Automated Image Disclosure with Prescribed Cancellation Time
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for sharing images between multiple users are cumbersome, as users must manually select disclosure or non-disclosure each time, leading to unintended picture sharing and delayed sharing processes.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that generates data, transmits it to a server, and sets a prescribed time for disclosure cancellation, automatically disclosing the data to other devices if no cancellation is made within that time, thereby reducing user operation burden and shortening the sharing process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If automatic disclosure is implemented without user selection, then sharing speed is improved, but unintended picture sharing occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically uploading images to the server and setting disclosure rights before the user completes the sharing process. The image is uploaded and made accessible to group members automatically, but the user retains the ability to cancel disclosure within a predetermined time period, thus combining speed with user control.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback to the user through a notification interface that informs them of the automatic disclosure action. The user receives feedback about the uploaded image and the automatic sharing status, allowing them to monitor and control the disclosure process, thereby preventing unintended sharing while maintaining speed.
2Reliability
If user confirmation is required for each image, then disclosure accuracy is improved, but user operation becomes cumbersome and sharing is delayed
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically handling the image upload and disclosure determination process. Instead of requiring the user to manually select each image for sharing, the system automatically uploads images to the server and sets disclosure rights based on group membership, making the process convenient while maintaining accuracy through automatic group-based filtering.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically determining which images should be shared based on group membership before the user needs to review them. The automatic upload and disclosure setting occurs in advance, eliminating the need for manual selection while ensuring only appropriate images are shared with the correct group members.
3Reliability
If manual selection of disclosure is implemented, then unintended picture sharing is prevented, but sharing time is delayed
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically uploading images and setting disclosure rights before the user completes the sharing process. The image is uploaded and made accessible to group members automatically, but the user retains the ability to cancel disclosure within a predetermined time period, thus combining speed with user control.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces dynamic control by allowing the user to change the disclosure status from automatic to cancelled within a predetermined time period. This dynamic adjustment mechanism enables the system to start with automatic fast sharing while providing user control to prevent unintended sharing, effectively resolving the time vs. accuracy contradiction.
Data Source
AI summary
An information processing apparatus generates data by a data generation operation by a user, transmits the data to an information management apparatus, and set a prescribed time capable of a disclosure cancel operation by the user upon generating the data. The information processing apparatus, when the prescribed time has elapsed without the cancel operation by the user, transmits, to the information management apparatus, a notification which allows disclosure of the data to another information processing apparatus.
