Document Comparison Interface With Switchable Review Indications
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional document review systems impose a significant operational burden and lack user convenience, particularly in document examination tasks involving comparisons between multiple documents.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system and method that compares a first document with a template document, categorizing items as similar or dissimilar, and generates display screens with differentiated indications for dissimilar items, allowing users to switch between initial and full display modes for enhanced review efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If all indications are displayed for every item in the document comparison, then complete information is provided, but the display becomes complex and difficult to review
Solution Approach 1:
The display is segmented into two distinct modes: a first display screen showing only dissimilar items with full indications, and a second display screen showing all items with simplified indications. This segmentation allows users to choose between detailed review of differences only or comprehensive review with simplified visual cues, resolving the contradiction between information completeness and display complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements dynamic switching between two display modes based on user needs. The first display screen provides detailed indications for dissimilar items, while the second display screen provides simplified indications for all items. Users can switch between these dynamic display states to balance information completeness against visual complexity during the review process.
2Reliability
If detailed indications are shown for all items, then complete review information is available, but the review process becomes time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The review process is segmented into two display options: a first screen showing only dissimilar items with detailed indications for accurate review of changes, and a second screen showing all items with simplified indications for quicker overall review. This segmentation allows reviewers to allocate time efficiently by focusing detailed attention only where needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies partial action by showing detailed indications only for dissimilar items in the first display screen, rather than applying full detailed indication to all items. This partial detailed review reduces time consumption while maintaining review accuracy for the critical differing portions of the document.
3Productivity
If the system displays only dissimilar items, then review efficiency is improved, but information about similar items is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically switches between two display states: the first display screen shows only dissimilar items with detailed indications to maximize review efficiency, while the second display screen shows all items with simplified indications to preserve information completeness. This dynamic capability allows users to toggle between efficiency-oriented and completeness-oriented views as needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The second display screen creates a simplified copy of the full document comparison with reduced visual indications. This copy maintains the structural information about all items including similar ones, while using simplified visual cues that preserve essential information without the complexity of full detailed indications.

AI summary
An information processing method according to an embodiment may compare a first document including a plurality of items to be reviewed with a second document including a plurality of items and in which indications are set to the plurality of items, determine whether the plurality of items of the first document are similar items or dissimilar items, generate a first display screen including the display in which the indication set in the second document is associated with the dissimilar item with respect to the dissimilar item and the display in which the indication simpler than the indication displayed when the item is the dissimilar item is associated with the similar item, and generate the second display screen in which the set indications are displayed with respect to the dissimilar item and the similar item, in which the first display screen and the second display screen can be switched and displayed.
