File Transfer Progress Display With Dual-Direction Results
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing file transfer systems fail to intuitively display the percentage of successes and failures in overall progress, with separate displays leading to confusion and difficulty in understanding the status of individual and overall transfer results.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that integrates the display of successful and failed file transfers from fixed positions, using a processor to control the display of integrated values from opposite directions, allowing clear visualization of success and failure percentages.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If file transfer results are sequentially displayed in time series, then the display shows the progress of processed data, but the user cannot intuitively understand a percentage of success and a percentage of failure in the total
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the sequential time-series display into a dual-directional spatial display. Success counts are accumulated and displayed from the left side, while failure counts are accumulated and displayed from the right side of the progress bar. This dimensional transformation allows users to intuitively perceive percentages through spatial position and length comparison, resolving the contradiction between showing progress details and enabling intuitive percentage understanding.
2Productivity
If file transfer results are integrated and displayed for each status, then the display shows overall progress, but the display position of failure moves each time success increases, making it difficult to understand whether failure has increased
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the unified progress display into two independent accumulation displays: one for success counts starting from the left side, and another for failure counts starting from the right side. Each segment independently accumulates its respective count without being affected by the other, ensuring stable display positions. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by allowing both overall progress monitoring and stable position reference simultaneously.
3Loss of information
If separate displays are used for overall progress and individual results, then detailed information can be confirmed, but the user cannot easily understand the status of overall progress
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the overall progress display with individual success/failure result displays into a single integrated interface. The progress bar simultaneously shows total progress while incorporating success counts (from left) and failure counts (from right) within the same visual structure. This merging allows users to understand overall progress status while also accessing detailed success/failure information, resolving the contradiction between detail availability and overall status understanding.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus allowing a user to easily understand the extent to which file transfers have succeeded and failed is provided. The information processing apparatus including a display part capable of displaying an overall progress of a transfer processing of transferring transfer files received to a file server includes an integration part that obtains integrated values of successes and failures of the transfer processing, a storage part that stores the integrated values of successes and failures obtained by the integration part, and a display control part that reads out the integrated values of successes and failures, causes the display part to perform a display corresponding to the integrated value of successes in a certain direction from a start point side, and causes the display part to perform a display corresponding to the integrated value of failures in a direction opposite to the certain direction from an end point side.
