Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems fail to provide seamless mechanisms for displaying data from multiple sources in a meaningful way, lacking tailored user experiences for efficient data processing across industries like health, agriculture, education, and defense.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that uses layout profiles to dynamically display data to users based on their type, allowing different sections to be visible or hidden based on user permissions, with features like metadata loading, editing, and dynamic modification.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a single layout is displayed to all users, then the system is simple to manage, but it cannot provide tailored user experiences for efficient data processing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetailored user experienceVSAvoidlayout management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the user base into different user types (e.g., administrators, managers, staff) and creates distinct layout profiles for each type. This segmentation allows the system to provide tailored experiences for different user groups while managing complexity through systematic categorization and assignment rules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If all data sections are displayed to every user, then complete information is provided, but it reduces efficiency by showing irrelevant data to specific users

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing efficiencyVSAvoidinformation completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by customizing the visibility and content of specific display sections within layouts based on user type. Different user types receive layouts with different sections visible or hidden, ensuring each user sees only the information relevant to their role and responsibilities, thereby improving processing efficiency without losing overall information completeness in the system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Ease of operation

If multiple layout profiles are created for different user types, then tailored data display is achieved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interface customizationVSAvoidsystem configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements universality by creating a multi-functional layout profile system that serves multiple purposes: it provides tailored displays for different user types, enables efficient data processing, and maintains systematic manageability through assignment rules. The same layout profile infrastructure supports various user types and can be extended to accommodate new user categories without requiring fundamentally different systems.

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

4Adaptability or versatility

If dynamic layout modification is enabled, then user-specific customization is improved, but the computational overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedynamic layout adjustmentVSAvoidcomputational resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining layout profiles for different user types before users access the system. When a user logs in, the system automatically assigns the appropriate pre-configured layout profile based on the user's type, avoiding the need for real-time layout generation or complex runtime modifications. This approach provides dynamic customization while minimizing computational overhead during actual use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
