Information Processing Apparatus Notification Timing Based on Device State
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for determining notification timings for users do not account for the state of communication apparatuses, leading to inappropriate notification delivery.
Innovation Solution
A method involving acquiring information about a communication apparatus, determining if it satisfies an output condition based on notification information, and outputting a notification only when the condition is met, ensuring timely delivery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If notification timing is determined based on user action history alone, then notification delivery can be automated, but notification timing becomes inappropriate when communication apparatus state changes
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors the state of the communication apparatus (connected/disconnected) and uses this feedback to dynamically adjust notification timing. When the apparatus is connected, notifications are delivered immediately; when disconnected, notifications are delayed until reconnection, ensuring timing accuracy adapts to real-time conditions
Solution Approach 2:
The notification delivery system transitions from a static timing approach (based solely on historical user actions) to a dynamic approach that adapts to real-time communication apparatus state, allowing the system to respond flexibly to changing connection conditions
2Speed
If notifications are delivered immediately based on user history, then response time is fast, but notifications may be delivered at inappropriate times when the communication apparatus is disconnected
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs a preliminary check of the communication apparatus state before delivering notifications. This preliminary action prevents delivery of irrelevant notifications when the apparatus is disconnected, while still enabling fast delivery when connected by having the readiness check pre-configured

AI summary
A method for an information processing apparatus, the method including firstly acquiring information regarding a communication apparatus configured to communicate with the information processing apparatus, secondly acquiring notification information created by a management server configured to communicate with the information processing apparatus, executing a first determination process for determining whether the acquired information regarding the communication apparatus satisfies an output condition corresponding to information included in the acquired notification information, and in response to determining in the first determination process that the information regarding the communication apparatus satisfies the output condition, outputting a notification based on the notification information.
