Solution Overview

Problem

Maintaining a consistent brand image across multiple disparate application platforms is challenging, especially during transitions, due to the need for separate programming and simultaneous updates across different platforms, which can be expensive and time-consuming.

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 various platforms, ensuring a unified brand image.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering 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 cost and time required for maintenance and updates increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveplatform optimizationVSAvoidmaintenance time

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The application is divided into a platform-independent core portion and platform-specific portions. The core portion contains common functionality that can be reused across all platforms, while only the necessary platform-specific portions are separately programmed. This segmentation reduces maintenance time by allowing updates to the core portion to propagate automatically across all platforms.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The core portion of the application is designed to be universal, serving multiple platforms simultaneously. This multi-functional core handles common operations that are needed across web, mobile, and other platforms, eliminating the need to maintain separate versions of common functionality for each platform.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If separate programming is performed for each application platform, then platform-specific functionality can be optimized, but the cost of development and updates increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveplatform-specific optimizationVSAvoiddevelopment cost

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the application into a shared core and platform-specific portions, development cost is reduced through code reuse. The core portion is developed once and can be reused across all platforms, while only the minimal platform-specific portions require separate programming, significantly reducing overall development and maintenance costs.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The universal core portion serves multiple platforms with a single implementation, eliminating the need to develop and maintain separate versions of common functionality. This multi-functionality approach reduces development cost while still allowing platform-specific optimizations in the appropriate portions.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Stability of the object's composition

If simultaneous updates are made across all platforms, then brand consistency is maintained, but the complexity of coordination and execution increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvebrand consistencyVSAvoidupdate coordination complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The core portion is designed with centralized control that automatically propagates updates to all platforms simultaneously. This preliminary design of the update mechanism ensures that brand consistency is maintained without requiring complex coordination during the update process, as the system handles the synchronization automatically.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The update process is merged into a single centralized operation that affects all platforms simultaneously. By combining the update logic in the core portion, the system achieves coordinated updates across all platforms without requiring separate coordination efforts for each platform, reducing operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

Systems and methods are provided for generating a plurality of applications of disparate types. A graphical user interface is provided for designing an interactive user experience, where a designed user experience includes an arrangement of experience elements, where the experience elements include a plurality interactive elements and decorative elements, and where each of the experience elements are configured for display according to one or more attributes. An identification of the experience elements and the attributes of the experience elements is received via the graphical user interface. An identification of a plurality of disparate types of applications to be generated based on the designed experience is received. The experience is translated for each of the disparate types of applications to generate the plurality of applications of disparate types.
