Job Processing Apparatus Error Record Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of job processing apparatuses cannot easily identify errors in job execution records, leading to potential job execution suspensions due to undetected errors when selecting job records for new settings.
Innovation Solution
A job processing apparatus with an execution unit, a display unit, and a detection unit that arranges history records chronologically and highlights error records, allowing users to detect and address errors before executing jobs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If job execution records are displayed on the home screen without error indication, then users can easily check job history, but users cannot detect errors and may select problematic records for new settings
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies color changes by displaying error records with distinct visual markers such as red icons or different background colors compared to normal records. This allows users to immediately identify error states without adding complex interfaces, resolving the contradiction between information completeness and ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the job record display into different visual categories: normal records and error records. By separating these visually through icons, colors, or layout differences, the system preserves ease of browsing while ensuring error information is not lost, as users can quickly distinguish problematic records.
2Measurement precision
If error records are displayed prominently alongside history records, then users can easily identify errors, but the display complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses color changes and visual markers to indicate error records, achieving precise error detection without adding complex display structures. The error state is communicated through simple visual cues like red icons or colored backgrounds, maintaining display simplicity while improving detection accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces visual markers as intermediaries between the error data and the user. These markers (icons, colors, or symbols) mediate the communication of error states without requiring complex display restructuring, thus achieving precise error detection while keeping the display structure relatively simple.
Data Source
AI summary
A user is enabled to check a history of job execution by viewing records arranged in chronological order and to easily check the specific description of an error by viewing an error record. The job processing apparatus control method includes executing a job, displaying a plurality of history records with the plurality of history records being arranged side by side in chronological order, the plurality of history records each indicating a history of a job executed in the executing, and detecting an error. In response to an error having been detected in the detecting, an error record is displayed with the error record and the plurality of history records being arranged side by side, the error record indicating the error.
