Batch Object Selection via Attribute Matching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In information processing systems, users face inefficiencies when performing batch operations on multiple objects, as they need to manually select and verify each object as a target, which can lower work efficiency and increase the complexity of the process.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that automatically selects objects as transmission candidates based on their attributes and the user's attributes, generating image information for transmission and outputting it, allowing for batch operations without prior user selection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If users manually select objects from a folder or search result before batch operation, then users can ensure accurate selection of operation targets, but users need to determine whether each object is an operation target or consider search conditions which lowers work efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically selecting candidate objects based on attributes and user profiles before the batch operation is executed. This pre-selection eliminates the need for users to manually evaluate each object, maintaining selection accuracy through automated criteria while significantly improving work efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The system serves itself by automatically identifying and selecting candidate objects for batch operations using attribute-based matching and user profile analysis. This self-service mechanism handles the selection task that would otherwise require manual user intervention, resolving the contradiction between selection accuracy and work efficiency.
2Reliability
If users manually verify each object in an object list to determine operation targets, then users can ensure correct operation targets are selected, but this manual verification process lowers work efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical manual verification process with an automated information processing system. The system uses attribute comparison and user profile matching to automatically identify correct operation targets, substituting human manual verification with computational processes that maintain reliability while dramatically improving productivity.
3Productivity
If users perform batch operation on multiple objects, then users can process multiple items efficiently, but users still need to select and verify each object which increases process complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the complex selection and verification steps from the batch operation process, handling them automatically through attribute-based candidate selection. This separation removes the complexity of manual object evaluation from the user's batch processing workflow, allowing users to focus on the actual batch operation while the system manages the complex selection logic.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: select an object which is a transmission candidate using (i) attributes of objects managed in a project including plural processes and (ii) an attribute of a user who instructs an operation relating to transmission of an object, generate, for the object which is the transmission candidate, image information obtained by imaging transmission information used for the transmission of the object, and output the generated image information.
