One-Touch Icon Generation via Attribute Inheritance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current information processing apparatuses lack an efficient method to generate customized one-touch application icons that inherit attribute information from basic icons, limiting user customization and function access control.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that includes a display for selecting basic operators and a generation unit to create new related operators by inheriting attribute information from selected basic operators, allowing for the generation of one-touch application icons with customizable attributes and access control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If basic icons are used for function selection, then the interface is simple and standardized, but user customization capability is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates one-touch application icons by copying the visual appearance and attributes from selected basic icons. The generation unit reproduces the icon's display image, color, shape, and other visual characteristics to create a customized icon that maintains the simplicity of basic icons while enabling user-specific customization.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining attribute information templates associated with each basic icon. When a user selects a basic icon, the corresponding attribute template is automatically applied, allowing rapid customization without requiring users to manually configure each attribute, thus balancing customization capability with interface simplicity.
2Ease of operation
If multiple customized icons are generated, then user-specific function access is improved, but the number of icons to manage increases
Solution Approach 1:
Each one-touch application icon inherits attribute information from basic icons, making the customized icons universally compatible with the existing icon management system. The icons can be registered, displayed, and managed using the same mechanisms as basic icons, allowing the system to handle multiple customized icons without increasing management complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically manages the lifecycle of customized icons through the generation unit, which handles icon creation, attribute inheritance, and registration without requiring manual intervention. This self-service mechanism reduces the burden of managing multiple icons by automating the customization process.
3Productivity
If attribute information is inherited from basic icons, then customization efficiency is improved, but flexibility in modifying attributes is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides dynamic attribute modification capabilities where users can change the attributes of one-touch application icons after generation. The attribute information can be modified to adjust icon display characteristics, associated functions, and other parameters, allowing flexibility while maintaining the efficiency benefits of inheritance.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables parameter changes by allowing users to modify various attributes of customized icons, such as display images, colors, shapes, and associated function information. This parameter flexibility ensures that while inheritance provides efficiency, users can still adapt attributes to meet specific needs.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a display that displays a screen including a basic operator for selecting execution of a certain function and a related operator related to the basic operator, and a generation unit that in a case of selecting a basic operator to generate a new related operator, inherits attribute information on the selected basic operator and generates the related operator.
