Multi-App Home Page for Role-Based Information Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Business software systems fail to efficiently present relevant information to users based on their unique needs, as data is often scattered across multiple sources and existing solutions do not adapt to individual user roles and priorities.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for displaying relevant information through a multi-app home page with configurable application tiles and Variable Content Packets, which adapt to user-selected domains and roles, providing tailored insights and allowing real-time updates and user-configurable filtering and layout.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If data is collected from multiple sources to provide comprehensive information, then information completeness is improved, but information relevance to individual users deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the comprehensive data set into role-specific information subsets. Different user roles (e.g., sales, marketing, executive) receive customized information packets containing only the data relevant to their specific needs, while collectively covering all available data sources. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining information completeness across all users while ensuring each user receives only relevant information.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by tailoring the information content, format, and detail level to each user's specific role and preferences. Each user interface is customized with locally optimized information quality - for example, executives receive high-level summaries while operational staff receive detailed data - thereby maintaining overall information completeness while maximizing relevance for each local user context.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the system provides customized information for each user role, then information relevance is improved, but system complexity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal backend architecture that handles multiple user roles and customization requirements through a single multi-functional system. The system uses role-based templates and configurable parameters to serve diverse user needs without requiring separate systems for each user type, thereby maintaining high information relevance while controlling system complexity through standardized reusable components.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent manages system complexity by using parameter-based customization rather than structural complexity. User roles are defined by configurable parameters (permissions, data sources, display preferences) that can be adjusted without changing the underlying system architecture. This allows the system to adapt to different user needs through parameter changes rather than through complex conditional logic or multiple code paths.
3Quantity of substance
If all available data is displayed to users, then information completeness is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and displays only the most relevant information for each user role, taking out unnecessary data from the complete data set. The system identifies and removes redundant or irrelevant information based on user preferences and role definitions, presenting a streamlined view that maintains essential information completeness while dramatically improving interface simplicity and ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies partial action by displaying a curated subset of available data rather than all possible information. The system provides just enough information for each user to perform their tasks effectively - not too little to be useful, not too much to be overwhelming - thereby optimizing the balance between information completeness and operational ease through selective data presentation.
