Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current tools and platforms based on data management fail to meet user requirements for displaying data information, leading to a reduction in user experience.
Innovation Solution
An information processing method and apparatus that concurrently displays a first tree view and a Gantt chart, allowing for the simultaneous display of work item association information and scheduling information, with filter conditions and view switching options to tailor the display to user needs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If multiple types of information (work item association information and scheduling information) are displayed separately using traditional tools, then each type of information can be displayed clearly, but the user experience deteriorates due to the need to switch between multiple views and the inability to obtain a comprehensive overview
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the tree view (displaying work item association information) and the Gantt chart (displaying scheduling information) into a single integrated display interface. This allows users to view both types of information simultaneously without switching between separate tools or views, thereby reducing information loss and improving ease of operation through a unified comprehensive overview.
Solution Approach 2:
The display interface is designed to serve multiple functions simultaneously: it displays hierarchical work item structures, shows scheduling timelines, and enables filtering and searching across both types of information. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for multiple separate tools, enhancing user experience while maintaining comprehensive information visibility.
2Ease of operation
If a unified display interface showing both work item association information and scheduling information is implemented, then user experience improves through comprehensive overview, but the device complexity increases due to the need to integrate multiple display components and coordination mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The integrated display interface is segmented into distinct functional regions: one region displays the tree view with work item association information, while another region displays the Gantt chart with scheduling information. This segmentation allows each component to maintain its specific functionality while being part of a unified interface, reducing the perceived complexity for users while preserving comprehensive information display capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a nested structure where the tree view and Gantt chart are organized in a hierarchical relationship within the unified interface. The tree view provides the structural framework of work items, while the Gantt chart nests scheduling information within this framework. This nesting approach allows complex information to be organized in a manageable hierarchy, reducing device complexity while maintaining comprehensive display functionality.
3Loss of information
If detailed work item association information is displayed in the tree view, then information completeness improves, but the display area for scheduling information in the Gantt chart reduces
Solution Approach 1:
The display interface implements dynamic adjustability where users can resize and reposition the tree view and Gantt chart regions according to their specific needs. This dynamic capability allows the display area allocation to change based on the user's current task requirements, ensuring that both work item association information and scheduling information can be displayed with appropriate detail levels without fixed area constraints.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent allows users to change display parameters such as the level of detail shown in the tree view, the time scale of the Gantt chart, and the relative sizing of different display regions. These parameter changes enable flexible optimization of the display for different scenarios, maintaining information completeness while adapting the Gantt chart display area to match the user's current priorities and available screen space.
