Solution Overview

Problem

Current computer systems for deploying business applications lack context-based configuration and service provider identification, leading to inefficient user interactions and limited personalized experiences.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for context-based deployment of business applications that receive user inputted configuration information, retrieve additional information, and configure the application based on user context, enabling identification of service providers and personalized content presentation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If context-based configuration is implemented, then user interaction quality and service relevance are improved, but system complexity and data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interaction qualityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by collecting and storing configuration information about users, businesses, and service providers in databases before actual service matching is needed. User profiles, business attributes, and service provider catalogs are pre-established, enabling rapid context-based matching during runtime without complex real-time processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces configuration information databases as intermediary structures that mediate between users and service providers. These databases store structured context data (user profiles, business attributes, service catalogs) that enable automated matching without requiring complex direct interaction logic between users and providers

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive configuration information is collected and processed, then service provider identification accuracy and content personalization are improved, but information processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice provider identification accuracyVSAvoidinformation processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The configuration information is segmented into distinct categories: user configuration information (preferences, requirements), business configuration information (attributes, classification), and service provider configuration information (services offered, capabilities). This segmentation enables targeted querying and processing of only relevant data segments rather than analyzing entire datasets

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters by transforming unstructured or semi-structured configuration data into structured, queryable formats with defined attributes and classifications. Business entities are assigned standardized classification parameters, and service provider capabilities are parameterized, enabling efficient filtering and matching operations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If context-based deployment is implemented, then business process efficiency and user engagement are improved, but implementation complexity and initial setup requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebusiness process efficiencyVSAvoidimplementation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a universal configuration framework that can accommodate multiple business types, service categories, and user profiles through standardized data structures and classification schemes. The same core architecture handles diverse scenarios (different businesses, services, and users) without requiring separate implementation logic for each case

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

AI summary

Methods and systems for deploying business applications are provided. A method for deploying a business application includes receiving inputted configuration information for the business application from a user of the business application. Additional configuration information is retrieved for the business application based on the inputted configuration information. The business application is configured based on the inputted and additional configuration information.
