Solution Overview

Problem

Existing enterprise platform systems fail to seamlessly navigate between network application interfaces, leading to data integrity issues and resource inefficiencies, as changes made in one application are not consistently reflected in others, causing users to re-enter data.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method that generates and updates network application interfaces by using session identifiers to link data between different network applications, ensuring that changes are synchronized across interfaces, thereby reducing redundant iterations and maintaining data integrity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users navigate between multiple network applications independently, then each application can be accessed and operated, but data consistency deteriorates and redundant data entry increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveNavigation between applicationsVSAvoidData consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple network application interfaces into a unified interface that displays data from different applications simultaneously. The system combines feed data, profile data, and activity data from multiple applications into a single coherent view, allowing users to navigate between applications while maintaining data consistency through the unified interface architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The unified interface serves multiple functions across different network applications. It can display feed data from one application, profile information from another, activity data from a third, and enable users to perform operations in any of the connected applications without leaving the unified interface, thus maintaining data consistency across all applications.

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

2Reliability

If data is synchronized across all network applications, then data integrity is improved, but system complexity and resource allocation increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveData integrityVSAvoidSystem architecture
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a unified interface as an intermediary layer between multiple network applications and the user. This intermediary manages data synchronization by receiving data from various applications, standardizing it into a common format, and distributing it appropriately. The intermediary handles the complexity of data mapping and synchronization logic, isolating the applications from direct complex interactions while maintaining data integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If a unified interface displays data from multiple applications, then user time spent on data entry is reduced, but interface complexity and data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveUser efficiencyVSAvoidInterface architecture
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The unified interface is segmented into distinct functional sections, each handling specific types of data from different applications. The interface divides data presentation into manageable segments such as feed data section, profile section, and activity section, allowing complex data to be organized and displayed systematically without overwhelming the user or the system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system transforms data from various applications by changing its parameters into a standardized format suitable for unified display. Data mapping processes convert different data structures, formats, and schemas into a common parameter set that the unified interface can handle consistently, reducing the apparent complexity for users while managing the transformation complexity in the background.

Inventive Principle:
