HCL Technologies has been granted a patent for a method and system for component level data management in web applications. The method involves identifying components within a web application, saving their initial state in a Redux store, tracking updates made by users in real-time, and generating warnings if the current state of a component is not updated in the Redux store. The system also allows for closing and reopening components, and restoring unsaved data in case of premature closure.

Component level data management in web applications

A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11762940B2) describes a method for component level data management in web applications. The method involves identifying and tracking components within a web application, saving their initial state in a state managing store, and updating their current state in real-time as users make changes.
The method includes capturing snapshots of the current and initial states of each component, receiving predefined actions from the components or the web application, and determining if the current state of each component has been updated in the state managing store. If the current state has not been updated, a warning is rendered to the user. The user can then choose to close the warning, resulting in the closure of the component. However, if the user requests to reopen a closed component, the method restores any unsaved data (referred to as "dirty data") to its original state, unaffected by any external or internal operations.
The patent also mentions rendering a message to the user to inform them of the successful updating of the current state of the component in the state managing store. The predefined actions that can trigger the method include navigating between pages, leaving data fields blank, applying inappropriate formats, closing tabs or browsers, activating browser reload buttons, or using browser back and forth buttons.
The patent further describes a non-transitory computer-readable medium and a system for implementing the method. The system includes a processor and memory that stores processor-executable instructions to perform the steps of the method.
In summary, this patent presents a method for managing component-level data in web applications, allowing for real-time updates, capturing snapshots, and providing warnings to users when the current state of a component is not updated. The method also enables the restoration of unsaved data in closed components. The patent covers both the method itself and the system for implementing it.
