BATCH USER INTERFACE CALLS AND RESPONSE PROCESSING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18059801 titled 'BATCH USER INTERFACE CALLS AND RESPONSE PROCESSING

Simplified Explanation

User interface responsiveness is enhanced through batch interface calls and response processing.

  • Selection of nodes from a hierarchy is made via the user interface.
  • Separate requests are sent to a database for information corresponding to each node.
  • Responses are received and processed in parallel threads.
  • Parsed data is obtained and presented incrementally in the user interface.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various fields such as e-commerce platforms, content management systems, and data visualization tools.

Problems Solved

1. Slow user interface response times due to multiple database requests. 2. Inefficient processing of data leading to delays in presenting information to users.

Benefits

1. Improved user experience with faster response times. 2. Efficient data processing and presentation. 3. Parallel processing of responses enhances overall system performance.

Potential Commercial Applications

Enhancing user experience in online shopping platforms with real-time product information updates.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of caching mechanisms to improve user interface responsiveness by storing frequently accessed data locally.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology handle errors in database responses?

The abstract does not mention how errors in database responses are handled by the system. It would be important to understand the error handling mechanism to ensure the reliability of the user interface.

What is the impact of network latency on the performance of this technology?

The abstract does not address the potential impact of network latency on the system's performance. Understanding how the technology copes with network delays is crucial for real-world applications where network conditions can vary.


Original Abstract Submitted

User interface responsiveness is improved using batch interface calls and response processing. To do this, a selection, via a user interface, is obtained of nodes of a hierarchy corresponding to a hierarchical data structure containing information to be presented in the user interface based on the selection. A separate request is sent to a database to obtain information corresponding to each of the nodes. Responses corresponding to a particular request are received from the database. Each response is processed to obtain parsed data in separate threads such that the responses are executable in parallel. The processing of the responses outputs parsed data for the corresponding response. The parsed data is obtained and the parsed data for a particular response is incrementally presented in the user interface as it is obtained.
