Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional profile tracking systems are inflexible and inefficient, requiring significant user interaction and computing resources, as they often necessitate navigating multiple graphical user interfaces and using rigid executable language to gather and present user profile journey data.

Innovation Solution

A profile journey visualization system that utilizes a consolidated graphical user interface to extract and present user profile journeys by tracing events, storing associated data, and using a profile identifier as a filter to provide a visual representation of the journey, thereby reducing user interactions and computing resources.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional profile tracking systems are used to gather and present user journey data, then the system can track user profiles, but it requires significant user interaction and navigation through multiple graphical user interfaces

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser journey tracking capabilityVSAvoiduser interaction requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent consolidates multiple graphical user interfaces and tracking functions into a single unified profile tracking interface. This merging eliminates the need for users to navigate through multiple separate interfaces while maintaining comprehensive user journey tracking capabilities, directly resolving the contradiction between reliable tracking and ease of operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The unified graphical user interface performs multiple functions including user journey tracking, profile management, and data presentation in a single system. This multi-functional approach allows the interface to replace several specialized interfaces, reducing user interaction complexity while maintaining comprehensive tracking reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If conventional profile tracking systems are used to gather and present user journey data, then the system can extract profile information, but it requires rigid executable language and significant computing resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprofile information extractionVSAvoidcomputing resource requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses visual representation copies of user journey data instead of requiring complex executable language queries. By presenting data in visual formats such as graphs and charts within the unified interface, the system maintains accurate profile information extraction while eliminating the need for rigid programming language interactions, thereby reducing computing resource requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media that utilize a consolidated graphical user interface for visually presenting the state of a user profile with respect to a workflow journey. For instance, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems provide, for display within a graphical user interface of a client device, a visual representation of a workflow journey comprising a plurality of nodes and one or more edges connecting the plurality of nodes. Additionally, the disclosed systems receive, via the graphical user interface of the client device, an identifier associated with a user profile. The disclosed systems further modify, within the graphical user interface of the client device, the visual representation of the workflow journey to reflect a state of the user profile with respect to the workflow journey.
