Automated Anti-Social Check for Business Cards
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current information processing systems face challenges in reliably performing anti-social checks on business cards, as they require manual effort and are prone to overlooking due to spelling inconsistencies and time-consuming processes.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that accepts business card information, searches anti-social check databases using identifiers, and outputs relationship information between the business card and anti-social forces, incorporating multiple query strategies to handle spelling inconsistencies and update notifications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual anti-social check is performed by a person in charge based on business card information, then the check can be conducted with simple system configuration, but the process is time-consuming and prone to overlooking due to manual effort
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical checking process with an automated information processing system that uses optical character recognition (OCR) to extract text from business card images, processes the extracted information through databases, and automatically determines anti-social relationships. This substitution eliminates manual effort and time consumption while maintaining or improving check reliability.
2Reliability
If manual anti-social check is performed, then the system complexity remains low, but the check process is prone to overlooking and requires significant effort
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the anti-social check process into distinct functional modules: a business card information acquisition unit that captures and stores business card images, an optical character recognition unit that extracts text from images, a database storage unit that organizes business card information and anti-social force data, and a determination unit that queries databases and outputs results. This segmentation manages system complexity by creating modular, independently manageable components while achieving reliable automated checking.
3Productivity
If automated information processing is implemented to perform anti-social check, then the check efficiency and reliability improve, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements multi-functional components that handle multiple tasks. The information processing apparatus integrates business card image acquisition, optical character recognition, data storage, database querying, and result output determination within a single system. This universality improves productivity by consolidating multiple functions into one apparatus while managing complexity through integrated design rather than separate components.

AI summary
In order to solve a problem of conventional information processing apparatuses in that effort and time are required to check relationships between business cards and anti-social forces, and the check result is likely to be different for each person in charge, an information processing apparatus includes: a business card information accepting unit that accepts business card information regarding a business card; an anti-social information acquiring unit that searches for information regarding an anti-social force contained in an anti-social check database, using an identifier regarding the business card information accepted by the business card information accepting unit, thereby acquiring anti-social information based on a search result; and a relationship information output unit that outputs relationship information indicating a relationship between the business card and the anti-social force based on the acquired anti-social information. Accordingly, it is possible to easily and reliably check relationships between business cards and anti-social forces such that overlooking is unlikely to occur.
