Role-Based Quick View User Interface for Data Filtering
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of business applications face inefficiencies in accessing relevant information due to the need to sift through large amounts of irrelevant data, as existing systems do not effectively provide quick views of relevant data tailored to user roles, leading to wasted resources and decreased productivity.
Innovation Solution
A user interface system that offers a quick-view mode displaying a subset of data based on user roles, with an option to expand to a full-view mode for more detailed information, allowing users to focus on relevant data and customize their view as needed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a full report containing all available data is displayed to users, then complete information is provided, but users must review irrelevant information which wastes time and resources
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the full report data into multiple organized sections or categories. Instead of presenting all data at once, the system divides the information hierarchy into manageable segments that users can navigate through, allowing them to access complete information while avoiding the need to review all irrelevant data simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by customizing the display of information based on user roles, preferences, and contextual needs. Different users see different subsets of relevant information tailored to their specific requirements, while the underlying complete data remains available. This ensures each user receives high-quality, relevant information without being burdened by irrelevant content.
2Loss of information
If all data is displayed in a single view, then users have access to complete information, but the interface becomes complex and difficult to navigate
Solution Approach 1:
The interface is segmented into multiple organized sections, panels, or hierarchical levels. Data is divided into logical groups that can be independently navigated, reducing the visual complexity while maintaining access to all underlying data through structured navigation mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces additional navigation dimensions such as hierarchical levels, tabs, or drill-down capabilities. Instead of presenting all data in a single flat view, users can navigate through multiple dimensions to access complete information, thereby reducing interface complexity while maintaining data accessibility.
3Productivity
If role-based data filtering is implemented, then relevant information is prioritized, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically applying role-based filtering and customization without requiring complex manual configuration. User roles, preferences, and contextual information are used by the system to automatically prioritize and filter data, reducing system complexity while improving productivity through intelligent automation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes parameter changes by dynamically adjusting data display parameters based on user roles, preferences, and contextual factors. The system modifies filtering criteria, sorting options, and information prioritization automatically, enabling role-based relevance without requiring complex system configuration while maintaining high productivity.
Data Source
AI summary
A quick-view user interface for assisting a user in performing a task and shielding the user from complex data. The quick-view user interface may include a window on a computer screen. The window may comprise a pane for displaying a subset of data, based on the user's role, from a set of data displayed on a full-view user interface. In addition, the full-view user interface may assist a user in performing a task by allowing the user to view the set of data. The full-view user interface may include a window on a computer screen comprising a first pane for displaying a set of data and a link engageable to open a second pane for displaying a subset of the set of data, the subset being selected based on the user's role.
