Interactive Deployment Map for Network Endpoint Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Visualizing and managing large volumes of information on a graphical user interface, particularly for endpoint deployment across a network, is challenging due to difficulties in presenting deployment information effectively.
Innovation Solution
A method for displaying a deployment map on a graphical user interface that includes regions for endpoint icons, user icons, and software implementation icons, allowing dynamic updates and interactive control options, enabling administrators to manage and monitor endpoints and users within the network.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If traditional techniques are used to present deployment information on a graphical user interface, then the interface can display basic information, but it becomes difficult to visualize and manage large volumes of endpoint information across a wide network
Solution Approach 1:
The graphical user interface is divided into multiple functional regions: a first region displaying endpoint icons in a deployment map, a second region showing user icons, and a third region presenting software implementation icons. This segmentation allows the system to handle large volumes of information by organizing them into distinct, manageable sections, enabling administrators to efficiently locate and manage specific types of network resources without being overwhelmed by the total data volume.
2Loss of information
If all endpoint information is displayed on a single display, then comprehensive network information is available, but the complexity of the interface increases making it difficult to recognize aspects of endpoints
Solution Approach 1:
The interface employs a multi-dimensional spatial organization where endpoint icons, user icons, and software implementation icons are arranged in different regions and hierarchical levels. The deployment map uses a two-dimensional layout with the first region, second region, and third region organized in specific spatial relationships. This dimensional arrangement allows comprehensive network information to be displayed while maintaining interface simplicity through intuitive spatial navigation and regional grouping.
3Measurement precision
If the deployment map displays detailed information about each endpoint, then comprehensive endpoint details are visible, but the interface becomes cluttered and harder to navigate
Solution Approach 1:
Different regions of the interface provide different levels and types of information detail. The first region displays endpoint icons with basic identification, the second region shows user associations, and the third region presents software implementation details. This local quality differentiation allows comprehensive information to be distributed across regions with each area optimized for its specific purpose, enabling detailed information access without creating a uniformly cluttered interface that would be difficult to navigate.
Data Source
AI summary
Techniques for presenting information on a graphical user interface are disclosed. In one embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method for presenting information on a graphical user interface including displaying a deployment map via the graphical user interface on a display unit, determining whether an input has been detected with respect to the deployment map, determining a type of input when the input has been detected, generating an updated deployment map based on the determined type of input, and displaying the updated deployment map on the display unit.
