Contact Screen Address Prioritization for Multi-Type Contacts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems fail to effectively display and verify addresses of an intended type due to limitations in display area, preventing verification of desired contact information.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and system that allows for the registration of multiple address types per contact, enabling the selection and prioritization of a specific address type for display, and adjusting the display order to ensure the intended type is prominently shown.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple address types are registered for one contact, then the versatility of contact information storage is improved, but the display area limitation prevents the intended address type from being verified
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by detecting which address type is intended before the display is finalized. The processor identifies the intended address type based on the icon selected by the user, and prepares the display configuration in advance to ensure the intended address type is prominently shown, preventing information loss due to display area limitations.
Solution Approach 2:
The contact icon is designed with different regions having different functions. When an address type is selected, the corresponding region of the contact icon is highlighted or modified to indicate the intended address type. This local differentiation allows the system to convey which address type is intended without requiring additional display space, resolving the contradiction between storing multiple address types and verifying the intended one within limited display area.
2Quantity of substance
If multiple address types are displayed for a contact, then the completeness of contact information is improved, but the display area limitation prevents all addresses from being shown
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and highlights only the intended address type from the multiple registered address types. Instead of displaying all addresses simultaneously (which would exceed display area limits), the system takes out the specific address type that the user intends to use and presents it prominently, while other address types remain accessible but not prominently displayed. This resolves the contradiction between showing complete contact information and maintaining display area constraints.
3Ease of operation
If the display order of addresses is adjusted to show the intended type, then the ease of verification is improved, but additional display adjustments are required
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically detecting the intended address type based on the user's icon selection and automatically adjusting the display to prioritize that address type. The processor monitors which icon the user selects and autonomously reconfigures the display order without requiring manual intervention or complex display adjustment operations from the user. This resolves the contradiction between ease of verification and device complexity by making the system adaptive and self-adjusting.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: display a contact screen displaying an address displayable in a display area, the address being included in an address of a type registered in advance on a per-contact basis; receive a type of an address to be displayed among addresses of multiple types registrable on the per-contact basis; and in response to the address of the received type not being displayed in the display area, execute a process for displaying the contact screen after changing the contact screen to display the address of the received type.
