Solution Overview

Problem

Existing techniques for managing information on computer systems are cumbersome and inefficient, particularly in battery-operated devices, requiring complex user interfaces and wasting energy and time. Existing methods are cumbersome and time-consuming, often involving multiple key presses or keystrokes, which is inefficient and wastes user time and device energy.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a method and interface that includes detecting user input to initiate a transaction request, displaying graphical user interface elements, rotating them based on device movement, and optimizing account provisioning and transaction configurations to reduce cognitive burden and conserve power.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If existing techniques are used for managing information on computer systems, then the operations can be performed, but the user interface becomes complex and time-consuming requiring multiple key presses or keystrokes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interface simplicityVSAvoidtime for transaction completion
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the transaction interface into modular components including a reader indicator portion, a transaction portion with selectable options, and an account selection portion. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently, reducing the overall complexity and time required for information management operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If existing techniques are used for managing information on computer systems, then the operations can be performed, but device energy is wasted due to complex interfaces and multiple inputs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterface efficiencyVSAvoiddevice energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically detecting and presenting relevant transaction options and account selections based on the detected reader type and transaction context. This eliminates the need for users to manually navigate through multiple screens and make sequential selections, thereby reducing both operational complexity and energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If existing techniques are used for managing information on computer systems, then transactions can be processed, but cognitive burden on the user increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransaction processing speedVSAvoidcognitive burden
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides self-service by automatically analyzing the transaction context, detecting the reader type, and presenting pre-configured transaction options and account selections. This self-service approach reduces the cognitive burden on users as the system handles the complex decision-making and information retrieval processes automatically.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
