Proportional User Interface Element for Shared Account Data Visualization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inefficiencies in deriving insights from shared account activities, as existing methods require navigating multiple user interfaces to compare and combine data, leading to inefficient data processing and resource utilization.
Innovation Solution
A system that generates user interface elements on a user device, visually representing the relative contributions of multiple users by determining ratios or proportions of their contributions to a joint total, allowing for efficient data aggregation and visualization without the need for multiple interfaces.

1Productivity
If users navigate multiple user interfaces to compare and combine data from shared account activities, then users can obtain comprehensive insights, but computing resources are wasted and data processing becomes inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple user interface elements into a single unified visual representation that displays data from multiple users simultaneously. Instead of requiring separate interfaces for each user's data, the system merges all user data into one interface element with proportional segments, eliminating the need for multiple interface navigations and reducing computing resource consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The unified user interface element serves multiple functions: it displays individual user data, compares user contributions, shows proportional relationships, and provides navigation to detailed views all in a single element. This multi-functional design replaces what would otherwise require multiple separate interfaces and operations.
2Loss of information
If users navigate multiple user interfaces to access and compare user data, then users can derive comprehensive insights, but time is lost in navigation and data aggregation
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges data from multiple users into a single visual representation that shows all user contributions simultaneously with proportional segments. This eliminates the time required to navigate between multiple interfaces and manually aggregate data, while preserving complete information about each user's contributions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-processes and pre-organizes user data into proportional segments before presentation. By calculating and displaying the proportional relationships between users in advance within the unified interface element, the system eliminates the need for users to spend time aggregating and comparing data manually.
3Productivity
If a unified user interface element displays proportional contributions of multiple users, then computing resources are conserved and data visualization is efficient, but the interface must accurately represent complex proportional relationships
Solution Approach 1:
The unified user interface element uses different visual properties (such as segment sizes, colors, or positions) to represent different users and their proportional contributions. Each user's data is represented with locally distinct visual characteristics while maintaining accurate proportional relationships, allowing precise representation of complex data relationships.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes visual parameters (such as segment proportions, areas, or positions) of the interface element to accurately reflect the proportional relationships between users' contributions. By dynamically adjusting these visual parameters based on the underlying data, the system maintains precision in representing complex proportional relationships while using a unified interface.

AI summary
In some implementations, a system may identify first and second user identifiers associated with first and second users, respectively. The system may determine first and second totals corresponding to the first and second user identifiers. The system may determine a ratio of the first total to the second total or a proportion of the first or second total relative to a joint total that is a sum of the first and second totals. The system may transmit user interface (UI) data associated with a UI element. The UI data indicates first and second user portions corresponding to the first and second users, and a connecting portion that connects the first and second user portions. Sizes of the first and second user portions are based on the ratio, of the first to second total, or the proportion of the first or second total relative to the joint total.
