. The ability to make changes without full release cycles and to troubleshoot in real-time results in more efficient application management and improved user satisfaction.

[0108] The granular control over interface elements, coupled with the ability to associate multiple feature sets with a single user profile, allows for complex and nuanced user interfaces that can adapt to a wide variety of use cases and user types.

[0109] By dynamically adjusting the visibility of the user interface elements based on user profiles and roles, the system (108) presents each user with a clean, relevant interface tailored to their specific needs and permissions. This targetedapproach to interface presentation improves user efficiency and reduces confusion or errors related to accessing unauthorized features.

[0110] The real-time analysis and troubleshooting capabilities of the system (108) allow for quick identification and resolution of potential issues, minimizing downtime and user frustration. The ability to push updates and modifications to a production environment without initiating a full release cycle results in more agile and responsive application management.

[0111] The system (108) employs a comprehensive approach to analyze user interface configurations and user interactions to identify potential issues. This includes usage pattern analysis, which tracks how users navigate through the interface, potentially revealing unintuitive paths to essential features. Error rate monitoring is utilized to detect frequently misused user interface elements, while time-on-task measurements help identify workflows that may be inefficient due to UI design. The system (108) further includes capabilities to generate heat maps, which visualize user interactions by identifying high and low engagement areas within the user interface. These heat maps aid in understanding how users interact with various elements of the interface, thereby informing design decisions aimed at improving user experience and engagement. Additionally, the system (108) conducts A / B testing (split testing or bucket testing) analysis, comparing different versions of the user interface to assess which design performs better based on predefined metrics such as user interaction rates or task completion times. This iterative testing approach helps in refining and optimizing UI designs to enhance usability and achieve desired user outcomes. Furthermore, the system (108) verifies accessibility compliance, ensuring that the interface meets standards for accessibility features such as screen reader compatibility and keyboard navigation. The system (108) also evaluates cross-device consistency to confirm that the UI functions uniformly across different devices and screen sizes, maintaining usability and accessibility for all users.

[0112] Based on this analysis, the system (108) generates real-time troubleshooting instructions through a multi-step process. The system (108) begins by prioritizing identified issues based on frequency, severity, and business impact. Root cause analysis is then performed to fink issues with specific UI elements or interaction patterns. The system (108) may consult a solution database or employ machine learning models to recommend appropriate fixes. These recommendations are contextually adapted based on user roles and device types. The system (108) then formulates specific instructions for UI modifications, validates the changes to avoid introducing new issues, and packages the instructions in a format that can be executed in real-time by the application.

[0113] The versatility of the system (108) is demonstrated by its potential applications across various industries. In e-commerce, the system (108) could dynamically adjust product listing layouts based on user browsing patterns, such as implementing a split-screen view for product comparisons. In healthcare, the system (108) might create a unified view of patient history and prescriptions to streamline navigation between these modules for doctors who frequently switch between them. For financial trading applications, the system (108) could temporarily modify the interface during high-volatility periods, such as enlarging quick-sell options. In educational platforms, the system (108) might automatically create note-taking panels alongside video content if the system (108) detects frequent video pausing for notetaking. Industrial control systems could benefit from added safety measures, like confirmation dialogs for critical actions if accidental triggers are detected. In customer service applications, the system (108) could generate a context-aware info panel displaying relevant customer data based on the current task, improving representative efficiency. These examples illustrate how dynamic UI management of the system (108) can be tailored to enhance user experience and efficiency across diverse sectors.

[0114] The system (108) for dynamically managing the user interface as described herein offer a comprehensive solution for creating, maintaining, andupdating user interfaces in a flexible and personalized manner. The combination of user profiles, role-based configurations, real-time updates, and cross-platform consistency provides a powerful toolset for application developers and administrators, resulting in improved user experiences and more efficient application management.

[0115] Although FIG. 2 shows exemplary components of the system (108), in other embodiments, the system (108) may include fewer components, different components, differently arranged components, or additional functional components than depicted in FIG. 2. Additionally, or alternatively, one or more components of the system (108) may perform functions described as being performed by one or more other components of the system (108).

[0116] FIG. 3 illustrates a block diagram (300) of the network architecture for managing User Interface (UI) in real-time within five mobile and web applications, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0117] Referring to FIG. 3, in an embodiment, the system (108) may include one or more processors (202) configured to create and manage user profiles. The one or more processors (202) function as the central hub, storing and managing user profiles. These profiles define UI configurations based on the one or more parameters. The predefined criteria specify which UI elements (buttons, menus, etc.) and modules (sections of the interface) are accessible to different user roles or based on other configurable criteria.

[0118] In an embodiment, the system (108) may, upon receiving a login request (potentially containing user credentials) from an application (302), authenticate the user (102) and retrieve the corresponding user profile. Based on the retrieved profile information, the system (108) generates a dynamic UI response. The dynamic UI response is a data structure containing instructions outlining the authorized UI elements and modules for the user (102). The dynamic UI responsemight also include configuration details for customizing the appearance and behaviour of UI widgets (e.g., colour changes, button functionality).

[0119] In an embodiment, the system (108) may further include the application (302) operable on the computing device (104). In an embodiment, the application (302) may be a web application or a mobile application operable on the computing device (104).

[0120] Further, the application (302) functions as the user interface (UI) accessible through various computing devices (104), such as computers, smartphones, or tablets. One of the primary functions of the application (302) is to initiate requests for UI updates based on the user (102) credentials and preferences. Upon initiating a session, typically through a login process, the application (302) may prompt the user (102) to provide their credentials, such as a username and password. Once the user (102) submits their credentials, the application (302) transmits a login request to the system (108). This request contains authentication data necessary for the system (108) to verify the identity of the user (102) and retrieve relevant information associated with the profile of the user (102). Upon receiving the login request, the system (108) may process the authentication data and validate the credentials of the user (102). If the authentication is successful, the system (108) may retrieve the appropriate UI configurations tailored to the profile of the user (102). These configurations may define the layout, features, and accessibility of UI elements based on the role, permissions, or other criteria of the user (102). The application (302) then receives the UI configurations from the system (108) and dynamically updates the UI accordingly. This process ensures that the user (102) is presented with a personalized and relevant UI that aligns with their role and preferences within the application (302). By retrieving and applying the appropriate UI configurations based on the credentials of the user (102), the application (302) enhances the experience and usability for the user (102), facilitating efficient navigation and interaction with the application (302) functionalities.

[0121] In an embodiment, the system (108) may further include the communication module (214), which serves as a crucial component within the system (108) and is responsible for facilitating the seamless transmission of UI updates from the system (108) to the computing device (104). Acting as an intermediary, the communication module (214) may establish a connection between the system (108) and the application (302) running on the computing device (104). When the system (108) generates new UI configurations based on profiles or other criteria of the user (102), the communication module (214) may receive the updated UI configurations and prepare them for transmission to the computing device (104). This involves packaging the UI updates in a format suitable for delivery over the network. Once the updated UI is packaged, the communication module (214) initiates the transmission process.

[0122] In an embodiment, the communication module (214) may enable real-time updates to the application (302), ensuring that user (102) receive the updated UI configurations promptly and can seamlessly interact with the application (302) functionalities.

[0123] In an embodiment, the UI rendering module (304) within the application (302) is tasked with managing the dynamic generation of the UI based on updated configurations received from the system (108). The UI rendering module (304) ensures that the UI accurately reflects the latest changes and adapts seamlessly to the profile and preferences of the user (102). Upon receiving the dynamic UI response from the system (108) via the communication module (214), the UI rendering module (304) processes the received updated UI configurations, which may include information about UI element visibility, layout adjustments, or feature availability based on the user (102) roles or other criteria. Using this information, the UI rendering module (304) dynamically constructs the UI components, such as buttons, menus, forms, and other interactive elements, according to the updated UI configurations.

[0124] In an embodiment, the UI rendering module (304) ensures that the generated UI is coherent, intuitive, and responsive, catering to the user (102) needs. The UI rendering module (304) dynamically adjusts the layout, appearance, and functionality of the UI components based on the received configurations, ensuring consistency across different user sessions and devices.

[0125] In an embodiment, the database (210) that serves as a fundamental storage infrastructure within the system (108), responsible for housing the one or more user interface widget configurations and supporting updates to the UI rendering module (304) based on the system (108) queries. The database (210) functions as a centralized repository for storing various Ul-related data, including widget properties, layout configurations, and the user (102) preferences, which are crucial for dynamically generating the user interface (UI) of the application (302).

[0126] In an embodiment, the database (210) may store one or more user interface widget configurations in a structured format. The one or more user interface widget configurations include information about each UI element's properties, such as its type, size, position, styling, and behaviour. Additionally, the database (210) may maintain metadata associated with each widget, such as its visibility status, accessibility settings, and linkage to specific roles or permissions of the user (102).

