Dynamic Image Output Permission Inquiry System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing techniques require re-registration of output inhibition rules when the target for image output restriction changes, leading to increased time consumption.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that acquires image data and related information, determines if the information satisfies specific conditions, and performs an inquiry with a destination to confirm output permission before proceeding with image output, reducing the need for re-registration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If output inhibition rules are registered to restrict image output, then security is improved, but time consumption increases when re-registering rules for changed targets
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically performs output permission inquiries to destinations based on image information, eliminating the need for manual re-registration of output inhibition rules. The apparatus autonomously determines whether output is permitted by communicating with relevant destinations, thus maintaining security while reducing time consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The output restriction mechanism transitions from static pre-registered rules to dynamic real-time inquiries. The system adaptively determines output permission by communicating with destinations at the time of output request, allowing the restriction criteria to automatically adjust to changed targets without manual intervention.
2Reliability
If manual re-registration of output inhibition rules is performed, then output security is maintained, but productivity decreases due to time consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The system autonomously manages output permission control by automatically sending inquiries to destinations and processing their responses. This self-service mechanism eliminates manual rule management operations, maintaining security control while significantly improving processing efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback loop where output permission is determined by receiving responses from destinations. The destination's feedback on whether output is permitted directly controls the output process, ensuring security while automating the entire permission verification workflow.
3Reliability
If output inhibition rules are used, then security against unauthorized output is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates when targets change
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically adapts to changed output targets by performing inquiries without requiring user intervention for rule re-registration. Users simply need to provide image information, and the system autonomously determines permission status, maintaining security while greatly simplifying operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The permission control system dynamically adjusts to new targets through automatic inquiries rather than relying on static pre-configured rules. This dynamic approach maintains unauthorized output prevention while eliminating the operational complexity of manual rule updates.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: acquire an image serving as a target of processing and information about the image; and if the information about the acquired image satisfies a condition, perform to a destination an inquiry as to whether the destination grants outputting of the image, and output the image if a notification that the destination has granted the outputting of the image is received from the destination.
