Unified Platform Standardizing User Interface Content
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The proliferation of computer platforms and devices requires programmers to develop multiple versions of computer code to ensure standardized content and application functionality across different platforms and devices, leading to inefficiencies and increased costs.
Innovation Solution
A unified, consistent, and standardized platform that manages and delivers content, UI, UX, client logic, and channels using a unified design methodology supported by standardized components across all channels, client form-factors, and client versions, allowing for the creation of reusable components and reducing the need for custom software for each platform and device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple versions of computer code are developed for different platforms and devices, then content can be viewed and applications can operate in a standardized fashion across platforms, but time and effort are wasted in tailoring software to various platforms and devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal content management system that uses a single source content repository to serve multiple platforms and devices. The system translates and adapts content from a standardized format to various platform-specific formats automatically, eliminating the need to manually develop separate code versions for each platform while maintaining standardized content display across all devices.
2Adaptability or versatility
If software is tailored to operate on changed platforms or devices, then the software can function on new versions, but distinct code must be written for each platform and device update
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a content management system as an intermediary layer between the single source content repository and multiple target platforms. This mediator automatically handles platform-specific adaptations and translations, allowing the system to maintain compatibility with changing platforms and devices without requiring direct modification of the core content or creation of distinct codebases for each platform.
3Reliability
If separate changes or updates are created for each platform and device, then each platform receives appropriate updates, but resources are wasted that could be better deployed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a centralized content repository where content is created and updated once in a standardized format. The system then automatically distributes and adapts this content to multiple platforms and devices simultaneously. This preliminary action of creating content in a universal format eliminates the need for repeated manual update creation for each platform, conserving human resources while ensuring accurate delivery of updates across all devices.
Data Source
AI summary
A system and method to improve implementation efficiency of user interface content by using standard content attributes used across all platforms and devices to implement a lowest common denominator programming system. Standardized content attributes are used to produce a universal content framework that is implemented identically across various devices and platforms, resulting in a consistent and standardized user experience. The invention allows programming functionality to be universally applied and usable with any device and platform so that significant computer programming and updating inefficiencies are eliminated.