[0127] In an embodiment, the database (210) may also facilitate updates to the UI rendering module (304) by serving as a backend data source for the one or more UI configurations. When the UI rendering module (304) requires updated UI configurations to reflect changes in roles of the user (102), preferences, or application settings, the UI rendering module (304) can issue queries to the database (210) to retrieve the relevant data. The queries may be based on specific criteria, such as user identifiers, session parameters, or contextual information provided by the system (108).

[0128] In an embodiment, upon receiving the query results from the database (210), the UI rendering module (304) may dynamically adjust its behaviour and generate the UI components accordingly.

[0129] In some embodiments, the UI rendering module (304) is configured to plot a map in the user interface based on the customized user interface configuration and location data received from the access request.

[0130] In one embodiment, the system (108) may be implemented as a server, acting as a central hub for managing user profiles, user interface configurations, and real-time updates. However, it should be understood that the system (108) is not limited to a server implementation and may be realized through various architectural designs.

[0131] FIG. 4 illustrates an exemplary flow chart (400) illustrating a method (400) or a process for generating and customizing user interfaces in real-time based on user roles, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0132] At step 402, the method (400) begins with creating a user profile that involves the system (108) generating a comprehensive profile for each user (102), outlining their roles, permissions, and UI preferences. This step is crucial as it dictates how the user (102) interacts with the UI. By defining access levels and configurations based on the user (102) roles or specific criteria, the system (108) ensures that users (102) are presented with a UI that aligns with their requirements. The user profile encompasses various aspects, including roles assigned to the user (102), permissions granted, and preferences related to UI elements and features.

[0133] In an embodiment, the system (108) dynamically manages user profiles for different applications in a telecommunication service management system. For example, a user profile for a network field engineer may include interface preferences such as dark mode, tabular result view, and quick access tonetwork testing tools. A customer support agent user profile may include list view for service requests and shortcuts to frequently accessed modules. Similarly, a sales executive profile may include card view for product listings and quick access to customer onboarding forms. The system (108) allows modification of interface preferences and access permissions based on user activity, role updates, or administrative changes. For example, if a network field engineer is assigned additional responsibilities related to performance monitoring, interface preferences may be updated to include widgets for network analytics. If a sales executive gains permission to manage customer contracts, additional interface options may be enabled to provide access to contract management tools. The system (108) ensures that user interfaces dynamically adapt to changes in roles and responsibilities. These examples illustrate how the system (108) customizes the UI by associating interface preferences and permissions with each user profile, enabling personalized user experiences.

[0134] Through this process, the system (108) may tailor the UI experience for each user (102), enhancing usability and efficiency. Overall, creating the user profile is fundamental in personalizing the application (302) interface and optimizing the user (102) interaction.

[0135] At step 404, once the user profile is created, it is stored in the database (210) for future retrieval and reference. The database (210) stores user profiles, allowing the method (400) to retrieve them when needed. Further, storing the user profiles in the database (210) enables quick access and retrieval, ensuring seamless UI customization for the user (102) during the application (302) usage.

[0136] At step 406, the user (102) launches the application (302) on their computing devices (104), such as smartphones, tablets, or computers. The application (302) provides the UI through which the user (102) interacts with the system (108) and accesses its features and functionalities. Upon launching the application (302), the user (102) is presented with the interface, allowing them tonavigate through different sections, perform actions, and access relevant information.

[0137] Depending on the application (302) setup, the user (102) may be prompted to log in or provide authentication credentials to access their personalized UI. This step ensures that the user (102) is granted access to the appropriate features and data based on the user profile and permissions. Overall, launching the application (302) marks the beginning of the user (102) interaction with the system (108), setting the stage for seamless engagement and efficient utilization of its capabilities.

[0138] At step 408, after launching the application (302), the application (302) initiates an application programming interface (API) call to the system (108) to retrieve the necessary data and resources for generating the UI. The API call includes parameters such as user credentials or session tokens to authenticate the user (102) and request the user's profile information from the system (108).

