Dashboard Image Generation for Remote Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems fail to effectively generate and display dashboard images on remote computing devices without a software graphics platform, limiting access to key performance indicator visualizations for business metrics.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for generating dashboard images on an image creating computer, which includes a dashboard generator and an image generator, allowing remote computing devices to receive and display dashboard images via the Internet, even if they lack a graphics platform, by deriving key performance indicator values from a business database and creating a dashboard web page corresponding to these values.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If dashboard images are generated on remote computing devices, then accessibility to key performance indicators is improved, but device complexity increases due to requiring a software graphics platform
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an image creating computer as an intermediary between the dashboard data source and the remote computing device. This intermediary generates the dashboard image and provides it to the remote device via the Internet, allowing the remote device to display dashboards without needing its own graphics platform. The intermediary handles the complex image generation while the remote device only needs basic image display capability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If dashboard images are generated on remote computing devices, then data visualization capability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to platform dependency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a copy of the dashboard in the form of an image generated by the image creating computer. Instead of requiring the remote device to execute the full dashboard application with its graphics platform, the system generates an image copy of the dashboard that can be displayed on any device with basic image viewing capability, thereby eliminating platform dependency while preserving visualization capability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If dashboard images are transmitted via the Internet, then remote access is improved, but loss of information may increase due to image format conversion
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates an image copy of the dashboard for transmission via the Internet. This image copy preserves the visual representation of key performance indicators while being suitable for web transmission. The image format allows remote access through standard web browsers while maintaining the essential data visualization information in a universally compatible format.
Data Source
AI summary
Systems and methods for generating a dashboard image for viewing on a remote computing device. The system may include a business database storing a plurality of business values; a dashboard generator; an image generator and a web page generator. The dashboard generator may be configured to derive a plurality of key performance indicator values from the business database and generate a dashboard corresponding to the plurality of key performance indicator values. The image generator may be configured to generate the dashboard image, such that the dashboard image corresponds to the dashboard. As well, the web page generator may be operatively coupled to the image generator and configured to generate a dashboard web page corresponding to the dashboard image. The method may include: receiving a dashboard image request from the remote computing device; deriving a plurality of key performance indicator values from a business database; creating a dashboard image corresponding to the key performance indicator values; and generating a dashboard web page corresponding to the dashboard image.
