Information Processing Device Application Display Mode Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current information processing devices lack an efficient method to create and manage user interfaces for applications by integrating basic processing functions, such as copying, fax sending, and scanning, while ensuring distinct display modes for settings and checking screens without overlapping with existing applications.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device is designed with a creating unit for applications using basic processing functions, a state informing unit for processing states, and a setting unit that determines and sets display modes for setting and checking screens, using a color set table to restrict and present unique color information for user interface customization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple applications with different display modes are created, then user interface differentiation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display modes are segmented into distinct types (setting screen mode and checking screen mode) with unique color schemes. Each application can be assigned specific display modes, allowing clear visual differentiation between settings and status checking operations while maintaining manageable complexity through structured segmentation.
Solution Approach 2:
Different color schemes are applied locally to different display modes within the same application interface. The setting screens use one color scheme while checking screens use another, allowing users to immediately distinguish between configuration and status viewing operations without overwhelming global complexity.
2Ease of operation
If distinct color schemes are assigned to different display modes, then user experience is improved, but information processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs color changes to differentiate between setting screens and checking screens. By assigning distinct color schemes to different display modes, users can quickly understand the current operation type through visual cues, improving ease of operation while the color information volume remains manageable through systematic assignment.

AI summary
An information processing device includes a creating unit, a state informing unit, and a setting unit. The creating unit creates an application for implementing a specific object by using at least one basic processing function. The state informing unit provides information concerning a processing state of the at least one basic processing function and a processing state of the application. The setting unit receives information for determining a display mode of a setting screen for setting settings information or a checking screen for checking the processing state of the application, and sets a determined display mode. The display mode is used for executing the application.
