Document Viewing Device Auto-Tracking Checked Pages
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing document viewing software requires users to manually set bookmarks and determine checked or unchecked pages, making it inefficient to view an entire document.
Innovation Solution
A document viewing device and method that generates a viewing history based on user interactions, evaluates relevance, and displays shortcuts to unchecked pages, allowing users to efficiently navigate and mark pages without manual intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If users manually set bookmarks and determine checked pages, then document viewing can be performed, but the process is time-consuming and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically generates viewing history and determines checked/unchecked pages without user intervention. The processing device autonomously records user operations, evaluates relevance, and generates shortcuts, allowing the system to serve itself rather than requiring manual user configuration of bookmarks and reading status
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically recording viewing history and pre-evaluating page relevance before the user needs to navigate. The processing device continuously monitors user operations and prepares shortcut information in advance, so when users need to jump to unchecked pages, the information is already ready
2Measurement precision
If users determine checked or unchecked pages by viewing them, then accuracy is achieved, but the process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring user operations and using this information to automatically update the viewing history and determination of checked/unchecked pages. The processing device receives user operations as feedback, processes this information, and automatically adjusts the shortcut generation accordingly, eliminating the need for manual determination while maintaining high accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical manual process of viewing and determining page status with an automated information processing system. The processing device uses algorithms to evaluate relevance and determine checked status based on recorded user operations, substituting manual visual inspection and decision-making with automated computational processes

AI summary
A MFP is a document viewing device for displaying document data divided for each page. The document viewing device includes a processing device which performs a process of generating a viewing history of a document by a user based on a user operation performed for the document currently displayed on a display device; a process evaluating relevance to an object displayed on the display device to extract the page relevant to the object displayed on the display device from the document data; a process of determining based on the viewing history whether the object is checked or unchecked by the user to extract, from the extracted pages, a page for which it is determined that the object is unchecked; and a process of causing the display device to display, together with the displayed object, a shortcut linked to the page for which it is determined that the object is unchecked.
