Image Processing Apparatus Accessibility Signage Interference
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Image processing apparatuses with accessibility functions, such as speech mode and screen magnification, face operability issues when signage functions are activated, as these can confuse or distract users who are completely blind or partially sighted, potentially decreasing the usability of accessibility features.
Innovation Solution
The image processing apparatus includes a determination unit that prevents the display of signage content when the speech mode or screen magnification function is activated, ensuring that accessibility features remain operable without interference from signage functions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the signage function is activated to display content on the operation unit, then information display capability is improved, but operability of accessibility functions deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the display state parameter based on the accessibility function activation state. When speech mode or screen magnification is activated, the signage display parameter is changed to non-display state, preventing interference with accessibility functions while maintaining normal display functionality when these functions are not active
Solution Approach 2:
The determination unit continuously monitors the activation state of accessibility functions and provides feedback to the display control unit. This feedback mechanism enables dynamic adjustment of signage display behavior based on real-time detection of speech mode or screen magnification activation, ensuring accessibility functions remain operational without interference

AI summary
An image processing apparatus includes a registration unit configured to register content to be displayed, a reception unit configured to receive an event, a display control unit configured to, according to a specific event being received by the reception unit, display the content registered by the registration unit on an operation unit, and a determination unit configured to determine whether a function concerning accessibility is being activated, wherein, if it is determined that the function concerning accessibility is being activated, even when the specific event is received by the reception unit, the display control unit performs control not to display the content on the operation unit.
