Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

The usability of evaluation input screens for applications is compromised when they are unnecessarily displayed or not displayed, leading to user frustration and decreased satisfaction, as the need for user evaluations can vary based on the application's publication status.

Innovation Solution

An information processing method that determines whether to display a user evaluation input screen based on received information from a server, ensuring that the screen is shown only when necessary, thereby improving usability by aligning the evaluation request with the application's publication status.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the evaluation input screen is displayed for all applications, then user evaluation collection is maximized, but user experience deteriorates when evaluation is unnecessary

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveevaluation collection reliabilityVSAvoiduser experience

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the display parameter of the evaluation screen based on application publication status. When an application is newly published, the evaluation screen is displayed to collect user feedback. When the application has been published for a predetermined period, the evaluation screen is not displayed, thereby improving user experience while maintaining reliable evaluation collection for appropriate applications.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If the evaluation input screen is not displayed for any application, then user experience is maintained, but evaluation collection is lost

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser experienceVSAvoidevaluation collection reliability

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the evaluation screen display based on real-time detection of application publication status. The display behavior transitions from static (always display or never display) to dynamic (display only when necessary), allowing the system to maintain both good user experience and reliable evaluation collection by adapting to different application states.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

3Ease of manufacture

If the evaluation screen is displayed based on fixed rules, then implementation is simple, but adaptability to different application states is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveimplementation simplicityVSAvoidadaptability to publication status

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where the evaluation screen display is controlled based on detected application publication status. The server receives application information, determines publication status, and sends control instructions back to the terminal. This feedback loop enables the system to adapt to different application states while maintaining relatively simple implementation through automated decision-making.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Predetermined information for determining whether an input screen on which a user inputs an evaluation of a program is to be displayed is received from a server. If the received predetermined information indicates that the input screen is to be displayed, the input screen is displayed on a display included in an information processing apparatus.
