Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional web page editing applications struggle to balance user creativity with design quality, often requiring significant effort and skill to assemble web pages while lacking modularity and scalability, leading to frustration and inefficiency.
Innovation Solution
Techniques leverage brick-and-mortar POS transaction data to inform and streamline web page creation and editing, enabling modular, scalable, and responsive web page design with intelligent recommendations based on successful merchant performance metrics and customer interactions, using a centralized data store to synchronize brand assets across platforms.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If web page editing applications allow users to change or add content to web pages, then user creativity and customization are improved, but design quality and consistency deteriorate due to lack of professional design skills
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments brand assets into distinct, manageable components (logos, fonts, color palettes, images) that can be independently selected and applied. This allows users to customize web pages by choosing from pre-defined segments rather than creating from scratch, maintaining design quality while enabling customization.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameters of web page design by providing predefined options for various design elements (fonts, colors, layouts). Users can modify their web pages by selecting different parameter values from the centralized brand asset store, ensuring consistency while allowing customization.
2Adaptability or versatility
If web page editing applications provide extensive customization options, then user creativity is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to complexity and skill requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-configuring and storing brand assets in a centralized database before users need them. Assets are prepared, validated, and organized in advance, so users can simply select and apply them without needing to create or validate design elements themselves, reducing skill requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by allowing users to independently select and apply brand assets from the centralized store using a user-friendly interface. Users can customize their web pages by dragging and dropping pre-configured assets without requiring professional design skills or complex configuration.
3Adaptability or versatility
If organizations use multiple platforms for brand asset management, then adaptability across different services is improved, but consistency and synchronization of brand assets deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system achieves universality by creating a centralized brand asset store that serves multiple brick-and-mortar POS services and web page editing applications simultaneously. A single asset repository provides services across different platforms, ensuring that the same brand assets are used consistently while maintaining adaptability to various service requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The centralized brand asset store acts as an intermediary between different platforms and services. Instead of each platform maintaining separate asset databases, the intermediary store provides a single source of truth that synchronizes assets across all platforms, ensuring consistency while enabling cross-platform adaptability.
4Manufacturing precision
If web page creation requires professional design skills and HTML knowledge, then design quality is improved, but productivity and ease of manufacture deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses copying by providing pre-configured brand assets that can be replicated and applied across multiple web pages. Users can copy proven design elements from the centralized store and apply them to their web pages, maintaining professional design quality without requiring users to create designs from scratch, thus increasing productivity.
Data Source
AI summary
Techniques described herein are directed to centralized brand asset management. In an example, a first computing device associated with a first point-of-sale (POS) service can receive an instruction to update a web page of a merchant, wherein the instruction to update the web page of the merchant changes a brand asset of the merchant. The first computing device can send a request to update the brand asset of the merchant to a centralized data storage storing one or more brand assets of one or more merchants. The centralized data storage can update the brand asset to an updated brand asset, which can be available to at least a second computing device associated with a second POS service. The second POS service can update a respective POS service feature based on the updated brand asset.
