Document Examination Interface for Multi-Document Content Comparison
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing document examination processes, particularly in financial institutions and administrative agencies, face inefficiencies in comparing the content of one document with multiple documents, leading to cumbersome paperwork and reduced operational efficiency.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus with a control unit that acquires and displays text data of multiple documents, outputs thumbnails for easy document identification, performs examination item comparisons, and provides examination results and questions on a single display screen, allowing for streamlined document examination.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual comparison of document content is used, then examination accuracy is maintained, but time consumption and paperwork increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical manual comparison process with an automated information processing system that uses optical character recognition (OCR) and image processing algorithms to extract and compare text content from documents, thereby substituting human manual labor with automated computational processes
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates digital copies of document images and extracts text content through OCR to generate editable text data, allowing multiple copies and versions to be manipulated and compared without handling physical documents, thus reducing paperwork while maintaining examination capabilities
2Loss of substance
If digital display of documents is implemented, then paperwork is reduced, but information presentation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the information processing system into distinct functional modules: an image processing unit for extracting text from document images, a data management unit for storing and organizing extracted text data, and a display control unit for presenting information. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, managing overall system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediate text data layer between the original document images and the final display output. The image processing unit extracts text from images, stores it as structured data, and the display unit retrieves and presents this data. This intermediary data structure simplifies the complexity by providing a standardized format for manipulation and display
