Versioned Dashboard Widget Layouts for Multi-Display Data Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing dashboard and report widget layouts fail to accommodate multiple functional displays and different data set inputs, leading to distorted content and security vulnerabilities, particularly when displaying sensitive data across various screen sizes and locations.
Innovation Solution
A data model with versioning functionality that classifies and tags data based on classification levels, uses JavaScript libraries to restrict access, and employs IP zone-based access controls to secure sensitive data, allowing for flexible layouts and secure data sharing across different devices and locations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If dashboard layouts are designed for single-screen display, then content display is simple and straightforward, but the layout becomes distorted and hard to read when displayed on multiple screens of different sizes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic dashboard layouts that automatically adjust based on detected screen characteristics. The system detects the number of screens, their resolutions, and arrangements, then dynamically generates appropriate layout configurations. This allows the same dashboard content to be optimally displayed across single-screen, multi-screen, and various resolution environments without manual reconfiguration.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes layout parameters such as panel sizes, positions, and distributions based on screen detection results. By adjusting these parameters dynamically according to the detected display environment, the dashboard maintains proper formatting and readability across different screen configurations without requiring separate design versions.
2Adaptability or versatility
If sensitive data is made accessible across multiple devices and locations, then data sharing and collaboration are improved, but security vulnerabilities and unauthorized access risks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements location-aware and device-specific data access controls. Sensitive data is protected by restricting access based on the user's physical location, device identity, and network environment. Each user receives customized data visibility and access permissions tailored to their specific context, ensuring that sensitive information is only accessible to authorized users in appropriate environments.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary security layer that mediates between data requests and sensitive information. This intermediary mechanism validates user credentials, checks location and device authorization, and controls data transmission accordingly. It acts as a security gateway that enables legitimate access while blocking unauthorized attempts without preventing overall data accessibility.
3Ease of operation
If dashboard content is customized for different user groups and devices, then user experience and functionality are improved, but development time and maintenance complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal dashboard framework that automatically adapts to different user groups and devices through a single codebase. The system detects user roles, device types, and screen configurations, then dynamically generates appropriate customized views without requiring separate development for each scenario. This multi-functional approach serves multiple user needs through one flexible system.
Solution Approach 2:
The dashboard system performs self-customization by automatically detecting user characteristics and generating appropriate layouts and content filters. Instead of requiring manual configuration for each user group, the system autonomously adjusts the dashboard presentation based on detected user roles, device capabilities, and preferences, reducing development and maintenance overhead.
4Loss of information
If data feeds from multiple sources are joined and integrated, then comprehensive data analysis is improved, but data classification and security control become more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments and classifies data from multiple feeds by assigning classification levels and security tags to each data source and dataset. This segmentation allows the system to organize heterogeneous data into structured categories, making it easier to manage, secure, and retrieve comprehensive information without being overwhelmed by the complexity of integrated data streams.
Data Source
AI summary
A dashboard and report widget layout with versioning functionality for multiple devices and location displays addressing a complex role-based matrix and data set input classifications. The present invention may add a testing module for selecting different shared versions of report widgets for a more complete development, testing and deploy life cycle. The present invention also includes network discovery and monitoring, and our data model includes device and location linked to user tokens and tags to track user activity. This allows for browser to database user tagging and tracking allowing for front end to back-end audits and allow for more fine grain access controls.
