Solution Overview

Problem

Existing information processing systems fail to manage the display order of function items in newly created setting information independently of the preset display order, leading to cumbersome and inconvenient user operations when changing setting values.

Innovation Solution

An information processing system that includes a processor configured to accept a creation instruction for setting information, generate display order data based on changed display orders, and store it in association with the setting information, allowing independent management of display orders for each setting information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If the display order of function items is always displayed in the preset display order when newly created setting information is displayed, then the system structure is simple, but the display order of function items cannot be managed for each setting information independently

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesystem structureVSAvoiddisplay order management

Core Design Contradiction:

Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the display order management into two independent parts: preset display order (default) and custom display order (stored in display order data). This allows the system to maintain a simple default structure while enabling independent customization for each setting information without increasing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces display order data as a new parameter that stores custom display orders for function items. By changing the display order parameter from a fixed preset value to a customizable stored value, the system enables independent display order management for each setting information while maintaining backward compatibility.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

2Stability of the object's composition

If the plurality of function items are to be displayed in the preset display order also in the newly created setting information, then the display order is consistent, but when the preset display order is changed, the display order in new setting information will be also changed in conjunction therewith

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedisplay order consistencyVSAvoidindependent display order management

Core Design Contradiction:

Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent separates display order into preset display order (for consistency) and custom display order (for independence). When custom display order is created, it is stored independently in display order data, allowing it to remain stable even when preset display order changes, thus resolving the conflict between consistency and independence.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a copy of the display order in display order data that can be stored independently. This copied display order can be preserved and reused across different setting information, allowing independent management while maintaining consistency where needed.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying

3Ease of operation

If a function enables creation and registration of new setting information, then repetitive operations are reduced, but the display order of function items cannot be managed independently for each setting information

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvereducing repetitive operationsVSAvoiddisplay order data structure

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent prepares display order data in advance that can store custom display orders for function items. When new setting information is created, the system can immediately apply the stored display order without requiring additional user input, thus reducing repetitive operations while managing display order independently.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables the system to automatically manage display orders using stored display order data. Once custom display orders are created, the system automatically applies them to relevant setting information without requiring manual intervention each time, reducing repetitive user operations while maintaining independent display order management.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

An information processing system includes a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to: accept a creation instruction for setting information in which a setting value for executing processing is set for each of a plurality of function items; and if a display order to display the plurality of function items in the setting information for which the creation instruction has been accepted is changed from a preset display order, generate display order data based on the changed display order, and cause the display order data to be stored in the memory in association with the setting information.
