Dynamic UI Control Generation for Single-Page Settings Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for changing system configurations or revising user interface controls require users to navigate through settings menus inefficiently using search bars, which is time-consuming and cumbersome.
Innovation Solution
A system that uses natural language input and artificial intelligence to identify and display relevant user interface controls directly on a single page, allowing users to interact with them without additional navigation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If conventional search bar methods are used to find settings, then users can locate relevant controls, but the process is time-consuming and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical navigation system (clicking through menus and using search bars) with an AI-based natural language processing system. Users can directly describe what they want to change in natural language, and the AI system interprets and executes the request, eliminating the need for manual navigation through settings menus.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an AI intermediary layer between the user and the settings controls. This intermediary translates natural language input into the appropriate UI control actions, serving as a mediator that bridges the gap between user intent and system response without requiring users to navigate through conventional menu structures.
2Ease of operation
If users navigate through settings menus to find controls, then they can access system configuration options, but the process is cumbersome and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the complex mechanical navigation process (clicking through multiple menu levels and categories) with a simple natural language interface. Users can speak or type their desired changes in plain language, and the AI system handles the complexity of locating and applying the appropriate settings, significantly simplifying the user interaction model.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables the system to serve itself by automatically interpreting natural language requests and navigating to the appropriate controls without user intervention. The AI system autonomously understands user intent, locates relevant settings, and applies changes, eliminating the need for users to manually navigate complex menu structures.
3Ease of operation
If conventional search functionality is used, then users can search for settings, but additional navigation pages are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the search functionality with the control display functionality into a single integrated process. Instead of requiring separate steps for searching and then navigating to results, the AI system combines these functions by directly presenting the relevant controls on the current page based on natural language input, eliminating the need for additional navigation pages.
Solution Approach 2:
The AI intermediary not only translates natural language to control actions but also dynamically generates and displays relevant controls directly on the current page. This intermediary layer bridges the gap between user intent and control presentation, eliminating the need for users to navigate to separate results pages.
Data Source
AI summary
Disclosed here are methods and systems for dynamically generating user interface controls. In one embodiment, a method comprises receiving, via a search input element, an input; generating an input vector corresponding to the input; identifying a set of user interface controls matching the input, the identifying including comparing the input vector to a set of user interface control vectors; and providing the matching set of interactive user interface controls for presentation on a single user interface page.
