Solution Overview

Problem

Existing image diagnosis systems fail to effectively notify users of critical results due to fixed display positions, burying important findings and making it difficult to prioritize notifications.

Innovation Solution

An information processing system that rearranges diagnosis results in a predetermined order, such as by evaluation or selection, and adjusts display size and color based on this order to highlight critical issues.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If diagnosis results are displayed at fixed positions, then the display layout is simple and stable, but important diagnosis results may be buried and difficult to notify users effectively

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenotification effectivenessVSAvoiddisplay arrangement complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic display arrangement where diagnosis results are automatically reordered based on their evaluation scores. The system calculates priority levels for different diagnosis items and dynamically adjusts their display positions, allowing critical issues to be prominently displayed while maintaining system stability through automated rules-based reordering.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the display parameters (position, size, color) of diagnosis results based on their evaluation scores and priority levels. By varying these visual parameters dynamically, the system effectively highlights important diagnosis results without requiring complex manual intervention, thus improving notification effectiveness while keeping the implementation manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Loss of information

If all diagnosis results are displayed with equal prominence, then the display is uniform and simple, but users cannot quickly identify critical issues

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation prioritizationVSAvoiduser attention efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by giving different visual characteristics to different diagnosis results based on their importance. Critical diagnosis results with poor evaluations are displayed with larger sizes, brighter colors, or more prominent positions, while less important results use smaller, more subdued displays. This allows users to quickly identify critical issues without overwhelming visual complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system utilizes color changes to indicate the severity and priority of different diagnosis results. By assigning different colors or color intensities based on evaluation scores, the system enables users to rapidly assess the criticality of various diagnosis items, improving information prioritization and user attention efficiency simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If the display format is fixed, then the system is stable and easy to implement, but it cannot adapt to different diagnosis scenarios and user needs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay adaptabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic adaptability where the display format automatically adjusts based on the diagnosis results' characteristics and user interactions. The system can reorder results by different criteria (evaluation score, priority level, category), change display prominence dynamically, and adapt to user preferences over time, providing versatility without requiring complex manual configuration for each scenario.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

An information processing system includes a processor configured to acquire a diagnosis result for each of plural diagnostic items, the diagnosis result being a result of diagnosing an image formed on a recording medium, rearrange the acquired plural diagnosis results such that the plural diagnosis results are arranged in a predetermined order, and generate a screen in which the plural diagnosis results are arranged in the predetermined order.