[0139] At step 410, upon receiving the API call, the system (108) authenticates the user (102) based on the provided credentials. The authentication process validates the identity of the user (102) and ensures that they are authorized to access the system (108). Once the user (102) is successfully authenticated, the system (108) accesses the database (210) to retrieve the corresponding user profile. This retrieval is based on the user (102) identity or session information, ensuring the correct profile is obtained. The user profile stored in the database (210) contains a comprehensive set of UI configurations, permissions, and preferences tailored to the user (102) roles or other criteria.

[0140] At step 412, using the retrieved user profile information, the system (108) generates a dynamic UI response tailored to the user (102) preferences and permissions. Leveraging the retrieved user profile information, the system (108) dynamically generates a UI response that caters to the user (102) unique preferencesand permissions. This process involves analyzing the user (102) profile to determine the specific UI elements, layouts, and features that should be included in the response.

[0141] For example, for a project management application, the dynamic UI response for a team leader might include: a. A project overview dashboard with progress bars and timelines b. Team member performance metrics c. Task assignment and tracking tools d. Document collaboration features e. Budget management widgets

[0142] In an embodiment, the dynamic UI response encapsulates a comprehensive set of instructions and data required for rendering the UI elements effectively within the application (302). It includes details on how each UI element should be displayed, their positioning, styling, and any other customizations based on the user (102) role or other criteria defined in their profile.

[0143] At step 414, the application (302) receives the dynamic UI response sent by the system (108) in response to the API call. The dynamic UI response contains the updated instructions and data for rendering the UI elements based on the user's profile. Further, the application (302) processes the received UI response to extract the necessary information and instructions for generating the UI on the computing device (104).

[0144] At step 416, upon receiving the dynamic UI response from the system (108), the UI rendering module (304) within the application (302) interprets the instructions and data contained within the response to dynamically generate and render the UI elements on the UI of the computing device (104). The UI rendering module (304) follows the specifications provided in the dynamic UI response to craft the updated user interface. The UI rendering module (304) dynamically createsUI elements such as buttons, menus, forms, and other interactive components, ensuring that they adhere to the user's roles, permissions, and preferences as outlined in the user profile.

[0145] The dynamic generation of the UI guarantees that the user (102) is presented with a personalized interface tailored to their specific requirements. By aligning the UI rendering with the user's profile information, the application (302) optimizes the user experience and engagement, offering a seamless and intuitive interface that caters to the user (102) unique needs and preferences.

[0146] FIG. 5 illustrates an exemplary flow diagram of a method (500) for dynamically managing the user interface, in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0147] At step (502), the method (500) includes receiving, via an application (302) operable on a computing device (104), an access request from a user (102). The method (500) includes maintaining, by a system (108), a set of user profiles. Each user profile is associated with one or more user interface configurations and one or more created user roles. One or more created user roles define access permissions and interface preferences for the users. This step forms the foundation for personalized user experiences. The system (108) may store detailed information about each user, including their organizational role, access levels, and UI preferences. For example, a user profile for a financial analyst might include permissions to access sensitive financial data and preferences for data visualization tools. The created user roles could range from "Junior Analyst" to "Senior Manager," each with its own set of permissions and UI configurations. The access request could be a login attempt, a request to access a specific feature or an API call from the application (302). For instance, when the user opens the CRM application on his smartphone, the application (302) sends an access request to the system (108), including the user's credentials and device information.

[0148] At step (504), the method (500) includes generating a customized user interface configuration based on a user profile and associated one or more created user roles corresponding to the access request. This step tailors the UI to the specific user. For a marketing manager using a content management system, the generated configuration might include a dashboard with campaign performance metrics, content creation tools, and team collaboration features, all based on their role and preferences.

[0149] At step (506), the method (500) includes transmitting, via the communication module (214), the customized user interface configuration to the computing device (104). The computing device (104) is configured to enable a user interface rendering module (304) for rendering a real-time user interface on the computing device (104) based on the customized user interface configuration. This step ensures that the personalized UI is delivered to the user's device. The UI rendering module (304) interprets the configuration and dynamically builds the interface, potentially using existing technologies for web applications, or native UI frameworks for mobile apps.

[0150] At step (508), the method (500) includes storing, in the database (210), the one or more user interface widget configurations. The one or more user interface widget configurations comprise specific settings and parameters for individual user interface elements. Each user interface widget configuration is associated with the one or more user interface configurations and the one or more created user roles. This step maintains a library of UI components that can be assembled based on user roles and preferences. For example, a data visualization widget might have different configurations for analysts (with advanced filtering options) and executives (with high-level summary views).

