Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In various industries, user-specific data is often scattered across multiple databases and presented in incompatible formats, making it difficult for users and presenters to access and understand effectively, leading to inefficiencies in data presentation and utilization.
Innovation Solution
A customizable electronic display system that aggregates user-related medical data from multiple sources, filters it in real-time, and presents it in a format tailored to the user's needs, including location-based and demographic requirements, using a transformative integration engine and transaction management system to manage data flow and access.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If data is stored in multiple specialized databases across different sources, then data coverage and completeness are improved, but data accessibility and ease of understanding deteriorate due to incompatible formats and scattered storage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple specialized databases from different sources into a single unified electronic whiteboard display. The system aggregates data from various databases (e.g., patient demographics, clinical notes, lab results, imaging) and presents them together in one integrated interface, eliminating the need for users to access multiple separate systems and resolving the issue of scattered data storage.
Solution Approach 2:
The electronic whiteboard system serves as a universal platform that can display multiple types of data formats simultaneously. It handles structured data (lab results), unstructured data (clinical notes), and visual data (imaging) within a single system, making the system adaptable to diverse data sources and formats while providing consistent access.
2Quantity of substance
If data from multiple sources is aggregated, then data completeness is improved, but data presentation complexity increases due to format incompatibilities
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by customizing the display format and level of detail for each specific data type based on its nature and the user's needs. Different sections of the whiteboard can present data in different formats (e.g., tabular for lab results, free text for notes, visual for images) while maintaining overall system integration, thus managing complexity through localized adaptation.
Solution Approach 2:
The electronic whiteboard provides dynamic presentation capabilities where the display can be customized and adjusted based on user preferences, session requirements, and data types. The system can dynamically reorganize, filter, and format data as needed, allowing flexible adaptation to different presentation scenarios without requiring complex static structures.
3Measurement precision
If presenters search for specific data pieces across multiple sources, then data accuracy is improved, but time efficiency deteriorates due to extensive searching
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-aggregating and organizing data from multiple sources into a unified structure before the presenter needs it. Data is continuously updated and organized in the background, so when a presenter needs specific information, it is already available in the integrated display without requiring manual searching across multiple databases.
Solution Approach 2:
The electronic whiteboard acts as an intermediary layer between multiple data sources and the presenter. It provides a unified access point that mediates queries and retrieves data from underlying databases, shielding the presenter from the complexity of multiple data sources while ensuring accurate data retrieval through the integrated system.
4Ease of operation
If data is presented in standardized formats, then ease of understanding is improved, but adaptability to user-specific needs deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements dynamic customization where the presentation format can be adapted in real-time based on user preferences, roles, and specific needs. Users can customize the whiteboard display to show different data types, formats, and levels of detail according to their requirements, while the system maintains the ability to present standardized formats when needed, providing flexibility without sacrificing understandability.

AI summary
Described herein is a system in which multiple display devices may be located remotely throughout a facility. The system receives location information for a number of users within the facility. The system is able to identify a set of users collocated with a particular display device and generate a set of configuration settings specific to that set of users. Information provided by the system, either in response to an information request or automatically, may be formatted and/or filtered according to the generated set of configuration settings. In some embodiments, the set of configuration settings may be compiled from each of the users in the set of users based on priority.
