Solution Overview

Problem

Existing user interface management platforms lack the ability to associate scripts with widgets, limiting their functionality and adversely affecting the user experience by restricting complex control over widget behaviors.

Innovation Solution

A dynamic user interface management platform that allows users to select widgets, provide editable properties, and assign customized scripts to control widget behaviors, enabling efficient and effective control of widget interactions and data display.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing user interface management platforms are used, then the platform structure is simple and easy to operate, but the functionality is limited and complex control over widget behaviors cannot be achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoidplatform structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The platform architecture is segmented into distinct layers: a configuration layer for script writing and a execution layer for widget behavior control. This segmentation allows the platform to maintain structural simplicity while enabling complex functionality through separable, modular components that can be independently developed and maintained.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A script intermediary mechanism is introduced between the user interface and widget execution. Scripts serve as intermediaries that mediate between simple platform operations and complex widget behaviors, enabling enhanced functionality without directly complicating the core platform structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If scripts are associated with widgets, then complex control over widget behaviors is enabled, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewidget behavior controlVSAvoidplatform architecture
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The scripting system is designed as a universal mechanism that can be applied to any widget type through standardized interfaces. This multi-functionality approach allows a single script execution framework to control diverse widget behaviors, reducing the need for separate complex systems for each widget type.

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

Solution Approach 2:

Widget behaviors are controlled by changing parameters through scripts rather than restructuring the widget architecture. The script system modifies widget operation parameters dynamically, enabling complex behavior control while maintaining the original widget structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If customizable scripts are allowed for widget properties, then user experience and efficiency are enhanced, but the ease of operation decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewidget customizationVSAvoidscript assignment
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The platform implements partial customization by allowing scripts to be assigned only to specific widget properties that benefit from complex control, rather than requiring scripts for all properties. This selective approach maintains ease of operation for standard properties while enabling advanced customization where needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses lightweight, simple script templates that can be quickly created, assigned, and modified. These disposable script objects replace complex configuration procedures, allowing users to enhance widget functionality through simple, replaceable script assignments rather than permanent structural changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

AI summary

Methods, systems, and storage media for providing a dynamic user interface management platform are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: receive, at a user interface and using at least one processor associated with a user interface management platform, a selection of a widget to include in a customized dashboard; provide, at the user interface and by the user interface management platform, an editable property of the selected widget; receive, at the entry field and using the at least one processor, the script for controlling a behavior of the editable property of the selected widget; and control, using the at least one processor and as a result of the received customized script, the behavior of the selected widget.
