Solution Overview

Problem

Users face the challenge of determining if a file is already stored on a network without performing additional storage operations when accessing files on a terminal apparatus.

Innovation Solution

An information processing system that includes processors configured to associate files with specification information and store them in a designated storage region, allowing the system to display link objects in an identifiable manner on a web page, enabling users to determine if a file is already stored without additional storage operations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the system performs determination operations to check if identical files are present in the terminal apparatus, then file storage accuracy is improved, but user time and operational efficiency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvefile storage accuracyVSAvoiduser time

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs file determination operations in advance by automatically checking if files are already stored in the terminal apparatus before initiating storage operations. This preliminary check prevents redundant storage operations and saves user time while maintaining accurate file management.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service file management by automatically determining whether files are already present in the terminal apparatus without requiring user intervention. The system autonomously performs the determination operation and proceeds accordingly, eliminating the need for users to manually check file existence.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of operation

If the system displays all link objects uniformly on the web page, then display simplicity is improved, but file identification capability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedisplay simplicityVSAvoidfile identification capability

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies different display qualities to different link objects based on their storage status. Link objects representing files already stored in the terminal apparatus are displayed with distinctive visual characteristics (such as different colors or icons), while other link objects maintain the standard display format. This local differentiation enables easy file identification while preserving overall display simplicity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

An information processing system includes one or a plurality of processors configured to, in a case where a predetermined operation is performed on a link object associated with a file present on a network, store the file and specification information for specifying the file in a predetermined storage region in association with each other, and perform a control of displaying the link object associated with the file stored in the storage region in an identifiable aspect from other link objects in a case where a plurality of objects including the link object are displayed on a web page.
