Information Processing Apparatus Automatic Document Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current information processing systems do not allow users to reuse document information from past processing operations without explicitly storing it before execution, leading to the need for users to reinput data and settings when reusing document processing tasks.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that automatically stores document information in a designated storage region during processing and allows users to select and reuse this information for subsequent processing tasks, including displaying stored document information and executing processing based on user selections.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If document information is not stored before processing, then processing can be executed without storing operations, but users cannot reuse document information from past processing
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically stores document information in a predetermined storage region before the processing is fully executed. This preliminary storage action enables the document information to be available for future reuse without requiring explicit storage instructions during the initial processing, thus resolving the contradiction between processing efficiency and information reuse capability
2Loss of information
If users manually store document information before processing, then document information can be reused, but additional storage operations and user instructions are required
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically performs the storage of document information without requiring explicit user instructions or manual storage operations. The processing apparatus self-manages the storage of document information in the predetermined storage region, eliminating the need for users to manually store data while maintaining the capability for document information reuse
3Ease of operation
If document information is stored automatically, then users can reuse past processing content, but storage operations are added to the processing flow
Solution Approach 1:
The storage operation is merged with the existing processing flow rather than being added as a separate sequential step. The processing apparatus integrates the storage of document information into the processing execution, allowing both storage and processing to occur within the same operational framework, thus improving ease of operation without significantly increasing overall complexity

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: store document information of a document in a predetermined storage region when processing that does not include a storing process of the document is executed on the document; display the document information stored in the predetermined storage region on a display when executing processing, the document information including at least one item of the document information, and cause a user to select an item of the document information from the at least one item of the document information; and execute processing by using the selected item of the document information.
