Object Deck UI for Managing Alert Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current graphical user interfaces often display data in a cluttered manner, increasing cognitive burden on users and reducing efficiency in performing tasks, especially when handling large volumes of alerts or data.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a computer-implemented method that utilizes object decks to efficiently display and manage objects like alerts, where each object deck is populated with objects matching specific parameters, allowing for simultaneous display of multiple decks in a single UI.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If multiple objects and data are displayed via a user interface, then information completeness is improved, but cognitive burden on users increases
Solution Approach 1:
The user interface is segmented into multiple independent object decks, where each deck displays a specific set of objects with common parameters. This segmentation allows the interface to present comprehensive information across multiple decks while reducing the cognitive burden on each individual deck, making it easier for users to process and understand the information.
2Loss of information
If more data is displayed in a single UI, then information availability is improved, but organization and clarity deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The interface segments data into multiple object decks, each dedicated to a specific set of objects with common parameters (e.g., all alerts, all issues). This segmentation maintains information availability while improving organization and clarity by grouping related objects together in a structured manner.
Solution Approach 2:
Each object deck is designed with local quality specific to its purpose, displaying objects with common parameters in a consistent format. For example, the alerts deck displays alert-specific parameters, while the issues deck displays issue-specific parameters, making each deck optimized for its particular type of information.
3Loss of information
If current user interfaces display all objects, then completeness is improved, but efficiency in performing tasks decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The interface segments objects into multiple decks based on their common parameters and types. This allows users to quickly locate and work with specific types of objects (e.g., alerts, issues) in dedicated decks, improving task efficiency while maintaining completeness of information across all decks.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts and separates different types of objects into distinct object decks, taking out alerts from general object lists and placing them in a dedicated alerts deck. This extraction improves efficiency by allowing users to focus on specific task types without being distracted by unrelated objects.

AI summary
Systems and methods for displaying improved user interfaces are disclosed. The method includes: receiving a request to load a user interface (UI) on a client device, the UI comprising a plurality of object decks. For each of the plurality of object decks, the method includes retrieving object deck parameters; executing a search to identify one or more objects that match the object deck parameters; receiving object data for the identified one or more objects; and communicating the object data to the client device. The client device is configured to render the UI with the plurality of object decks, each object deck includes graphical elements of the one or more objects that match the object deck parameters, the graphical elements generated based on corresponding object data.
