App Installation Rendering Mode Switching for Stability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Software installation processes face challenges in ensuring proper operation of applications due to environment defects, such as missing or improperly configured software components, leading to potential blue screen issues and user difficulties in resolving these problems.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus with a setting unit that activates applications in a hardware rendering mode if necessary software is not installed or if the OS version is not predetermined, and a control unit that installs required software and activates the application after necessary software installation, with the option to switch to software rendering mode to avoid blue screen defects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If the application is activated in hardware rendering mode to improve performance, then the application operates faster, but blue screen defects may occur due to hardware compatibility issues
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the rendering mode parameter from hardware rendering to software rendering when compatibility issues are detected. The control unit switches the activation mode based on environment check results, thereby maintaining system stability while still allowing for performance optimization when conditions permit.
2Reliability
If the installer checks environment defects before installation to prevent operation issues, then application reliability improves, but installation time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs environment checking and necessary software installation before the application is activated. The control unit checks for required software components and installs them in advance, preventing operation failures while minimizing impact on user-perceived installation time by performing checks during the installation process.
3Adaptability or versatility
If necessary software is automatically installed during application installation to ensure proper operation, then application compatibility improves, but installation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements automatic environment checking and software installation through the control unit. The system autonomously detects missing components, determines required software, and performs installation without user intervention, thereby improving compatibility while keeping the user interface simple and the perceived complexity low.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus, in which an operating system operates, includes a setting unit and a control unit. The setting unit sets, in a case that an application is installed and if an installation target application is installed by updating or if the operating system is not a predetermined version, to activate the installation target application in a hardware rendering mode. The control unit install, if software necessary for installing the installation target application is not installed, the necessary software, wherein the control unit installs the installation target application after installation of the necessary software, and wherein the installed application is activated according to a setting by the setting unit.
