Network Data Acquisition and Workflow Automation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing systems lack convenience when performing data processes on data stored in network storage, as they require manual input of data and lack efficient methods for selecting and executing workflows.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that includes a first acquisition part to retrieve data from a network storage, a second acquisition part to acquire parameter information, a selector to choose a data process, and a process information generator to create execution information based on the data, parameter information, and selected process, enabling seamless workflow execution.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If data from network storage is manually input into the system, then data processing can be performed, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to complex manual input procedures
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically acquires data from network storage (e.g., cloud storage) without requiring manual input from users. The data acquisition part retrieves data automatically based on storage service information, and the workflow execution part processes the data autonomously, eliminating manual intervention and improving ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary mechanism (the data acquisition part and workflow execution part) that mediates between the user's storage services and the processing system. This intermediary automatically handles data retrieval and processing coordination, eliminating the need for users to manually input data while maintaining seamless operation.
2Ease of operation
If the system requires manual selection and execution of workflows, then processing control is maintained, but the ease of operation worsens due to complex workflow selection procedures
Solution Approach 1:
The workflow execution part automatically selects and executes appropriate workflows based on the acquired data and pre-configured settings. Users simply upload data to network storage, and the system autonomously determines which workflow to execute, eliminating complex manual workflow selection while maintaining processing control.
Solution Approach 2:
Workflows are pre-configured and registered in advance with the system. When data is uploaded to network storage, the system automatically matches the data with pre-defined workflows and executes them without requiring users to perform complex selection procedures. The preliminary configuration of workflows eliminates operational complexity at execution time.

AI summary
Disclosed is an information processing system including one or more computers. The information processing system includes a first acquisition part configured to acquire data that are stored from a terminal apparatus into a predetermined storage via a network from the predetermined storage via the network, a second acquisition part configured to acquire parameter information based on the acquired data, a selector configured to select a data process to be executed, and a process information generator configured to generate process information serving as information for executing the data process based on the acquired data, the acquired parameter information, and the selected data process.
