Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image processing apparatuses, such as multi-functional peripherals (MFPs), face challenges in improving user-friendliness of operation screens, as existing technologies primarily focus on simplifying login operations using biological information without effectively collecting information for screen enhancements.
Innovation Solution
An image processing apparatus equipped with a display unit, an acquisition unit to gather biological information reflecting user states, and a registration control unit to associate this information with screen identification and operation data, allowing for the collection and storage of operation screen history, enabling identification of improvement needs based on user conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If biological information detection is added to collect user state data, then information for improving operation screens can be collected, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The biological information detection device is integrated into the image processing apparatus, allowing it to serve multiple functions: detecting user biological information (pulse wave, etc.), identifying user identity, and providing input signals for operation screen control. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate devices and minimizes overall system complexity while enabling comprehensive user state monitoring.
2Measurement precision
If multiple biological information items are collected at multiple time points, then more comprehensive user state data is obtained, but information processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit stores operation screen history information and biological information in advance, organizing them in association with each other before analysis is needed. By pre-collecting and structuring the data during user interaction with the operation screens, the system reduces the computational burden during later analysis phases, making it easier to identify patterns and improvement opportunities without overwhelming processing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses the collected biological information and operation screen history to provide feedback for improving operation screens. By analyzing the correlation between user biological states and screen interaction patterns, the system generates actionable insights that feed back into screen design and optimization, creating a continuous improvement cycle without requiring complex real-time processing.
