Solution Overview

Problem

Current business intelligence analytics tools are not optimized for mobile platforms, making it impossible for users to export and share business analytic data outside of a desktop environment due to resource intensity and lack of proper interfaces.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method and system for exporting analytic data that visualizes available data in a graphical user interface, receives user input for data selection, packages the data, and exports it through various options, enabling functionality on mobile devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If analytics tools are optimized for desktop platforms with large monitors and mouse/keyboard input, then the user interface and functionality are well-suited for desktop environments, but the tools become too resource intensive and lack proper interface for mobile platforms

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interface suitabilityVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the analytics tool into separate desktop and mobile versions with distinct functionality. The mobile version is a simplified subset that provides core export capabilities without the full desktop feature set, reducing resource requirements while maintaining ease of operation for mobile users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by optimizing the interface and functionality specifically for mobile contexts. The mobile tool uses touch-friendly interfaces, simplified data selection methods, and mobile-appropriate export options rather than attempting to replicate the full desktop experience on mobile devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Adaptability or versatility

If analytics tools are designed for desktop environments, then they provide comprehensive functionality, but users cannot export or share business analytic data while outside of a desktop environment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplatform compatibilityVSAvoidmobile accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal analytics export solution that works across both desktop and mobile platforms. The system provides platform-specific implementations (desktop tool and mobile tool) that share common functionality for exporting analytics data, allowing users to access export capabilities regardless of device.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent copies the essential export functionality from the desktop tool to a dedicated mobile tool. The mobile tool replicates core capabilities like data selection, packaging, and export to multiple formats, enabling users to perform analytics exports on mobile devices without needing access to a desktop computer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Device complexity

If analytics tools use complex desktop interfaces, then they provide comprehensive data visualization and control options, but they lack proper interface for mobile touch interactions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterface functionalityVSAvoidmobile platform support
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by creating adaptable interfaces that respond to the platform being used. The system dynamically adjusts the user interface based on whether it's running on desktop or mobile, providing appropriate interaction methods (mouse/keyboard vs. touch) and level of complexity suitable for each platform.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
