Dynamic Table Header Arrangement Based on User Selection History
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Large two-dimensional tables with uniformly arranged headers can be cumbersome for users, requiring scrolling to access relevant information due to the large number of attribute values, making them difficult to use effectively.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that sets the arrangement of headers in a two-dimensional table based on user cell selection history, prioritizing frequently selected rows and columns to the top for easier access, and allows users to control the display of less frequently used information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If attribute values are uniformly arranged in the two-dimensional table, then the table structure is standardized and easy to generate, but users need to scroll frequently to access relevant information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic header arrangement that adapts to user behavior. The system automatically reorders table headers based on cell selection history, transforming the static uniform arrangement into a dynamic configuration that evolves with user interaction patterns.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses user cell selection history as feedback to automatically adjust header arrangement. By monitoring which cells users select most frequently, the system learns user preferences and reorders headers to prioritize frequently accessed information, creating a closed-loop adaptive system.
2Loss of information
If the entire two-dimensional table is displayed with all attribute values, then complete information is available, but the table becomes too large to display on screen without scrolling
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and prioritizes frequently accessed information by analyzing cell selection history. Headers corresponding to frequently selected cells are extracted and positioned at the top of the table, while less frequently accessed headers are positioned lower, effectively separating critical from non-critical information.
Solution Approach 2:
The system adds a temporal dimension to the table arrangement by incorporating user interaction history. Instead of a single static arrangement, the table structure evolves over time based on accumulated selection data, creating a multi-dimensional view that combines spatial organization with temporal user behavior patterns.
3Device complexity
If uniform arrangement is used for all users, then the system is simple to implement, but each user's specific needs and access patterns are not accommodated
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides self-service adaptability by automatically adjusting header arrangements based on each user's own selection history without requiring manual configuration. The system serves itself by learning from user behavior and making autonomous adjustments to optimize each user's experience.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the arrangement parameter of table headers based on user selection frequency. By dynamically adjusting this parameter according to observed user behavior, the system adapts to individual user needs while maintaining a relatively simple underlying implementation framework.
Data Source
AI summary
An information processing system includes a processor configured to: set an arrangement of headers in a two-dimensional table, in which an attribute value of a first attribute given to a file is a header of each row and an attribute value of a second attribute given to the file is a header of each column, with reference to history information in which a user and a cell selected by the user are recorded in association with each other in a case in which the user selects the cell of the two-dimensional table; and display the two-dimensional table in which the arrangement of the headers has been set.
