Image Processing Correction Marks With Visible Setting Values
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image processing systems fail to inform users about the setting values used for retaining correction marks during scanning, leading to potential usability issues and unintended changes in settings, which can result in documents lacking the required correction marks.
Innovation Solution
An image processing apparatus that displays the setting value for retaining correction marks and locks other settings to prevent unintended changes, ensuring users are aware of the settings used and maintaining correction marks.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the setting value is automatically changed to retain correction marks, then the correction mark retention is improved, but the user awareness of setting values deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides feedback to the user by displaying the current setting value on the setting screen when the correction mark setting is enabled. This allows users to see what setting is being applied while maintaining the automatic correction mark retention function, thus resolving the contradiction between automated setting and user awareness.
2Reliability
If the setting value is automatically changed, then the correction mark retention is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
By displaying the setting value on the setting screen, the system maintains user control and awareness while automatically applying the appropriate setting for correction mark retention. Users can see what is being applied and understand the system's behavior, improving ease of operation.
3Reliability
If the setting screen is displayed after user operation, then the correction mark setting is enabled, but the user understanding of applied settings deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The setting value is displayed on the setting screen before the user executes the scan operation. This preliminary display allows users to understand what setting will be applied in advance, improving their understanding while ensuring the correction mark setting is properly configured.
Data Source
AI summary
An image processing apparatus includes a generation unit configured to generate document data based on a read document, a setting unit configured to enable a correction mark setting which causes a correction mark indicating a trace of a correction made to the document to be included in the document data generated by the generation unit, and a display unit configured to display a setting screen of a setting related to the correction mark setting, wherein, in a case where the setting screen of the setting related to the correction mark setting is displayed by the display unit while the correction mark setting is being enabled, the setting screen of the setting related to the correction mark setting is displayed in a state where a setting value for enabling the correction mark setting is selected.
