Solution Overview

Problem

Programmers face challenges when developing webpages due to the limitations of different frameworks that are not combinable in conventional webpage builders, forcing them to choose a framework that may not include all required features, leading to wasted time and computing cycles for workarounds and debugging.

Innovation Solution

A web component design and integration system that includes an interface builder allowing users to visually design webpages using preconfigured components and enabling compatibility across multiple frameworks, allowing users to drag-and-drop components, upload custom components, and generate compatible wrapper code for seamless integration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a programmer chooses a particular framework for webpage development, then the development process becomes simpler and more structured, but the webpage loses access to features provided by other frameworks

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of webpage developmentVSAvoidaccess to framework features
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal webpage builder system that can incorporate components from multiple different frameworks simultaneously. The system provides a unified interface that allows programmers to access and integrate features from various frameworks without being constrained to a single framework, thereby achieving both ease of development and broad feature access.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary framework integration layer that acts as a mediator between different frameworks and the webpage builder. This intermediary component enables seamless communication and compatibility between frameworks, allowing programmers to combine features from multiple frameworks while maintaining a simplified development process through the unified builder interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If a programmer uses a conventional webpage builder with a single framework, then the development process is streamlined, but additional features from other frameworks require time-consuming workarounds and debugging

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevelopment efficiencyVSAvoidtime spent on workarounds and debugging
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple framework capabilities into a single integrated webpage builder system. By combining the strengths of different frameworks within one unified platform, the system eliminates the need for programmers to create workarounds or switch between separate tools, thereby maintaining high development efficiency while reducing time spent on debugging and integration issues.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Device complexity

If a programmer selects a framework that does not include all required features, then the development process remains simple, but additional features require re-coding and re-compiling

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimplicity of development processVSAvoidease of obtaining all required features
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the webpage builder into modular components, each capable of utilizing features from different frameworks. This segmentation allows programmers to selectively incorporate only the specific features needed from various frameworks without complicating the overall development process. The modular architecture enables easy integration and removal of features as needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing a web component design and integration system. An embodiment operates by receiving, through an interface, a component file corresponding to adding a first component for a webpage, wherein the component file includes one or more features specific to a first framework. A container corresponding to the first framework is determined, wherein the container comprises one or more functions for accessing the component file, and wherein the one or more functions of the container are operable within a second framework associated with the webpage. A preview of the webpage is generated on the interface including both a visual display of the first component and a visual display of a second component associated with the second framework.
