Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile device applications lack the ability to effectively integrate additional information from push services into their user interfaces, limiting their utility and functionality.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for integrating push data with application data on a mobile device by using a common element shared between the two, allowing the integration module to combine content data from push services with application data and display it within the user interface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If push data service is integrated with application program, then user interface functionality is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the integration process into distinct functional modules: a push data receiver component that receives pushed data from a push service, an integration component that integrates the pushed data with application data, and a display component that displays the integrated data within the user interface. This modular segmentation allows the system to gain enhanced functionality while managing complexity through organized, independent components.
Solution Approach 2:
The integration component serves multiple functions: it receives pushed data, processes and integrates it with existing application data, and displays it within the current user interface. This multi-functional approach eliminates the need for separate systems for each operation, thereby enhancing versatility without proportionally increasing overall device complexity.
2Loss of information
If pushed data is integrated into application data, then information completeness is improved, but processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The integration component acts as an intermediary between the push data service and the application program. It receives pushed data, processes and integrates it with existing application data, and presents the combined information to the user interface. This intermediary approach ensures information completeness while managing processing complexity through a dedicated intermediate layer.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically receives and integrates pushed data without requiring manual user intervention. The integration component autonomously processes incoming push data, matches it with relevant application data, and displays the integrated information, thereby improving information completeness while minimizing the complexity burden on the user.
Data Source
AI summary
An application program on a mobile device provides a user interface that integrates application data with data from a push data service from a remote server. The integration of application data and pushed data is performed on the basis of a common element shared between the application data and the pushed data.
