Cloud Deploy Functions for Electronic Form Generation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current cloud computing platforms, particularly Platform as a Service (PaaS) systems, are inflexible and require users to adopt unfamiliar programming languages and frameworks, making it time-consuming to generate electronic forms and web pages, and lack flexibility in design.
Innovation Solution
A cloud-based system that allows programmers to input commands in a programming language to retrieve and deploy electronic objects from network-accessible storage, enabling efficient generation and deployment of electronic forms and APIs, using built-in functions like CloudDeploy and CloudGet, which facilitate cloud storage and retrieval of data and code.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If PaaS systems are used to provide cloud computing services, then centralized data storage and online access to computer services are improved, but flexibility and ease of use deteriorate because users must adopt unfamiliar programming languages and frameworks
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a form generation system that acts as an intermediary between users and the PaaS platform. This system provides a visual interface that translates user-friendly form design specifications into the required programming language code, eliminating the need for users to directly learn unfamiliar languages and frameworks while still utilizing the PaaS infrastructure
2Adaptability or versatility
If traditional web page design tools are used to create electronic forms, then design flexibility is improved, but time consumption increases because designing web documents using HTML, XHTML, etc. is time consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a form generation system that performs preliminary actions by automatically generating the underlying HTML, XHTML, and other web document code based on high-level form specifications. This preliminary code generation eliminates the time-consuming manual coding process while maintaining design flexibility through configurable form parameters and templates
3Ease of operation
If WYSIWYG website builders are used to create web pages, then ease of use is improved, but flexibility deteriorates because they have limitations with respect to creating web pages that differ from a fixed set of templates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a dynamic form generation system that combines the simplicity of WYSIWYG builders with the flexibility of custom coding. The system allows users to design forms using a visual interface similar to WYSIWYG tools, but the generated forms are not constrained by fixed templates - instead, they can be dynamically configured with custom fields, validation rules, and integration options through programmable parameters
Data Source
AI summary
Programmer input in a programming language is received. The programmer input includes i) a built-in function corresponding to retrieving electronic objects from network-accessible storage, and ii) a parameter indicating an electronic object. The programmer input is evaluated to determine that the electronic object is to be retrieved from the network-accessible storage, and one of i) the electronic object, or ii) an evaluation of the electronic object, is retrieved.
