Dynamic UI Canvas Layout for Real-Time Legible Recomposition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current digital communication platforms lack real-time user configurability and dynamic resizing of user interface (UI) components, failing to accommodate user preferences and ensure legible viewing of UI elements.
Innovation Solution
A system that allows users to dynamically configure a UI for communication sessions by placing selector components in a canvas section, determining optimal sizes based on existing assets and section properties, and recompositing assets in real-time to ensure legibility and fit.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users are allowed to dynamically configure UI components in real-time, then user preferences and customization are accommodated, but system complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The UI configuration system transitions from static to dynamic, allowing users to modify UI component placement, selection, and visibility in real-time during communication sessions. The system continuously monitors user interactions and automatically updates the UI layout without requiring full reconfiguration, enabling adaptive customization while maintaining operational simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-establishes UI configuration templates and component libraries that users can select from, reducing the complexity of custom UI creation. Common UI patterns and layouts are prepared in advance, allowing users to quickly customize interfaces by selecting from predefined options rather than building from scratch, thus balancing adaptability with system manageability.
2Manufacturing precision
If UI components are dynamically resized to ensure legibility, then content visibility is improved, but rendering performance and processing time may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts UI component parameters such as size, font scale, and resolution based on real-time calculations of optimal legibility. When components are resized, the system modifies rendering parameters to maintain content clarity, using adaptive algorithms that balance legibility requirements with rendering efficiency to prevent performance degradation.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of completely re-rendering the entire UI when components are resized, the system applies partial rendering updates only to the specific components that have changed size. This selective rendering approach maintains legibility for resized components while minimizing the overall processing burden and preserving rendering performance for the rest of the interface.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple canvas assets are recomposited in real-time, then user interface flexibility is enhanced, but computational load and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements periodic batch processing for UI recomposition operations, where multiple small-scale configuration changes are accumulated and processed together at optimized intervals rather than triggering immediate individual recompositions. This reduces the frequency of full recomposition operations while maintaining interface flexibility, thereby lowering overall computational load and energy consumption.

AI summary
A system presents, at a client device connected to a communication session, a user interface (“UI”), the UI including a canvas section with one or more canvas assets and an asset selector section with one or more selector components representing canvas assets. The system receives a request to place a chosen selector component from the asset selector section into a specified location in the canvas section. In response to the request, the system identifies a type and size properties of the canvas assets and size properties of the canvas section; determines a size for the chosen selector component; and presents the chosen selector component within the specified location in the canvas section at the determined size while concurrently recompositing the canvas assets.
