Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional mechanisms for data storage, retention, and presentation are inefficient, leading to data loss, bottlenecks, and lack of organization, especially across different devices and platforms with varying operating environments and display capabilities.

Innovation Solution

A novel asset management and visualization framework that automatically generates and dynamically updates an interactive dashboard interface, providing a uniform look and feel across platforms, allowing users to configure dashboards once and view them seamlessly on multiple devices, with automatic updates and adaptations to screen size and orientation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional mechanisms are used for data storage and presentation across multiple devices, then data can be stored in databases and cloud servers, but data loss, bottlenecks, and lack of organization occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata integrityVSAvoiddata presentation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between data sources and client devices. This server maintains a centralized database and generates dashboard content dynamically, acting as a mediator that ensures data consistency across multiple devices while preventing data loss and bottlenecks through centralized management

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If separate dashboard configurations are created for each device and platform, then each device can be optimized for its specific capabilities, but device complexity and configuration time increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplatform compatibilityVSAvoidconfiguration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal dashboard configuration system where a single dashboard design created on one device can be automatically adapted and displayed on multiple different device types and platforms. The server handles the adaptation logic, making the dashboard configuration universally compatible across smartphones, tablets, desktops, and other devices without requiring separate configurations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-generating dashboard content and storing it on the server. When a client device requests the dashboard, the server retrieves and adapts the pre-configured content, eliminating the need for real-time configuration adjustments and reducing the complexity of cross-platform deployment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If manual dashboard configuration is performed for each device, then specific device requirements can be met, but time consumption and operational inefficiency increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedashboard setup easeVSAvoidconfiguration time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service dashboard deployment where the server automatically handles dashboard generation, content adaptation, and device compatibility adjustments without requiring manual configuration for each device. Users simply create the dashboard once, and the system automatically serves it to all connected devices, dramatically reducing configuration time and improving operational ease

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
