Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current communication systems rely heavily on text-based methods, which can lead to misinterpretation and inefficiency in conveying meaning, especially in visual communications, and traditional user interfaces are cumbersome for managing and interacting with digital images and content.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method and system using an infinite cylinder user interface that allows users to create, share, and manage visual templates with embedded images and advertisements, enabling a more efficient and flexible way to design and build customer experiences, visualize products and services, and distribute content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If text-based communication methods are used, then communication speed and efficiency are improved, but communication clarity and meaning accuracy deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines text-based communication with visual image communication into a unified system. Users can simultaneously send both text messages and images, merging two communication modalities to achieve both speed (from text) and clarity (from images), directly resolving the contradiction between communication efficiency and meaning accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces images as an intermediary element that mediates between the sender's intent and the receiver's understanding. Images serve as visual mediators that clarify ambiguous text messages, providing contextual information that bridges the gap between quick text communication and accurate meaning transmission.
2Device complexity
If traditional user interfaces are used for managing digital images, then system simplicity is maintained, but user interaction efficiency and ease of operation deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the traditional two-dimensional flat interface into a three-dimensional cylindrical interface that can be rotated and viewed from multiple angles. This dimensional change allows users to interact with digital images in a more intuitive spatial manner, improving ease of operation while maintaining manageable system complexity through the use of standard 3D graphics technologies.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic rotation and interaction capabilities to the user interface, allowing users to rotate the cylindrical interface and interact with images in real-time. This dynamic behavior enables more efficient image management and interaction compared to static traditional interfaces, while the underlying system remains relatively simple by leveraging existing 3D rendering capabilities.

AI summary
A computer-implemented method for designing and building a complete customer experience includes receiving a selection of an experience; creating one or more visual templates; receiving selections and mappings of components in the experience; sharing the experience with the components to one or more additional users; causing ordering of one or more products and services associated with the components; and creating tracking comparisons for improving the experience relative to a target.
