CONTEXT-AWARE UNDO-REDO SERVICE OF AN APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT PLATFORM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240378049 titled 'CONTEXT-AWARE UNDO-REDO SERVICE OF AN APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT PLATFORM
The abstract describes a computing device with a context-aware undo-redo service for an application development platform. The device can receive and execute undo operations on environment variables displayed on screens.
- The computing device includes a memory for storing executable instructions for the application development platform and the undo-redo service.
- A processor executes the instructions to handle undo operations on environment variables.
- The device responds to undo operation invocations by navigating to a configuration screen to display and modify environment variables.
- Changes to the displayed environment variables can be reversed using the undo operation while the configuration screen is visible.
Potential Applications: - Software development tools - User interface design platforms - Version control systems
Problems Solved: - Efficient management of environment variables - Improved user experience in undoing changes - Context-aware navigation in application development
Benefits: - Enhanced productivity for developers - Streamlined workflow in application design - Better control over changes in environment settings
Commercial Applications: Title: "Context-Aware Undo-Redo Service for Application Development Platforms" This technology can be utilized in software development companies, UI/UX design firms, and version control tool providers to enhance the efficiency and user experience of their products.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the context-aware feature of the undo-redo service improve user experience? - The context-aware feature ensures that the undo operation is applied in the appropriate screen, making it more intuitive for users. 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing a context-aware undo-redo service in application development platforms? - One challenge could be ensuring seamless integration with existing development tools and frameworks.
Original Abstract Submitted
a computing device is disclosed herein. the computing device includes a memory that stores processor executable instructions for an application development platform and a context-aware undo-redo service of the application development platform. the computing device includes a processor that executes the processor executable instructions to cause the computing device to receive a first invocation of an undo operation with respect to environment variables on screens. the computing device further navigates, according to an active context, to a configuration screen of the screens to make the configuration screen visible in response to the first invocation. the configuration screen shows a portion of the environment variables. the computing device also receives a second invocation of the undo operation and executes the undo operation in response to the second invocation to reverse changes to the portion of the environment variables shown by the configuration screen while the configuration screen is visible.
