Solution Overview

Problem

Developing and maintaining numerous pop-up windows for various feedback messages in computer applications is resource-intensive, consuming significant memory, processing time, and requiring extensive coding and testing.

Innovation Solution

A system that uses a reusable message object and pop-up panel module, where a controller processes user actions, invokes validation calls, and displays feedback messages stored in an object, allowing the same pop-up panel to be used for different actions, reducing the need for multiple pop-up window configurations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a specialized pop-up window is created for each feedback message, then the feedback can be accurately conveyed to the user, but the memory consumption and processing time increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeedback message accuracyVSAvoidmemory consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a single universal pop-up panel that can display multiple types of feedback messages (error, warning, notification, etc.) by using a reusable message object that stores different message contents. This eliminates the need to create separate specialized pop-up windows for each message type, thereby reducing memory consumption while maintaining accurate feedback communication.

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

2Reliability

If a specialized pop-up window is created for each feedback message, then the feedback can be accurately conveyed to the user, but the development time and coding requirements increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeedback message accuracyVSAvoiddevelopment time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a single reusable pop-up panel that handles multiple feedback message types through a unified message object structure. This universal approach eliminates the need for developers to create and maintain separate pop-up window code for each message type, significantly reducing development time and coding requirements while ensuring accurate feedback delivery.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent separates the pop-up panel interface from the message content by using a distinct message object that stores feedback information. This segmentation allows the pop-up panel to remain a single reusable component while message content can be independently configured and stored, reducing the complexity of development and maintenance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If a specialized pop-up window is created for each feedback message, then the feedback can be accurately conveyed to the user, but the maintenance requirements and support complexity increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeedback message accuracyVSAvoidmaintenance complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a single universal pop-up panel that serves all feedback message types through a reusable message object. This universal design reduces maintenance complexity by eliminating the need to update and maintain multiple separate pop-up window implementations, while still ensuring accurate and appropriate feedback communication for different scenarios.

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

AI summary

One embodiment is directed to a system or pop-up panel module for configuring a pop-up panel. The system or module include a controller and/or processor. The controller and/or processor may be configured to receive a plurality of actions requiring a validation, and invoke a call to a model layer to validate at least one of the plurality of actions. Based on a result of the validation, a message corresponding to the at least one of the plurality of actions is retrieved, and the retrieved message is stored in an object. The controller and/or processor may be further configured to provide a pop-up panel that references contents of the object and displays the message stored in the object, and to re-use the object to store a message for each of the plurality of actions requiring validation.
