Solution Overview

Problem

Existing techniques for requesting the addition of assets to an asset account on electronic devices are cumbersome and inefficient, often requiring complex user interfaces, multiple inputs, and wasting user time and device energy.

Innovation Solution

A method and interface that allows users to efficiently request asset additions by prepopulating a message with contact information for a secondary user account, enabling a straightforward and energy-conserving process for adding assets to an asset account through a user-interactive graphical interface.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If existing techniques are used to request asset additions, then the asset account can be replenished, but the process is cumbersome and requires multiple inputs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of requesting asset additionVSAvoidcomplexity of user interface
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically detects when an asset account is low on assets and pre-populates a message with the necessary information (contact information for the second user account and a graphical user interface object to initiate the asset addition process). This preliminary action eliminates the need for users to manually input multiple pieces of information, thereby simplifying the operation while maintaining the asset replenishment function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If existing techniques are used to request asset additions, then the asset account can be replenished, but it requires more user inputs which wastes user time and device energy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveefficiency of asset addition processVSAvoidtime required for asset addition
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically generating and pre-populating the asset request message with all necessary information before the user even initiates the request. This includes automatically identifying the second user account and preparing the graphical user interface object, thereby eliminating the time users would otherwise spend manually entering information and significantly improving the efficiency of the asset addition process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system serves itself by automatically monitoring asset levels and initiating the asset addition process without requiring extensive user intervention. The system self-populates the necessary message content and prepares the interface for asset addition, reducing both user time investment and device energy consumption while maintaining productive asset replenishment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If existing techniques are used to request asset additions, then the asset account can be replenished, but it requires multiple key presses or keystrokes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of inputs requiredVSAvoiddevice energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system takes preliminary action by pre-populating the asset request message with contact information and preparing the graphical user interface object in advance. This eliminates the need for multiple key presses or keystrokes from the user, thereby reducing both the number of inputs required and the associated device energy consumption while still achieving the asset account replenishment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-service by automatically monitoring asset levels and pre-preparing the asset addition message without requiring multiple user inputs. This self-initiated approach reduces the number of keyboard interactions needed, thereby conserving device energy while maintaining the ability to replenish the asset account efficiently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
