Image Transmission File Naming for Visibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image transmission systems fail to maintain visibility when checking transmission content, especially during broadcasting to multiple destinations, as file names become overly long and cumbersome, making it difficult to retrieve desired transmission history.
Innovation Solution
An image transmission apparatus with a designation unit for multiple destinations, a transmission unit, a generating unit for file creation, a storing unit, and a setting unit that generates file names including specific destination information and a job identification number, ensuring clarity and ease of identification.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If multiple destinations are included in a generated file name during broadcasting, then the file name contains complete destination information, but the file name becomes too long and degrades visibility when the content of transmission is checked
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the file name structure into distinct components: a fixed prefix, a destination identifier (either single destination or broadcast indicator), and a job identification number. This segmentation allows the file name to maintain completeness of information while avoiding the problem of excessively long names by using structured, modular components rather than concatenating all destination details.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the essential identification elements (destination identifier and job ID) from the complete transmission data and uses only these extracted elements in the file name. This extraction approach ensures that the file name contains sufficient information for identification and retrieval without including all detailed destination information that would make the name excessively long.
2Loss of information
If multiple destinations are included in a generated file name, then all transmission destinations are recorded, but it becomes difficult to find a desired transmission history only with the help of information on a transmission destination
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the file naming system into a destination identifier component and a job identification number component, the patent enables users to search and filter transmission histories more effectively. The job identification number serves as a unique key that facilitates precise retrieval of specific transmission records without being confused by multiple destination entries.
Solution Approach 2:
The job identification number acts as an intermediary element that links the file name to the complete transmission history record. This intermediary allows users to efficiently locate desired transmission histories by using the job ID as a search key, bridging the gap between the simplified file name and the detailed transmission data.
Data Source
AI summary
An image transmission apparatus which is capable of, even in the case of broadcasting, ensuring visibility when the content of transmission is checked. Image data is transmitted to one or more designated destinations. A file name is generated from the image data. The generated file is stored as a history. A file name including a certain destination among the plurality of designated destination, information for a user to recognize whether a plurality of designation is designated and an identification number of a job is set as a file name of the file.
