Dynamic Application Navigation via Machine Learning Route Optimization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties navigating efficiently through complex applications to reach desired screens or functions, especially when starting from a screen other than the home screen.
Innovation Solution
A computing platform receives a user's request for navigation assistance, identifies the current and destination nodes, and uses a machine learning model to generate an optimized navigation route. This route is then dynamically presented to the user through a series of user interfaces, guiding them to the desired destination while avoiding unavailable or suboptimal computing resources.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If applications provide more robust features and become more complex, then functionality and capabilities are improved, but navigation difficulty and user effort increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a navigation assistance system as an intermediary between the user and the complex application. This system includes a computing platform that receives navigation requests, determines current and destination nodes, generates optimized navigation routes, and provides guidance instructions to users. The intermediary translates complex application navigation into simple, step-by-step directions, resolving the contradiction between rich functionality and ease of navigation.
Solution Approach 2:
The navigation assistance system implements feedback by continuously monitoring the user's current location within the application and comparing it against the planned navigation route. The system dynamically adjusts and updates navigation instructions based on the user's progress, providing real-time guidance that adapts to the user's actual navigation state, thereby simplifying operation in complex applications.
2Productivity
If users navigate through complex applications manually, then full application functionality is accessed, but time to reach destination increases
Solution Approach 1:
The navigation assistance system performs preliminary action by pre-calculating optimized navigation routes before the user begins navigation. The computing platform determines the optimal path from the current node to the destination node in advance, considering the application's structure and available navigation options. This preliminary route planning eliminates the need for users to explore and discover the path manually, significantly reducing navigation time while maintaining access to full application functionality.
3Ease of operation
If dynamic user interfaces are generated to guide navigation, then navigation assistance is improved, but system complexity and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The navigation assistance system applies segmentation by dividing the navigation guidance into discrete, manageable components. The system segments the navigation route into individual nodes and transitions, providing guidance for each step separately through dynamic user interfaces. This segmentation simplifies the complex task of navigating through entire applications by breaking it down into simple, sequential instructions, making the system more manageable despite the complexity of the underlying application structure.

AI summary
Arrangements for optimized navigation through an application are provided. In some examples, a request for application navigation assistance may be received from a user via an application executing on a device. The request for assistance may include identification of a desired destination within the application. A destination node associated with the identified destination may be identified and a current node of the may be identified. Based on the current node and the destination node, a machine learning model may be executed to output an optimized navigation route from the current node to the destination node. One or more user interfaces may then be dynamically generated and transmitted to the user to facilitate navigation through the application from the current node to the destination node.
