Draggable Icon Alignment for Successive Scan Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing apparatuses do not allow users to control the position of new document images during the successive scanning process, limiting flexibility in displaying and arranging scan data.
Innovation Solution
A computer-readable medium and method that enables a draggable icon to be used for determining the alignment sequence of images on a display unit, allowing new document images to be displayed at desired positions by judging the drag destination of the icon, either overlapping with or adjacent to existing images, and adjusting the sequence accordingly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the successive scanning process is carried out to collect scan data, then the images of new document are displayed in addition to previously displayed images, but the position of displaying the images of the new document cannot be controlled
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the icon draggable and its position adjustable. The icon can be dynamically repositioned by user interaction (drag and drop), allowing the insertion position of new document images to be dynamically changed during the successive scanning process. This transforms a static display arrangement into a dynamic, user-controllable system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses an icon as an intermediary element between the user and the scan data arrangement. This draggable icon serves as a mediator that translates user actions (drag and drop operations) into specific positioning commands for the new document images, enabling intuitive control over where new images are inserted in the sequence.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the successive scanning process is carried out, then scan data of new document is collected, but the alignment sequence of images cannot be adjusted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic adjustability of the alignment sequence through the draggable icon mechanism. The icon's position can be dynamically changed by user interaction, and this dynamic positioning directly controls the alignment sequence of images. This allows flexible adjustment of image order without requiring complex control interfaces or multiple操作步骤.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses a visual copy (the icon representing the new document) to control the arrangement of actual images. By positioning the icon in different locations and performing drag operations, the system creates a visual representation that copies the desired arrangement intent, which is then applied to the actual image alignment sequence.

AI summary
A medium stores computer-executable programs. The programs cause an information processing apparatus to perform: displaying images based on scan data and a first icon which is draggable, on a display unit; acquiring a drag destination of the first icon; judging whether the drag destination of the first icon is one of a position overlapping with one image included in the images displayed on the display unit and a position adjacent to the one image; in a case that the drag destination of the first icon overlaps with the one image, determining an alignment sequence so that the one image is replaced with an image based on to-be-acquired scan data; and in a case that the drag destination of the first icon is adjacent to the one image, determining the alignment sequence so that the image based on the to-be-acquired scan data is arranged adjacent to the one image.
