Image Processing Device Using Pre-Registered Scan Profiles
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current image processing systems require significant effort and burden on both scan clients and executors, as clients need to provide detailed scan parameters and instructions to executors who may not be familiar with digital equipment, leading to inefficient document scanning and transmission processes.
Innovation Solution
An image processing device with a reception unit for processing identifiers, an acquisition unit for acquiring scan parameters and storing locations, and a transmission unit for sending images to specified locations, allowing clients to remotely instruct and executors to perform and transmit scans with pre-set parameters.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If clients provide detailed scan parameters and instructions to executors, then scan quality and control are improved, but the effort and burden on both clients and executors increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-registers multiple scanning destinations (cloud storage, email addresses, local paths) and scan parameters in advance. When a scan request is made, the executor only needs to input a simple destination identifier rather than configuring all scan parameters manually. This preliminary setup resolves the contradiction by maintaining scan quality through pre-configured parameters while significantly reducing the operational burden during actual scanning.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service scanning where executors can independently perform scans using pre-configured parameters and destination selections. The client does not need to manually provide detailed instructions for each scan, as the system provides a user-friendly interface with pre-set options. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining scan quality through structured parameters while reducing the burden on both parties through automated workflows.
2Manufacturing precision
If executors are familiar with digital equipment and scan parameters, then scan execution quality is improved, but the requirement for specialized knowledge increases the barrier to operation
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces an intermediary layer of pre-configured scan profiles and destination templates that bridge the gap between client requirements and executor capabilities. Instead of requiring executors to understand complex scan parameters, the intermediary provides simplified selection interfaces with pre-set options. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining execution quality through structured parameter profiles while eliminating the need for specialized technical knowledge.
3Adaptability or versatility
If manual configuration of scan parameters and destinations is required, then flexibility and adaptability are improved, but the time and effort for each scan increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-configures multiple scan profiles with different parameters and destinations before actual scanning occurs. During scan execution, users simply select from these pre-prepared profiles rather than configuring everything from scratch. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining adaptability through multiple pre-configured profiles while significantly reducing the time and effort required for each individual scan.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates universal scan profiles that can serve multiple purposes and destinations. A single profile configuration can be reused across different scanning tasks, eliminating the need to reconfigure parameters repeatedly. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining versatility through multi-purpose profiles while reducing preparation time through profile reuse.

AI summary
An image processing device including a reception unit, an acquisition unit, an image reading unit, and a transmission unit. The reception unit receives a processing identifier associated with image reading processing. The acquisition unit acquires processing information associated with the processing identifier, the processing information including at least information regarding a storing location. The image reading unit reads an image on the basis of the processing information. The transmission unit transmits data of the read image to the storing location according to the processing information.
