Information Processing Device Folder File Confirmation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional file management systems inadvertently process files that should not be processed when a folder is processed, leading to potential data loss or incorrect operations.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device and method that includes a job macro setting file system, where files are managed hierarchically, and a confirmation process is implemented to ensure that only intended files are processed during folder operations, allowing users to selectively delete or move files and folders while preventing unintended data loss.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If all files in a folder are processed together when the folder is processed, then processing efficiency is improved, but files that should not be processed may be inadvertently processed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the folder processing operation into two distinct phases: a preview phase that identifies all files in the folder without processing them, and a confirmation phase where the user selects which files to process. This segmentation allows efficient identification of target files while preventing unintended processing through user confirmation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by displaying a list of files in the folder and requiring user confirmation before processing. The system prepares the file list and awaits user confirmation in advance of the actual processing operation, ensuring that only intended files are processed while maintaining efficient batch processing capability

AI summary
In order to prevent processing from being performed on a file included in a folder on which the processing should not be performed when the processing is performed on the folder, an image processing device (100) includes an input unit (142) which receives designation of a folder and an execution instruction of first processing to be performed on the designated folder, based on user's operation, a display unit (141) which displays a list of files stored in the designated folder when the input unit (142) receives the designation of the folder and the execution instruction, and an execution unit (121) which executes the first processing on the folder when the input unit (142) receives the confirmation input of execution of the first processing on the designated folder, based on user's operation, after the display unit (141) displays the list of files.
