Account Authority Management for Component Mounter Applications
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Administrators face difficulties in efficiently managing authority settings for component mounting related applications across multiple accounts and groups, leading to cumbersome and error-prone processes as the number of accounts increases.
Innovation Solution
An account authority management device and method that displays registered group names in a table, allowing administrators to compare and edit authority settings for each function across selected groups, simplifying the process by enabling a mode to highlight only differing settings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If administrators manage authority settings for each function of component mounting related applications individually for each account, then authority management coverage is complete, but the work becomes extremely troublesome and time-consuming as accounts increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges authority settings across multiple accounts by displaying them in a tabular format where administrators can view and edit settings for multiple accounts simultaneously. The system combines individual account settings into a unified display structure, allowing batch operations and comparison across accounts, thereby reducing the time required for authority management while maintaining completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a new dimensional approach by organizing authority settings in a multi-dimensional table structure that displays accounts, functions, and authority levels simultaneously. This dimensional reorganization allows administrators to manage authority settings across multiple accounts in parallel rather than sequentially, significantly reducing management time while ensuring complete coverage.
2Manufacturing precision
If administrators manage authority settings for multiple accounts individually, then each account's authority is precisely controlled, but setting mistakes increase due to the need to memorize settings for other accounts
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms by displaying authority settings for multiple accounts in a comparative tabular format. Administrators can immediately see the settings for different accounts side-by-side, providing visual feedback that helps identify inconsistencies or mistakes. The system also provides feedback when settings are modified, allowing administrators to verify changes before they are applied, thereby reducing mistake rates while maintaining precise control.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary action by displaying and comparing authority settings for multiple accounts before finalizing any changes. The system allows administrators to preview the impact of setting changes across different accounts before applying them, enabling correction of potential mistakes before they occur. This preliminary review process maintains setting accuracy while reducing the likelihood of errors.
3Loss of information
If administrators view all authority settings for all functions of all accounts, then complete information is available, but the interface becomes complex and difficult to navigate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the authority settings interface into organized sections within a tabular structure, dividing accounts, functions, and settings into distinct rows and columns. This segmentation allows complete information to be displayed in a structured, easy-to-navigate format rather than a monolithic view, reducing interface complexity while maintaining information completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic interface elements that allow administrators to expand, collapse, or filter table sections based on their needs. The interface can dynamically adjust its display to show only relevant information or provide detailed views when needed, maintaining simplicity while ensuring complete information is accessible when required.

AI summary
Names of registered groups are displayed in a group name list section, and setting contents of authority for each function of a component mounting related application that is performable for a group selected from groups displayed in the table in the group name list section are displayed such that comparison between groups is possible. An administrator edits content for authority settings for each function while comparing between groups setting contents of authority for each function displayed in an account authority comparison display section. The administrator switches a display to and from a display all functions mode that displays content for authority settings by each function for all functions of the component related application such that comparison between groups is possible, and a display difference mode that displays setting contents only for functions for which the content for authority settings differ between groups such that comparison between groups is possible.
