Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems require users to navigate between different interfaces or systems to manage validated and exception artifacts, which is burdensome, especially with large volumes, and prone to human error and inefficiency.

Innovation Solution

A unified graphical user interface that allows concurrent handling of validated and exception artifacts, with dynamic components that switch between editable and uneditable states, enabling seamless transition and modification of attributes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users navigate between different interfaces or systems to manage validated and exception artifacts, then they can access and manage both artifact types, but the operation becomes burdensome and time-consuming especially with large volumes of artifacts

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of managing artifactsVSAvoidtime for navigating interfaces
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the management of validated artifacts and exception artifacts into a single unified interface. The system displays both artifact types simultaneously in different sections of the same user interface, allowing users to access and manage both types without navigating between separate interfaces or systems, thereby reducing operational burden and time consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The unified interface performs multiple functions by handling both validated and exception artifacts within a single system. The interface can display, edit, validate, and manage different artifact types concurrently, making it a multi-functional tool that replaces the need for multiple specialized interfaces

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

2Reliability

If users manually review and correct exception artifacts, then validation errors can be resolved, but the process is time-consuming and susceptible to human error

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of artifact validationVSAvoidtime for reviewing and correcting artifacts
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements automated validation that provides immediate feedback when artifacts are entered or modified. The validation process automatically checks artifacts against predefined criteria and returns error messages or validation results, allowing users to quickly identify and correct issues without manual review, thereby improving reliability while reducing time consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-validation of artifacts using automated rules and criteria. The validation process does not require manual intervention for basic checks, as the system automatically identifies errors, flags problematic artifacts, and even suggests corrections, reducing both time and human error in the validation process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Productivity

If a unified interface displays both exception and validated artifacts simultaneously, then user efficiency is enhanced, but the interface complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser efficiency in artifact managementVSAvoidcomplexity of user interface
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The unified interface is segmented into distinct sections or panels, with one area dedicated to displaying exception artifacts and another to validated artifacts. This segmentation allows both artifact types to be visible simultaneously while maintaining visual organization and reducing cognitive load, thereby enhancing productivity without excessive complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses spatial arrangement and layout design to organize different artifact types in different dimensions of the interface. By distributing artifacts across different areas, using tabs, panels, or hierarchical organization, the interface manages complexity through dimensional arrangement rather than linear complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

AI summary

A method for concurrently handling multiple artifact types includes displaying a multi-artifact handling user interface for concurrently handling a corpus of exception artifacts and a corpus of validated artifacts, wherein the multi-artifact handling user interface includes: a first dynamic artifact user interface component that displays the corpus of exception artifacts in an editable state during a first period, a second dynamic artifact user interface component that displays the corpus of validated artifacts in an un-editable state during the first period, and a transition control toggle button that is selectable to transition: the first dynamic artifact user interface component from displaying the corpus of exception artifacts to displaying the corpus of validated artifacts during a second period, and the second dynamic artifact user interface component from displaying the corpus of validated artifacts to displaying the corpus of exception artifacts during the second period.
