Centralized Menu Management Server for Multi-Domain Web Systems
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems face challenges in maintaining web accessibility and security, particularly in managing multiple domains with diverse components, leading to resource wastage and complexity in updating common components across domains, and lack efficient tracking of user actions for alerts.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for system management using a menu management tool that sets and manages menu items and access authorities across domains, enabling unified menu formats, real-time updates, and integrated alert tracking through a network, allowing internal and external users to access and manage alerts collectively.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If inline frame or re-direction method is used to configure menu bar in each domain, then domain-specific customization is achieved, but web accessibility is reduced and security issues arise
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a menu management server as an intermediary between users and multiple domains. This server centrally manages menu bars and provides them to different domains through a standardized interface, eliminating the need for inline frames or re-direction methods while maintaining domain-specific customization capabilities and improving security
2Adaptability or versatility
If different types and designs of components are used in each domain, then domain-specific functionality is achieved, but sense of unity between domains is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal menu bar management system that serves multiple domains through a single standardized interface. The menu management server provides consistent menu bar structures across different domains while allowing configuration of domain-specific items, achieving both unity and functionality
3Adaptability or versatility
If component changes are made in each domain individually, then local customization is achieved, but management complexity increases and resources are wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the management of menu bars across multiple domains into a single centralized system. The menu management server allows administrators to configure and update menu items once, and these changes are automatically reflected across all connected domains, eliminating the need for individual modifications in each domain
4Productivity
If alert is sent using e-mail or text message to users of multiple domains, then notification is achieved, but user action tracking is not possible and individual alert creation is required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where alerts are sent through the menu management server and user responses are automatically tracked and recorded. The system monitors whether users have acknowledged or acted on alerts, providing actionable data without requiring individual alert creation for each user
