Face Authentication Display Mode Adaptation for Print Job Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing processing systems for printing devices do not adequately differentiate between situations where a user logs in with one or multiple print jobs, leading to inappropriate execution of print jobs and potential ink wastage, as they do not consider the job status during the login process.
Innovation Solution
A processing system that acquires authentication result information through face authentication and adjusts the display mode on the printing device based on the print job situation, allowing for different screen displays depending on the number of print jobs, enabling users to manage their jobs more effectively and preventing unnecessary printing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the processing system executes print jobs uniformly after face authentication login, then the login process is simple and fast, but unnecessary printing occurs and ink is wasted when jobs were transmitted by mistake
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically changes the login process behavior based on the print job situation. When multiple jobs are detected, the system switches to a mode that requires user selection, whereas when only one job exists, it executes automatically. This dynamic adaptation resolves the contradiction by maintaining efficiency for single-job scenarios while preventing wastage in multi-job scenarios.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the execution parameter (automatic vs. manual selection) based on the number of print jobs. This parameter change allows the system to optimize between speed and resource consumption depending on the job situation, resolving the contradiction between login efficiency and ink wastage prevention.
2Ease of operation
If the processing system displays a uniform screen after login, then the device operation is simple, but users cannot effectively manage multiple print jobs or identify jobs transmitted by mistake
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen dynamically adapts its content and structure based on the number of print jobs. For single-job scenarios, a simple execution screen is shown. For multi-job scenarios, a detailed management screen with job lists and selection options is displayed. This dynamic display strategy maintains operational simplicity when needed while providing comprehensive job information when necessary.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes display parameters (screen content, level of detail, available options) based on the print job count. This parameter change enables the system to balance between operational simplicity and information completeness, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and loss of job status information.
3Speed
If the processing system automatically executes all print jobs after login, then processing speed is high, but users lose control over job execution and cannot prevent accidental printing
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the level of automation in job execution based on the number of jobs. For single-job scenarios, automatic execution is enabled for high speed. For multi-job scenarios, manual selection is required to maintain user control. This dynamic approach resolves the contradiction between processing speed and user control.
Solution Approach 2:
The execution mode parameter changes from automatic to manual based on the job count. This parameter change allows the system to optimize for speed when appropriate while preserving user control when needed, resolving the contradiction between processing speed and user control over printing.

AI summary
A processing system includes an acquisition portion that acquires authentication result information for face authentication based on a captured image of a user, and a processor that performs a process for a print job. When it is determined that the user successfully logs in by the face authentication based on the authentication result information, the processor performs a process of displaying, on a display of a printing device, a screen having a different display mode according to a situation of the print job corresponding to the user.
