Node Task Data Display with User-Specific Variable Sorting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for displaying node task data in workflows are inflexible, as they rely on fixed variables, making it difficult to customize the display of node task data according to different user interests and task types, particularly in scenarios like insurance where different variables are prioritized for different types of insurance.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that receive a query instruction with a user identifier and node identifier, query node task data and variable configuration information, extract relevant variable values, and sort and display node task data based on user-defined configurations, allowing for personalized sorting and display of node task data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If fixed variables are used for displaying node task data, then the display structure is simple and stable, but the system lacks flexibility to adapt to different user interests and task types
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the variable configuration system into two distinct parts: fixed variables (provided by the system) and interest variables (selected by users). This segmentation allows the system to maintain a simple core structure while enabling customization through user-selected interest variables, thereby resolving the contradiction between flexibility and complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic variable selection capability where users can dynamically choose which interest variables to display based on their specific needs and task types. This dynamic adjustment mechanism enables the system to adapt to different scenarios (e.g., property insurance vs. life insurance) without requiring a complete restructuring of the display system, thus achieving flexibility without excessive complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If fixed sorting variables are used for node task data, then the sorting process is efficient and straightforward, but the system cannot prioritize different variables for different task types
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-providing a set of common interest variables that are relevant to different task types. Users can directly select from these pre-configured variables without needing to create custom variables from scratch. This preliminary preparation maintains ease of operation while enabling adaptive prioritization for different task types.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables parameter changes by allowing users to dynamically change which variables are used for sorting and display based on task type. For example, property insurance tasks can prioritize claim priority level, while life insurance tasks can prioritize underwriting amount. This parameter flexibility is achieved through a simple selection mechanism that does not complicate the sorting process.
3Adaptability or versatility
If custom variable selection is enabled for each user, then the system becomes highly adaptable to individual needs, but the configuration and setup process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by creating a unified variable configuration system that serves multiple purposes: it provides fixed variables for basic display, offers interest variables for customization, and supports different task types (property insurance, life insurance, etc.) through the same interface. This multi-functional design enables individual customization without requiring separate configuration systems for different scenarios, thus avoiding excessive complexity.

AI summary
The present application relates to a node task data display method. The method comprises: receiving a query instruction for node task data, the query instruction carrying a user identifier and a node identifier; querying node task data associated with the user identifier from a node task data table associated with the node identifier according to the query instruction; querying variable configuration information associated with the user identifier from a variable configuration information table associated with the node identifier; extracting a variable value corresponding to the variable configuration information from each piece of queried node task data; and displaying in order each piece of queried node task data according to the extracted variable value of each piece of node task data.
