Solution Overview

Problem

The proliferation of online platforms and varying user device capabilities makes it challenging for content providers to efficiently recreate and maintain consistent content across multiple platforms and devices.

Innovation Solution

A system that allows users to create a design once and automatically generate different types of websites based on that design, selecting specific website generation tasks and executing them in the appropriate order to accommodate various website types and user devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If content is recreated individually for each online platform and user device, then platform-specific requirements are met, but the effort and time required increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplatform compatibilityVSAvoidcontent creation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal content management system that allows content to be created once and automatically adapted to multiple online platforms and user devices. The system uses a single content repository that serves as a common source for generating platform-specific content, eliminating the need to recreate content individually for each platform while still meeting their specific requirements.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments content into modular components that can be independently managed and recombined for different platforms. By dividing content into reusable elements, the system enables efficient adaptation to various platform constraints (article lengths, image sizes, hyperlink availability) without requiring complete recreation of content for each platform.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If content is recreated individually for each online platform and user device, then platform-specific constraints are satisfied, but consistency across platforms deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplatform compatibilityVSAvoidcontent consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The universal content management system ensures consistency by using a single source content repository that all platforms draw from. Any content updates or corrections made to the original content are automatically reflected across all platform adaptations, maintaining version control and ensuring that all platforms display consistent information while still meeting their specific formatting requirements.

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

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple versions of content are maintained for different platforms, then platform-specific requirements are met, but the complexity of content management increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveplatform compatibilityVSAvoidcontent management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges the content creation and management processes into a unified platform that handles multiple online platforms and user devices simultaneously. By combining content storage, adaptation logic, and distribution into a single system, the patent reduces the complexity that would otherwise arise from managing separate content versions for each platform.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The content management system automatically adapts content to different platform requirements without requiring manual intervention for each platform. The system self-adjusts content formatting, sizing, and presentation based on platform-specific constraints, eliminating the need for creators to manually manage multiple content versions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
