Solution Overview

Problem

In business environments, such as hospitals and construction sites, nurses and professionals face difficulties in efficiently retrieving and outputting specific documents due to complex retrieval processes and challenges in identifying the nearest printer while moving frequently.

Innovation Solution

A system comprising an electronic device, server, and output device that performs user authentication, recommends content based on user and printer information, and outputs documents through visually representing metadata, allowing users to select and transmit identification information for dynamic and static content recommendations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If nurses manually retrieve documents from electronic devices or server DBs, then document retrieval can be performed, but the process becomes complicated and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedocument retrieval processVSAvoidtime required for document retrieval
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-identifying the nearest printer and pre-recommending frequently accessed documents before the user needs them. The server proactively determines printer location based on user position and sends notifications with recommended documents, eliminating the need for users to manually search through complex systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides self-service by automatically identifying the nearest printer and recommending documents based on user history and usage patterns. The system serves itself by autonomously determining document priorities and printer assignments without requiring user intervention in the complex retrieval process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If nurses frequently move in the hospital, then they can serve multiple patients, but it becomes difficult to accurately specify the nearest printer

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemobility of userVSAvoidprinter location identification accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces manual mechanical location specification with automated detection using wireless communication technology. The electronic device automatically detects the nearest printer through wireless signals without requiring the user to manually identify or specify printer locations, enabling accurate identification even while moving.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The server acts as an intermediary that receives user location information and automatically determines the nearest printer. This intermediary system bridges the gap between user mobility and printer identification, translating user position data into accurate printer selection without requiring direct user input.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If the system provides detailed document recommendations, then document selection accuracy improves, but the interface complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent recommendation accuracyVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by providing personalized recommendations tailored to each user's specific needs, history, and usage patterns. Instead of a generic interface, the system adapts the recommendation content and presentation to match individual user preferences, improving accuracy without requiring complex user configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses feedback mechanisms by analyzing user selection history and document usage patterns to continuously improve recommendations. The server monitors which documents users access and adjusts future recommendations accordingly, creating a self-improving system that increases accuracy over time without adding interface complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

According to an embodiment, a system includes an electronic device, a server, and an output device. The electronic device may perform user authentication together with the server. The server may specify first content based on the user authentication and may transmit first metadata of the first content to the electronic device. The electronic device may visually output a first object representing the first content based on the first metadata, and transmit, when at least one object is selected of the output objects by the user, identification information of content represented by the selected object to the server. The server may output content corresponding to the identification information through the output device. Moreover, various embodiment found through the present disclosure are possible.
