Image Processing Apparatus Job History Destination Filtering
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image processing apparatuses face the risk of wrong job transmission due to the use of saved job setting information, which can divert jobs to incorrect destinations.
Innovation Solution
The apparatus includes a mechanism to save job history information based on character string matching, where destinations matching a predetermined character string are saved, and those not matching are excluded, with the history displayed for easy reference and correction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If job setting information is automatically saved and diverted for new jobs, then user convenience is improved by reducing repetitive setup, but the risk of wrong transmission increases due to potential destination errors
Solution Approach 1:
The system displays job history information including destination details to the user before execution, allowing visual confirmation and correction if needed. This feedback mechanism enables users to verify that saved job settings are being applied correctly, preventing wrong transmissions while maintaining the convenience of automatic job setup.
2Productivity
If all job setting information is saved automatically, then productivity is improved by eliminating manual reconfiguration, but the complexity of managing saved settings increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and displays only the essential job history information (destination, job type, status) that users need to verify, rather than managing all possible setting parameters. This selective extraction reduces the perceived complexity while maintaining productivity benefits.
3Reliability
If job history is displayed with full destination information, then transmission accuracy is improved by enabling verification, but the display area requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The job history display is segmented into essential information elements (destination, job type, status) that are presented in a compact format. This segmentation allows verification of critical transmission details without requiring excessive display space, balancing reliability with device constraints.

AI summary
An image processing apparatus includes: an execution unit configured to execute a job; a first obtainment unit configured to obtain character string information including a predetermined character string; a second obtainment unit configured to obtain setting information corresponding to the executed job; a saving unit configured to, in a case where a destination included in the setting information is a destination corresponding to the predetermined character string, save the setting information including the destination as job history information, and in a case where at least one or more destinations included in the setting information are a destination not corresponding to the predetermined character string, save the setting information not including the destination not corresponding to the predetermined character string as the job history information; and a display control unit configured to display the job history information in a predetermined display region.
