Website Content Identification in CMS
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Content creators face difficulties in editing and updating website content without understanding the content model or navigating complex content management systems, often resulting in time-consuming and restrictive processes that limit flexibility in website design and restructuring.
Innovation Solution
A content identification framework within a content management system that includes a content editing application with tagging and identification features, allowing users to explicitly tag and dynamically recognize webpage elements, providing a clear path to underlying content for efficient editing and updating.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users navigate through a content graph to locate content, then they can find content in the content management system, but the process becomes time-consuming and difficult for users without technical knowledge
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a visual webpage representation as an intermediary between the user and the content management system. This visual interface displays webpage elements and their corresponding content paths, allowing users to locate content by viewing a graphical representation rather than navigating complex content graphs. The visual interface acts as a mediator that translates the complex content model into an intuitive visual format.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a visual copy or representation of the webpage structure that mirrors the actual content organization. This visual webpage representation copies the essential structure and content paths in a simplified format, allowing users to understand and navigate the content model without dealing with the full complexity of the underlying system.
2Ease of operation
If a what you see is what you get model is used for content editing, then the interface is simple and intuitive, but rigid constraints lock designers into one layout and limit flexibility
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic system where the visual webpage representation can be interactively modified. Users can select different content paths and update the visual representation accordingly, allowing the interface to adapt to different design needs. The system transitions from a static WYSIWYG model to a dynamic one where the visual representation can be reconfigured without being locked into a fixed layout.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the webpage into distinct elements with associated content paths. Each webpage element can be independently selected and linked to different content, allowing designers to create flexible layouts by combining and repositioning segmented elements rather than being constrained by a monolithic template.
3Reliability
If users need to understand the content model to edit content, then the content management system maintains structural integrity, but the system becomes difficult to use by non-technical users
Solution Approach 1:
The visual webpage representation serves as an intermediary that shields users from the complexity of the content model while maintaining structural integrity. The system internally enforces the content model rules through the visual interface, automatically managing the relationship between webpage elements and content paths without requiring users to understand the underlying model structure.

AI summary
There is provided a system and method for website content identification in a content management system. The method comprises receiving a first plurality of content identifications, wherein each of the first plurality of content identifications corresponds to each of a first plurality of contents and each of a first plurality of content paths in a content management system, determining a second plurality of content identifications, wherein each of the second plurality of content identifications corresponds to each of a second plurality of contents and each of a second plurality of content paths in the content management system, and displaying the first plurality of content identifications and the second plurality of content identification with corresponding webpage elements on a webpage. The method may further comprise receiving a selection of one of the content identifications and retrieving one of the contents or displaying one of the content paths based on the selection.
