Information Processing Apparatus Keyword Search Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image forming apparatuses do not effectively display and manage search results for changed set contents, limiting user functionality and efficiency in selecting and executing processing operations.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus with a memory unit for storing changed set contents, a reception unit for receiving information, a search unit for searching corresponding contents, and a display control unit for displaying search results, allowing users to search and select routine processing icons and parameters based on keyword inputs and filter conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If standard set contents are changed and search functionality is added, then user functionality and efficiency are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The image forming apparatus integrates multiple functions including search, display, and execution of routine processing operations within a single device. The control unit performs both image forming control and search/display functions, making the device universal and multi-functional without requiring separate external systems.
2Loss of information
If search results are displayed with multiple icons and parameters, then information completeness is improved, but display complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The search results are segmented and organized by priority order on the display unit. Multiple routine processing icons and their corresponding set contents are divided into hierarchical levels based on priority, allowing complete information display while maintaining organized, manageable presentation structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The display unit presents information in multiple dimensions by showing both visual icons and their corresponding set contents simultaneously. The priority-based organization adds a temporal/dimensional layer to the display, arranging information from highest to lowest priority to manage complexity.
3Measurement precision
If keyword-based search is implemented, then search precision is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
Set contents are pre-configured and stored in the storage unit with associated keywords and priority levels before search operations. This preliminary organization of data allows the control unit to quickly retrieve and match keywords with pre-defined routine processing operations, reducing processing time while maintaining precision.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a memory unit that stores set contents that are obtained by changing standard set contents, a reception unit that receives information regarding the set contents, a search unit that searches, based on the information received by the reception unit, contents stored in the memory unit for the changed set contents that correspond to the information, and a display control unit that performs control in such a manner as to display a search result obtained by the search unit.
