Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing data repositories, such as spreadsheets, are not optimized for real-time access and ad hoc reporting, especially on mobile devices, leading to delays and inefficiencies in data sharing and updates, particularly in industries like real estate where multiple users need to access and interact with similar data.
Innovation Solution
A graphical platform that enables users to interact with unstructured data across various devices, allowing for flexible creation, maintenance, and access of data while providing graphical interfaces, filtering tools, and secure sharing of reports and analytics, leveraging location information and core fields to enhance data visualization and collaboration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If data is stored in static data repositories like spreadsheets and updated periodically by a central source, then security and control of modifications are maintained, but information delivery to users is delayed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms static data repositories into dynamic web-based databases that enable real-time updates and access. The system allows multiple users to simultaneously view and interact with data without compromising security, as the central administrator maintains control over data structure and access permissions while enabling timely information delivery to all users.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a web server as an intermediary between the central data source and multiple users. This mediator enables real-time data distribution to numerous users simultaneously, eliminating the delay of periodic updates while maintaining centralized control. The web server handles requests from multiple users and delivers updated information instantly to all authorized users.
2Adaptability or versatility
If data is accessed using mobile devices, then users can access data from various locations, but ad hoc reporting and data analysis are not optimized and become time consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal web-based platform that functions across multiple devices including mobile phones, tablets, and computers. The system provides multi-functional capabilities enabling users to not only view data but also perform ad hoc reporting, filtering, sorting, and analysis directly through mobile browsers, transforming mobile devices from simple data viewers into full-featured data analysis tools.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds new dimensions of interaction by implementing graphical interfaces, map views, and visual analytics tools that work on mobile devices. Instead of limiting mobile access to simple table views, the system enables users to interact with data through multiple dimensional representations including geographical maps, filtered views, and custom reports, significantly enhancing mobile data analysis productivity.
3Device complexity
If data is displayed only in table format, then data storage is simple, but data visualization and user understanding are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments data presentation into multiple view types including table views, map views, graphical representations, and filtered views. Instead of presenting all data in a single table format, the system divides information into different organizational structures and visual formats, allowing users to select the most appropriate view for their specific analytical needs while maintaining the simplicity of the underlying database structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables dynamic parameter changes in data presentation by allowing users to modify display parameters such as filtering criteria, sorting options, view types (table, map, graphical), and data groupings. These parameter changes transform the same underlying data into different visual formats and organizational structures, enhancing user understanding without complicating the core data storage mechanism.
Data Source
AI summary
A graphical platform enables users to leverage unstructured data in many different ways via access with many different types of devices that can be located practically anywhere with network connectivity. The graphical platform provides users with flexibility in how they create, maintain, and access the unstructured data, while providing powerful tools to enable the users to quickly extract meaningful information from the unstructured data. The graphical platform leverages location information in the unstructured data to enable providing a map and/or other graphical interfaces that show at least some of the records in the unstructured data. Users can then filter the information to narrow down the records to those of interest to respective different users. From the resulting display of records, users can select a specific record, access additional secure documents associated with the record, and/or perform other interactions with the data in the record.
