Document Image Classification Interface With Single-Screen Comparison
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems require users to frequently shift between selection and comparison screens for classifying and correcting document images, leading to decreased user operability.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that displays both classified and unclassified document images along with classification results on the same screen, reducing the need for multiple screen transitions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users shift between selection screen and comparison screen for classifying document images, then classification accuracy can be maintained, but user operability deteriorates due to frequent screen transitions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the selection screen and comparison screen into a single integrated display screen. The selection screen displays unclassified document images, while the comparison screen displays classified document images and predetermined document images for reference. By combining these functions into one screen, users no longer need to shift between multiple screens, thereby improving user operability and reducing time loss from screen transitions.
2Measurement precision
If the system displays only classified document images on the selection screen, then the interface is simple, but users cannot easily compare with predetermined images for accurate classification
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display screen into multiple functional regions: a selection screen region for displaying unclassified document images, a comparison screen region for displaying classified document images and predetermined document images, and a classification result display region. This segmentation allows each region to serve its specific purpose while maintaining overall interface organization. Users can access both unclassified and classified images in their respective regions without increasing perceived interface complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a spatial dimension to the interface by displaying different types of document images in different spatial regions on the same screen. The selection screen region, comparison screen region, and classification result display region are arranged spatially, allowing users to view and compare images across different dimensions simultaneously without navigating between separate interfaces.
3Reliability
If users manually check and correct classification results, then classification reliability can be improved, but the workflow becomes cumbersome with multiple screen shifts
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the classification result display region with the comparison screen region on the same display screen. Users can view classification results and compare them with predetermined document images simultaneously without shifting screens. This integration maintains the reliability of manual checking while making the workflow convenient by eliminating redundant screen transitions.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: obtain plural first document images; execute classification processing for classifying each of the plural first document images, based on reliability of each of plural second document images in relation to each of the plural first document images, each of the plural second document images being preset in accordance with a classification type; and perform display control to display a first group of the plural first document images and a second group of the plural second document images on an identical screen and also to display results of the classification processing on the identical screen.
