Event Axis Data Management for Office Applications
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing office applications generate numerous types of data that cannot be managed centrally, leading to separate and laborious management of data associated with the same event, making it time-consuming to obtain information.
Innovation Solution
An event-based data management method and device that creates an event axis connecting events and work boxes, allowing for uniform management of different types of data from various applications, with participant privileges and real-time state indication, enabling centralized and visualized data management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If data from various office applications are managed separately at respective levels, then each application can perform its particular function, but the data cannot be managed centrally and it becomes time-consuming to obtain information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges data from multiple office applications into a unified event-based management system. Different application data (email, calendar, memorandum, etc.) are integrated under a common event axis, allowing centralized management and reducing the time to access and correlate information across applications.
Solution Approach 2:
The event axis serves as an intermediary structure that connects and coordinates data from various applications. By introducing this intermediate layer, the system enables centralized management while preserving the functional independence of individual applications, thus improving data accessibility without losing operational capabilities.
2Ease of operation
If multiple applications are extended at several levels with sub-levels created, then applications can be accessed more conveniently, but the complexity of managing various types of data increases
Solution Approach 1:
The event axis provides a universal framework that can accommodate data from multiple applications and types. Instead of creating separate complex structures for each application, the system uses a multi-functional event-based approach that handles diverse data types uniformly, reducing overall management complexity while maintaining accessibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a new dimensional approach to data organization by using events as the organizing principle rather than traditional hierarchical folders or application-specific structures. This dimensional shift allows data to be accessed and managed from multiple perspectives simultaneously, simplifying the management of complex multi-application data.
