Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Large enterprise organizations face challenges in quickly and efficiently performing dynamic validation for changes to content on user-facing portals, while also optimizing computing resources and network bandwidth.
Innovation Solution
A template-driven interface system that uses a parsing engine to dynamically render web forms based on a specification document, allowing for real-time template updates and efficient resource management, leveraging JSON schemas and framework-agnostic architecture.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If conventional techniques are used for updating web pages in large enterprise organizations, then changes can be made to content on user-facing portals, but dynamic validation against schema is slow and computing resources and network bandwidth are consumed inefficiently
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by generating and caching renderable templates locally on client devices before they are needed. The parsing engine creates templates from specification documents and stores them in local cache, so when validation or rendering is needed, the work has already been done beforehand. This eliminates the need for repeated server round-trips and real-time processing during actual use.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates local copies of templates and specification documents on client devices. Instead of repeatedly fetching and processing the same specification documents from the server, the parsing engine generates local copies of renderable templates that can be reused multiple times without additional server communication or processing overhead.
2Adaptability or versatility
If real-time template updates are implemented, then updates can be provided out of regular release cycles, but more computing resources and network bandwidth would be required
Solution Approach 1:
The parsing engine on the client device performs self-service by automatically generating and updating local templates when new specification documents are received. The system updates local caches autonomously without requiring server-side rendering or full page refreshes, enabling real-time adaptability while minimizing network and computing resource usage.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary updates to local template caches when specification changes are detected, so that when users interact with the interface, the updated templates are already available locally. This preliminary action enables real-time adaptability without requiring resource-intensive server communication at the moment of user interaction.
3Ease of operation
If templates are rendered on server side, then centralized control is maintained, but network bandwidth is consumed for transmitting rendered pages to clients
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts the template rendering function from the server and places it on the client device through the parsing engine. The server maintains centralized control by providing the specification documents and schemas, but the actual rendering work is performed locally on client devices, eliminating the need to transmit large rendered pages over the network.
Solution Approach 2:
The system shifts the rendering operation from the server dimension to the client device dimension. Instead of the server generating and transmitting complete rendered pages, the specification documents are transmitted once and then rendered locally on client devices, moving the computational workload to a different dimension (from server to client).
Data Source
AI summary
Aspects of the disclosure relate to a template driven interface system having a parsing engine that may dynamically render web forms given a specification document. In some instances, the architecture may leverage the specification document and enable creation, management, and eventual decommissioning actions. The architecture may be framework-agnostic, allowing for adaptive and agile development of end user interfaces for services developed by different entities or product providers. The different entities may be external entities having control over their assets and related asset schemas. The architecture may allow for real-time updates as compared to scheduled release cycles.
