Electronic Document Preview Enlargement via Partial Page Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing systems require users to select and open each electronic document to grasp its contents, making it cumbersome to manage and visualize multiple documents simultaneously.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that allows users to perform a simple operation to enlarge and display a predetermined page of each electronic document, enabling a larger display size than the collection image, facilitating quick content review and switching between documents.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If users select and open each electronic document to grasp its contents, then the user can view the full content of each document, but the operation becomes cumbersome and time-consuming when managing multiple documents
Solution Approach 1:
The system displays a predetermined page (such as the first page or a representative page) of each electronic document in the collection as a preview, rather than requiring users to open each document to view its contents. This partial action allows users to grasp the content of multiple documents simultaneously with a single operation, significantly improving ease of operation while maintaining content visibility.
2Loss of information
If users select and open each electronic document to view its contents, then the user can examine document details, but the time required to review multiple documents increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
By displaying a predetermined page of each document as a preview in the collection view, the system enables users to quickly scan and assess multiple documents simultaneously. This partial viewing approach provides sufficient content accessibility for initial evaluation without requiring the time-consuming action of opening each document individually, thereby reducing overall review time.
3Loss of information
If the display shows the collection image of electronic documents, then the user can see an overview of multiple documents, but the display size of individual document previews is too small to be useful
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from a two-dimensional grid view where all documents must fit in a small space to a dimensional approach where a predetermined page of each document can be displayed at a larger, more readable size. This is achieved by selecting specific pages to represent each document, allowing the preview area to expand while maintaining overview capability through strategic page selection.

AI summary
An information processing system includes a processor configured to: receive an input operation performed by a user on an image representing a collection of plural electronic documents, the image being displayed on a display; and perform control to enlarge and display, on the display, an image of a predetermined page determined in advance for each of the electronic documents, among one or more pages constituting each of the electronic documents, so that a display size thereof will be larger than the image representing the collection.
