Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for a user interface that allows consumers and enterprises to interact seamlessly across all channels, independent of any screen or location, and be highly customizable, enabling real-time communication and file sharing.
Innovation Solution
A cloud-based Virtual Storage System (VSS) Client UI that includes a Cloud Communicator for communication, Virtual Storage System for file sharing, and User Cloud Storage for file management, allowing users to interact and share files and applications across various devices and networks, with customizable and personalized interfaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a traditional screen-based user interface is used, then the interface is familiar and easy to implement, but it is limited to specific screens, hardware, and locations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal interface system that functions across multiple devices, screens, and locations through cloud-based virtual storage and interface components. The VSS Client UI serves as a universal access point that can be reached from any device with network connectivity, eliminating the limitation of traditional screen-bound interfaces while managing complexity through standardized cloud-based architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a cloud-based virtual storage system as an intermediary layer between users and data. This mediator enables cross-device, cross-location access without requiring direct screen-based interactions, allowing the interface to be location-independent while maintaining manageable system complexity through centralized cloud management.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed user interface is provided, then the interface is simple to implement, but it cannot be highly customizable to allow users to define their own buttons and interactions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic interface system where the VSS Client UI can be customized by users in real-time. Users can define their own buttons, navigation structures, and interactions within the cloud-based interface, allowing the system to adapt to individual user preferences and needs while maintaining centralized management through the virtual storage system.
3Ease of operation
If channel-specific interfaces are used for different communication methods, then each interface is optimized for its specific channel, but users cannot interact seamlessly across all channels
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple communication channels and interaction methods into a single unified VSS Client UI. This consolidation allows users to access chat, video conferencing, file sharing, and other communication functions through one interface, enabling seamless cross-channel interactions while managing complexity through integrated cloud-based architecture.

AI summary
Systems and methods of providing virtual storage spaces (“VSS”) are presented. A VSS is a virtual representation of a storage space in a database or other data structure with which users may interact via a VSS Client UI. A VSS Client UI is a cloud-based UI including: (a) Cloud Communicator (CC) UI; (b) VSS UI, which allows exchange and/or execution of virtual files and virtual applications, and (c) User Cloud Storage (UCS) UI, which allows user(s) to share, copy, delete, export and import any virtual file (in a storage space such as cloud storage, dedicated or shared storage server, remote storage hardware, etc.) and/or virtual application in the cloud. Various interactive online experiences between users in various engagement scenarios are disclosed where users have access to a common virtual system storage (VSS) through a VSS Client UL.
