Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing systems lack efficient methods for managing and processing electronic data across different systems, particularly in scenarios where the status of electronic data changes, leading to challenges in coordinating workflows and document management.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and system that receives electronic data from a terminal, requests processing from another apparatus via a network, and transmits requests for changes based on user input, executing processing according to responses from the other apparatus, while associating document IDs from different systems to manage data consistency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If electronic data is transmitted between different information processing systems, then data sharing and workflow coordination are enabled, but data consistency and status synchronization become difficult to maintain
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the first information processing apparatus receives status information from the second apparatus about the electronic data processing state, and uses this feedback to determine subsequent processing actions. This ensures data consistency is maintained through continuous status synchronization between systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary role of status information that mediates between the first and second information processing apparatus. The status information acts as a bridge to coordinate processing actions and maintain data consistency across system boundaries without requiring direct complex communication protocols.
2Ease of operation
If the system allows real-time status changes and processing requests from terminals, then user control and operational flexibility are improved, but system complexity and coordination overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the information processing system into distinct functional apparatuses with specific responsibilities. The first apparatus handles status reception and control logic, while the second apparatus handles electronic data processing execution. This segmentation reduces overall system complexity by distributing functions across independent modules.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic processing where the first information processing apparatus can change processing status in real-time based on terminal inputs, and the second apparatus adapts its electronic data processing according to these status changes. This dynamic approach enables flexible user control without requiring rigid pre-programmed workflows.
3Manufacturing precision
If the system implements comprehensive status tracking and processing monitoring, then data integrity and workflow accuracy are improved, but processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by having the first information processing apparatus receive and store status information about electronic data before actual processing occurs. This advance preparation of status data enables faster processing decisions and reduces computational overhead during the actual processing phase, maintaining accuracy while reducing time loss.
Data Source
AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes circuitry to receive electronic data from a terminal; request, via a network, another information processing apparatus to perform processing on the electronic data; and transmit, to the another information processing apparatus, a request of change to the requested processing based on an input received from the terminal. The circuitry executes processing related to the electronic data in accordance with a response from the another information processing apparatus to the request of change.
