Function Execution Device Dynamic Application Invocation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional scanning devices require an RFID embedded in the original to invoke the appropriate application, making it difficult to manage changes in the status of the function execution device.
Innovation Solution
A function execution device with a communication device, displaying device, storing device, and controller that transmits identifying information and application invoke commands to an information processing device, allowing for dynamic invocation of applications based on the device's status.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If an RFID is embedded in the original to invoke a desired application, then the application can be correctly invoked, but it becomes difficult to deal with change of the status of the function execution device
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses screen ID information as a copy or representation of the actual screen status. Instead of relying on RFID embedded in the original document, the system creates a digital copy of the screen state (screen ID) that can be transmitted and processed independently. This allows the system to track and respond to status changes through the copied screen ID information rather than being constrained by physical RFID tags.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical/physical RFID embedding approach with an information-based system. Instead of physically embedding RFID tags in originals, the system uses communication devices to transmit screen ID information digitally. This substitution allows for easier status tracking and adaptation, as the information can be dynamically updated and transmitted without physical modifications to the original documents.
2Ease of operation
If one RFID is embedded in the original for one desired application, then the application can be invoked, but the configuration becomes relatively bothersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal communication device that can handle multiple functions through a single interface. The communication device in the function execution device can transmit various types of information (screen ID, status data) to different information processing devices (smartphones, tablets, PCs). This universal approach eliminates the need for different RFID tags for different applications, reducing configuration complexity while maintaining ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the invocation information (screen ID) from the physical original document and separates it as transmittable data. By taking out the essential identification information and transmitting it through the communication device, the system eliminates the need for RFID embedding in each original. This extraction approach simplifies the overall configuration while preserving the ability to invoke appropriate applications.
Data Source
AI summary
A function execution device, which is capable of executing one or more functions, which has a communication device configured to communicate with an information processing device, a displaying device configured to display a screen corresponding to one of the functions, a storing device configured to store identifying information which identifies a screen to be displayed on the displaying device for each of the functions, and a controller. The controller executes instructions to provide a transmitting unit configured to transmit the identifying information identifying the screen being displayed on the displaying device and an invoking command to invoke an application corresponding to the identifying information to the information processing device through the communication device.