[0151] At step (510), the method (500) includes detecting one or more modifications to the one or more user interface configurations. This ongoing process ensures that the system (108) remains responsive to changes in user roles,organizational policies, or application updates. It might involve periodic database checks or event-driven monitoring systems.

[0152] At step (512), the method (500) includes updating the one or more user interface widget configurations in the database (210) upon detecting the one or more modifications. This step keeps the UI components updated. For instance, if a new feature is added to the application (302), the relevant one or more user interface widget configurations would be updated to incorporate this feature for applicable user roles.

[0153] At step (514), the method (500) includes transmitting, via the communication module (214), the updated one or more user interface widget configurations to the computing device (104), wherein the user interface rendering module (304) is configured to update user interface elements in real-time based on the transmitted updates. This step ensures that users always interact with the most up-to-date UI version. The real-time updates could manifest as new buttons appearing, layouts adjusting, or features being enabled without requiring an application restart.

[0154] In an aspect, the method (500) includes analyzing the one or more user interface configurations and associated user interactions to identify potential issues. This analytical step helps in proactively improving the user experience. It might involve techniques like heatmap analysis, user behaviour tracking, or error log monitoring to identify pain points or inefficiencies in the UI.

[0155] In an aspect, the method (500) includes generating, based on the analysis, real-time troubleshooting instructions for the application (302). This step creates actionable solutions to identified issues. For example, if analysis shows that users frequently misclick a button, the troubleshooting instructions might include adjusting the button's size or position.

[0156] In an aspect, the method (500) includes transmitting, via the communication module (214), the real-time troubleshooting instructions to the computing device (104) for execution by the application (302). This final step in the process allows for immediate resolution of UI issues. The application (302) might apply these instructions on-the-fly, such as repositioning UI elements or providing additional user guidance, without requiring a full update or restart.

[0157] In some embodiments, the method further comprises enabling dynamic user interface updates and feature handling in mobile and web versions of the application (302) based on the one or more user interface configurations stored in the system (108). This capability ensures consistency across different platforms while respecting device-specific constraints.

[0158] The method may also include customizing user interface widgets based on the one or more user interface configurations for the application (302) stored in the system (108) according to the one or more created user roles. This allows for role-specific UI elements, enhancing productivity and user experience.

[0159] In certain implementations, the method allows adding multiple features to a single user by creating and storing multiple feature configurations associated with a single user profile. This flexibility accommodates users who may have multiple roles or need access to various feature sets.

[0160] The method may further comprise associating multiple feature sets with a single user profile through the one or more user interface configurations stored in the system (108) based on the one or more created user roles. This enables complex, multi-faceted user profiles that can adapt to different contexts or use cases.

[0161] In some embodiments, the method includes modifying user interface widget appearances across web and mobile platforms of the application (302) byaltering queries in the database (210) based on the one or more created user roles. This ensures visual and functional consistency across different devices and platforms.

[0162] The method may also comprise applying modifications to a production environment of the application (302) without initiating a release cycle, wherein the modifications are based on the one or more created user roles. This allows for rapid updates and changes without the need for time-consuming full release processes.

[0163] In certain implementations, the method includes dynamically adjusting visibility of user interface elements within the application (302) based on the user profile, the associated one or more created user roles, and the one or more user interface configurations stored in the system (108). This creates a clean, relevant interface for each user.

[0164] In some embodiments, the method includes plotting a map in the user interface based on the customized user interface configuration and location data received from the access request.

[0165] The customized user interface configuration may comprise instructions for rendering user interface elements based on user-specific attributes defined in the user profile and the associated one or more created user roles. This enables highly personalized interfaces reflecting specific user needs and permissions.

[0166] In a further exemplary embodiment, a computing device communicatively coupled to a system for dynamically managing a user interface via a network is described. The coupling comprises steps of: receiving, by the network, a connection request from the computing device, sending, by the network, an acknowledgment of the connection request to the computing device antransmitting a plurality of signals in response to the connection request, wherein the computing device comprising the UI is configured to wherein the system comprises an application operable on the computing device, configured to receive an access request from a user, wherein a customized user interface configuration is generated based on a user profile and associated one or more created user roles corresponding to the access request, the computing device configured to enable a user interface rendering module (304) for rendering a real-time user interface on the computing device based on the customized user interface configuration, the user interface rendering module (304) configured to update user interface elements in real-time based on updated one or more user interface widget configurations received from the system (108).
