Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Maintaining a consistent brand image across multiple disparate application platforms is challenging and costly, especially during wholesale transitions, due to the need for separate programming and simultaneous updates on various platforms.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented system and method for generating applications of disparate types using a consistent application generation engine, which allows users to design an interactive user experience and translate it across different platforms, ensuring a unified brand image.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If separate programming is performed for each application platform, then each platform can be optimized for its specific requirements, but the complexity and cost of maintaining consistent brand image across platforms increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the application into a core brand experience component and platform-specific adapter components. The core experience is defined once and reused across platforms, while only the adapter layers are customized for each platform's specific requirements. This segmentation reduces overall programming complexity while maintaining platform optimization capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal application framework that can generate multiple application types from a single core experience definition. This universal framework handles different platforms (mobile, web, tablet) through a common codebase, eliminating the need for separate programming of core brand elements while allowing platform-specific optimizations through configuration rather than coding.
2Stability of the object's composition
If simultaneous updates are made across all platforms, then brand image consistency is maintained, but the time and resources required for updates increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges all platform-specific application updates into a single centralized update process. Since the core experience is shared across platforms through a common framework, updating the core experience definition once automatically propagates to all platforms simultaneously, maintaining brand consistency without requiring separate update cycles for each platform.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses code generation to create platform-specific applications by copying and transforming a single core experience template. When updates are needed, the core template is updated once, and the system generates updated platform-specific versions automatically, eliminating manual simultaneous updates while maintaining consistency across all platforms.
3Stability of the object's composition
If wholesale transitions of brand image are implemented across all platforms, then brand coherence is maintained, but the cost and complexity of coordination increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a centralized experience management system as an intermediary between brand strategy and platform implementations. This intermediary handles the coordination of wholesale brand transitions by providing a unified interface for defining brand changes, automatically translating them into platform-specific updates without requiring complex manual coordination between different development teams.
