Document Processing Apparatus Purpose-Driven Pattern Extraction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing document processing technologies fail to effectively set a pattern for document components that aligns with the intended purpose of the document, leading to suboptimal creation and presentation.
Innovation Solution
A document processing apparatus that extracts pattern information from a memory based on the specified creation purpose, using a processor to set appropriate patterns for document components, including layout, style, and emphasis, by referencing stored item definition, layout, and real-style information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If pattern information is set without consideration of document creation purpose, then document creation process is simplified, but document effectiveness and suitability for intended audience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Pattern information including item values defining document patterns is pre-stored in the memory associated with different document creation purposes. The processor automatically retrieves and applies the appropriate pre-stored pattern information based on the specified creation purpose, eliminating the need for manual pattern selection while ensuring purpose-appropriate document composition.
2Reliability
If pattern information is manually set for each document, then document effectiveness is improved, but time consumption and operational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The processor automatically retrieves pattern information from memory based on the document creation purpose and applies it to the document components without requiring manual intervention. The system serves itself by automatically matching the creation purpose with the appropriate pre-stored pattern information, eliminating time-consuming manual pattern selection while maintaining document effectiveness.
3Adaptability or versatility
If pattern information is stored in association with document creation purpose, then document suitability for purpose is improved, but memory storage requirements and system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The memory stores pattern information that can be universally applied across multiple document creation purposes. Each stored pattern information entry contains item values that define document patterns suitable for specific purposes, allowing the same memory structure to serve various document types (sales promotions, direct mail, handouts, etc.) by simply retrieving the appropriate pre-stored pattern based on the creation purpose.

AI summary
A document processing apparatus includes a processor. The processor receives a document in which components suitable for a creation purpose are disposed. The processor extracts a piece of pattern information from pattern information stored in a memory. The extracted pattern information corresponds to the creation purpose of the received document. The memory stores the pattern information in which item values of items are set in association with a document creation purpose. The item values of the items define a document pattern. The processor refers to the extracted pattern information and sets a pattern for the components disposed in the received document.
