Electronic Apparatus Sorting Rules by Attribute Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices lack an efficient method for sorting and displaying images based on multiple attribute information types, limiting user functionality and usability.
Innovation Solution
An electronic apparatus is designed with a first and second processor unit, where the first processor acquires and stores attribute information, and the second processor displays and sorts images using both first and second attribute information, allowing users to select sorting rules and display options based on various criteria.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple attribute information types are stored for sorting images, then sorting functionality and user experience are improved, but device complexity and storage requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments attribute information into multiple distinct types (first attribute information and second attribute information), each stored in separate storage areas. This segmentation allows the system to implement complex sorting functionality by combining multiple simple attribute types, rather than implementing a single complex attribute structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal sorting framework where multiple different attribute information types can be used for sorting images. The sorting rule display unit and sorting unit are designed to work with any combination of attribute types, making the system multi-functional and adaptable to various sorting needs without requiring separate systems for each attribute type.
2Ease of operation
If sorting rules are displayed based on available attribute information, then user convenience and usability are improved, but processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The sorting rule display unit automatically determines which sorting rules to display based on the attribute information that is currently stored in the storage areas. The system self-adjusts its interface to show only relevant sorting options, eliminating the need for manual configuration and reducing user cognitive load while maintaining simple processing logic.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-storing multiple types of attribute information (first attribute information in first storage area, second attribute information in second storage area) before the sorting operation is needed. This preliminary preparation allows the sorting rule display unit to quickly determine available sorting options without complex real-time processing, improving both usability and processing efficiency.

AI summary
An electronic apparatus is disclosed. In one embodiment, a first functional unit is configured to execute a predetermined function and to acquire, during execution of the predetermined function, first attribute information for use in performing sorting according to a first sorting rule. A second functional unit is configured to display, on a display, display target information including first display target information, to perform a first sort display in which the first sorting rule is displayed when the first display target information related to the first attribute information is stored in a second storage area and the first sorting rule is not displayed when the first display target information related to first attribute information is not stored in the second storage, and to sort the first display target information according to the first sorting rule selected by using the input unit and display the sorted information on the display.
