Dashboard Collaborator Conflict Resolution Merging
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The conventional collaborative process of designing complex dashboards is inefficient due to its sequential nature, leading to long dashboard development times as multiple designers work on different components sequentially.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented technology that performs conflict analysis on multiple dashboards, resolves any detected conflicts, and merges them into a single dashboard, either automatically or with user input, to improve collaboration and reduce development time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If multiple designers work on different dashboard components sequentially, then each designer can focus on their specialized component, but the overall dashboard development time increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple individual dashboard components created by different designers into a single integrated dashboard. The system automatically combines charts, graphs, and other visual elements from separate designer contributions into one cohesive dashboard interface, eliminating the sequential handoff process while maintaining design quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of sequential dashboard assembly with an automated computational system. The system uses algorithms to automatically integrate components, resolve conflicts, and generate the final dashboard without requiring manual intervention at each step, thereby dramatically reducing development time.
2Productivity
If designers work simultaneously on the same dashboard, then development time is reduced, but conflicts arise that require resolution
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically detecting and resolving conflicts between simultaneous designer contributions. The conflict resolution mechanism operates autonomously to merge overlapping or conflicting dashboard elements without requiring manual intervention, allowing designers to work simultaneously while the system handles integrations independently.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms that monitor dashboard component interactions in real-time. When conflicts are detected between simultaneous edits, the system provides feedback signals that trigger automatic resolution processes, ensuring that collaborative work proceeds smoothly without manual intervention.
3Ease of operation
If a sequential collaborative process is used for dashboard design, then conflict management is simplified, but the overall process becomes inefficient and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by establishing a framework for automated conflict resolution before designers begin their work. The system pre-configures merging algorithms and conflict detection mechanisms that are ready to operate immediately when multiple designers contribute simultaneously, eliminating the need for sequential processes while maintaining operational simplicity.

AI summary
Described herein is a technology for designing a dashboard. In some embodiments, first and second dashboards are provided. Conflict analysis on the first and second dashboard is performed. The conflicts are resolved if any conflicts are detected. The first and second dashboards are merged to form a merged dashboard if no conflicts are detected or after resolving the conflicts.
