Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing graphical application builders for web development are limited in their ability to efficiently render multiple sections within a single webpage, which can enhance the appearance and functionality of web applications.
Innovation Solution
A system that enables the graphical building of web applications with a single webpage that can have multiple views, where each view can have multiple sections and can contain sections from other views, utilizing a hierarchical structure of nodes for generating views and translating graphical commands into code segments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple sections are implemented within a single webpage, then the appearance and functionality of the webpage are improved, but the complexity of building and managing the web application increases
Solution Approach 1:
The web application is divided into multiple independent sections, each representing a distinct functional unit or view. Each section can be independently configured, rendered, and managed within the graphical application builder, allowing complex webpages to be constructed from modular components without overwhelming complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a hierarchical dimension to the application structure by organizing sections into views, which are themselves organized into the web application. This multi-level hierarchy (application → views → sections) provides a systematic way to manage complexity while enabling rich functionality within a single webpage.
2Productivity
If multiple views with multiple sections are supported, then the webpage rendering efficiency is improved, but the data transfer and management overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The graphical application builder pre-configures the hierarchical structure of views and sections, translating graphical commands into code segments before runtime. This preliminary structuring allows the web client to efficiently render multiple sections within a single webpage without requiring excessive data transfer during execution, as the framework and data relationships are established in advance.
3Reliability
If a hierarchical structure of nodes is implemented for managing views and sections, then the application state management is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a nested hierarchical structure where sections are contained within views, and views are contained within the web application. Each level of the hierarchy is represented as nodes that can reference and contain other nodes. This nesting provides a clear parent-child relationship that simplifies state management and data flow, as each node can independently manage its state while maintaining relationships with its parent and child nodes.
Data Source
AI summary
A system for managing a web application is disclosed. The system is programmed to enable graphically building a web application having one webpage with multiple views, where a view can have multiple sections and can contain a section from another view. The web application includes a hierarchical structure of nodes respectfully for generating the multiple views. Each node can be accessed separately and each node can reference certain other nodes.
