Operation Panel Display Control for Selective History Recording
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing apparatuses fail to effectively analyze user operations by considering factors preceding icon interactions and dynamic screen layout changes, leading to reduced operability and increased data processing burdens, including power consumption and network pressure.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that manages information about operations preceding function usage, changes in screen layout, and preset settings, by recording events between the start and end of function usage, and dynamically arranging operation objects on the screen, while associating these with operation histories and setting information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If all types of operation histories are recorded and transmitted to server, then analysis completeness is improved, but power consumption increases and network pressure increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and transmits only specific, relevant operation history items to the server rather than all operation histories. The control unit selectively determines which operation histories should be transmitted based on their relevance to improving operability, thereby reducing the data volume and associated power consumption and network pressure while maintaining analysis completeness.
2Loss of information
If all types of operation histories are recorded and transmitted to server, then analysis completeness is improved, but network communication pressure increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and transmits only specific, relevant operation history items to the server rather than all operation histories. The control unit selectively determines which operation histories should be transmitted based on their relevance to improving operability, thereby reducing the data volume and associated power consumption and network pressure while maintaining analysis completeness.
3Ease of operation
If dynamic screen layout change is implemented, then operability is improved, but operation mistakes increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent records information about dynamic screen layout changes as operation histories and transmits them to the server for analysis. By analyzing these layout change histories, the system can identify patterns that lead to operation mistakes and optimize future layout changes to improve operability while reducing errors through data-driven insights.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus that is capable of managing information about operations preceding start of usage of a function while associating with information about operations performed between the start and end of usage of the function. The information processing apparatus includes an operation panel, a display control unit, and a recording unit. The operation panel has a display function and accepts an operation from a user. The display control unit controls the operation panel so as to display an operation object that causes to execute a predetermined function on a screen of the operation panel. The recording unit records information about events concerning operations performed between start and end of the predetermined function and information about an event preceding the start of the predetermined function into a storage unit while associating them to each other.
