Solution Overview

Problem

Existing project management systems require manual selection and viewing of projects within individual applications, leading to low management efficiency due to poor data association across multiple applications.

Innovation Solution

A data processing method and apparatus that enables the creation of a unified view across multiple applications by editing target data sources and work items, retrieving associated data, and displaying it in a predetermined view format.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual selection and viewing of projects within individual applications is used, then users can view project information in each application, but management efficiency is low due to poor data association across multiple applications

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemanagement efficiencyVSAvoiddata association across applications

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges project information from multiple different applications into a single unified view. The system collects work items and project data from multiple data sources (different applications) and presents them together in one consolidated interface, allowing users to manage projects across applications without manually switching between each application.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal project management view that can display and manage project information from multiple different application types. This unified view serves multiple functions: it aggregates data from various sources, provides a consolidated display, and enables cross-application project management, making the system adaptable to different application contexts.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Loss of time

If users manually select and view projects in each application, then complete project information can be accessed, but the process is time-consuming and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvetime for project managementVSAvoidease of project management

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of timeVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically collecting and organizing work items and project data from multiple applications in advance. The unified view is pre-populated with relevant information, so users don't need to manually gather data from each application when they need to view or manage projects, significantly reducing the time required.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary unified view layer between the user and the multiple application data sources. This intermediary automatically retrieves and consolidates information from various applications, presenting it in a single organized interface. Users interact with this intermediary rather than directly with multiple applications, making project management easier and faster.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
