Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies face challenges in accessing, retrieving, and processing data from multiple data sources located on different computing systems, due to compatibility issues, varying access and management controls, and performance problems resulting from geographic distribution and numerous hardware components.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium and a processing device that executes instructions to receive delegates representing data units and assignees, generate customized graphical user interfaces, create delegate records, and facilitate data retrieval by transmitting electronic communications and receiving data units, thereby addressing compatibility, access, and performance issues.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If data is retrieved from multiple distributed computing systems, then data completeness is improved, but system complexity and access difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a centralized data retrieval system as an intermediary between the user and multiple distributed computing systems. This intermediary system automatically manages connections to various computing systems, handles authentication, and aggregates data from all sources into a unified structure, thereby reducing the complexity faced by the user while maintaining complete data collection.
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments the data retrieval process into independent modules, where each computing system can be accessed through separate authentication and connection mechanisms. The centralized system manages these segments independently, allowing data to be retrieved from multiple distributed sources without requiring the user to manage each connection individually, thus reducing perceived system complexity.
2Ease of operation
If customized graphical user interfaces are generated for each delegate, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically generates customized graphical user interfaces based on the specific delegate's requirements and the data structures they need to access. Rather than using a static, one-size-fits-all interface, the system adapts the interface structure in real-time to match the delegate's needs, improving ease of operation while managing complexity through programmatic generation rather than manual configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates template-based copies of graphical user interface structures that can be dynamically instantiated for different delegates. By using standardized templates that can be replicated and customized, the system reduces the complexity of creating unique interfaces for each delegate while still providing personalized operation experiences.
3Ease of operation
If data units are stored in a centralized repository, then ease of operation is improved, but loss of information about data origins may occur
Solution Approach 1:
The centralized repository is designed with a nested structure where data units are stored along with their metadata about origins in a hierarchical manner. The outer layers of the repository structure maintain information about where the data came from (source computing systems), while the inner layers store the actual data units. This nesting allows easy access to data while preserving origin information through the repository's structured architecture.
