Image Processor One-Touch Key for Application Association
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image processing systems require users to return to their terminals after transmitting image data from an image processor, where they must manually process the data using specific applications, lacking the ability to associate image data with applications activated on user terminals for seamless processing.
Innovation Solution
An image processing system that includes an image processor with an activated application identifying unit, a one-touch key generating unit, and a transmission unit, which generates a one-touch key for processing image data by an application on the user terminal, allowing image data to be processed directly on the user terminal without user intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If image data is transmitted to user terminal for processing, then image data can be processed by application on user terminal, but user must return to user terminal and manually process the data
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically attaching the transmitted image data to the target application (e-mail client, document editor, etc.) on the user terminal before the user arrives. The one-touch key is pre-configured with application identification and data attachment information, so when the user activates it, the data is already prepared and attached, eliminating manual processing steps.
2Productivity
If image data is transmitted with automatic processing, then processing efficiency is improved, but ability to associate image data with specific applications is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The system establishes a feedback mechanism where the image processor queries the user terminal to obtain information about which application is currently activated or should receive the image data. Based on this feedback, the system automatically generates the appropriate one-touch key that associates the image data with the correct application, enabling both automatic processing and proper application association.
3Adaptability or versatility
If manual processing steps are required, then flexibility in data processing is maintained, but operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by enabling the image processor to automatically perform tasks that would otherwise require manual user intervention. The one-touch key mechanism allows the system to autonomously attach image data to the appropriate application, configure transmission parameters, and initiate processing without requiring the user to manually navigate through multiple steps, thereby reducing operational complexity while maintaining flexibility.
Data Source
AI summary
To provide a system in which image data created in an image processor is processed in association with an application activated on a user terminal. The system includes an image processor, and a user terminal connected with the image processor over a network. The image processor includes: an activated application identifying unit for obtaining information about an application activated on the user terminal; a one-touch key generating unit for generating a one-touch key including information for processing image data by the application activated on the user terminal; and a transmission unit for transmitting the image data to the user terminal. The user terminal includes: a receiving unit for receiving the image data from the image processor; and a one-touch key processing unit for processing the image data by the application activated on the user terminal, based on the information of the one-touch key.
