Address Update Detection in Transmission History
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional information processing apparatuses fail to transmit data to the desired destination when the address of the desired destination recorded in a transmission history is updated, as they do not account for changes in destination addresses over time, leading to incorrect data transmission.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus with an address storage unit, input unit, setting unit, transmission unit, history storage unit, determination unit, and control unit that allows users to select between the recorded transmission history address and the updated address when determining the destination for retransmitting data, ensuring data is sent to the correct location.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the transmission history stores the destination address as recorded at the time of execution, then the transmission history can be accurately recorded, but the stored address becomes outdated when the destination address is updated, causing data to be transmitted to the wrong destination
Solution Approach 1:
The system checks whether the destination address stored in the address book has been updated since the transmission history was recorded. When an update is detected, the system provides feedback to the user by displaying both the historical address and the updated address, allowing the user to select which address to use for retransmission. This feedback mechanism resolves the contradiction by maintaining accurate historical records while adapting to address changes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically determines which destination address to use during retransmission by comparing the historical address with the current address in the address book. The control unit dynamically selects between the historical address and the updated address based on user selection, allowing the system to adapt to address changes while maintaining the ability to use historical data.
2Reliability
If the system automatically uses the updated address from the address book, then data can be transmitted to the correct current destination, but the system cannot accurately reference the original transmission history for comparison and verification
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the destination address information into two distinct components: the historical address stored in the transmission history and the current address stored in the address book. This segmentation allows the system to maintain both the original historical context and the updated current information, preventing loss of historical data while enabling accurate transmission to the current destination.
Solution Approach 2:
The control unit acts as an intermediary that compares the historical address with the current address and mediates the selection process. It presents both addresses to the user and facilitates the selection of the appropriate address for retransmission, ensuring that historical information is preserved while the correct current address is used for transmission.
3Ease of operation
If the system requires users to manually check and select the destination address, then the user has control over the transmission destination, but the operation becomes more complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically detecting whether the destination address has been updated since the transmission history was recorded. The control unit autonomously compares the historical address with the current address in the address book and presents the relevant information to the user, reducing the manual work required while maintaining user control over the final destination selection.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus that enables a user to transmit data to a desired destination even when the address was updated. A transmission unit transmits image data inputted into an address set. A history storage unit stores a transmission history of the image data transmitted. The transmission history includes an address and an address identifier for identifying the address stored in the address storage unit. A determination unit determines whether the address identified by the address identifier was updated after the transmission date recorded, when a user directs the transmission of image data using the transmission history. A control unit enables the selection of an address to which the image data is transmitted from among the addresses recorded in the transmission history and an updated address identified by the address identifier, when the address identified by the address identifier was updated after the transmission date recorded.
