Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional asset management systems fail to account for user preferences and varying data needs across different roles within an organization, leading to inefficient data access and increased network traffic, which compromises data integrity and resource utilization.

Innovation Solution

The development of an object page configuration interface that allows users to customize their view by selecting and arranging widget components in a horizontal and vertical layout, enabling storage of user-specific templates and dynamic instantiation of relevant data, reducing unnecessary data transmission and improving resource efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If conventional asset management systems provide access to all asset information for all users, then complete data availability is achieved, but network traffic increases and data integrity is compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata availabilityVSAvoidnetwork traffic
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements role-based customization where each user receives a tailored object page configuration based on their specific role, objectives, and responsibilities. Users can select and arrange widget components relevant to their function, ensuring they receive only the information they need rather than all available data, thus reducing network traffic while maintaining data availability for each user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The asset management information is segmented into modular widget components that can be independently selected and configured. This segmentation allows the system to transmit only the necessary data subsets to each user based on their profile, reducing overall network traffic while ensuring each user receives complete information for their specific needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If conventional asset management systems provide uniform access to all users, then system simplicity is maintained, but user-specific needs and preferences are not met

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser preference accommodationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary configuration by automatically providing a default object page template based on the user's role upon first access. Users can then customize their template by selecting and arranging widget components according to their specific preferences and needs. This preliminary setup reduces the complexity burden on users while still accommodating individual preferences.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Users are empowered to self-configure their own object page templates by selecting from available widget components and arranging them according to their preferences. The system provides the tools and default configurations, but each user independently tailors their interface, reducing the need for complex system-wide customization while meeting individual needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If all users receive complete asset data, then data completeness is ensured, but resource utilization efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata completenessVSAvoidresource utilization efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system ensures data completeness for each user's specific needs by configuring templates that include all necessary widget components for their role, while excluding irrelevant data. This localized data delivery maintains reliability for each user's workflow while significantly improving overall resource utilization efficiency by avoiding transmission of unnecessary data across the network.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

4Loss of information

If the system transmits all available data to each user, then information completeness is maintained, but network bandwidth consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidnetwork bandwidth
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and transmits only the specific data subsets relevant to each user's role and preferences by utilizing customized object page templates with selected widget components. This extraction approach maintains information completeness for each user's specific needs while dramatically reducing overall network bandwidth consumption compared to transmitting all available data to all users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
