Output Apparatus Page-Turning via Staple Position Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing output processing methods for images based on acquired data do not effectively allow users to intuitively control the page-turning operation according to a desired staple position, affecting the operability of output apparatuses.
Innovation Solution
An output processing method that sets a page-turning procedure based on the staple position within the image data, allowing users to change images by flicking or shaking the device, with buttons positioned accordingly, enabling intuitive page-turning similar to flipping stapled documents.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a conventional page-turning operation is used without considering staple position, then the output processing is simple, but the operability and intuitiveness of the operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of the image data to detect the staple position before the user performs any page-turning operation. This advance detection allows the system to pre-configure the page-turning direction and button positions, making the subsequent user interaction intuitive and natural without adding complexity to the user's操作流程
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically detects the staple position from the image data itself and self-configures the page-turning procedure without requiring manual user input. The output apparatus serves itself by interpreting the image content and autonomously setting up the appropriate navigation interface, thereby improving operability without increasing operational complexity
2Adaptability or versatility
If the page-turning procedure is fixed regardless of staple position, then the system is simple to implement, but the adaptability to different document formats deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The page-turning procedure transitions from a fixed, static configuration to a dynamic one that automatically adapts based on the detected staple position. The system adjusts the page-turning direction (left-to-right or right-to-left) and button positioning dynamically according to the document's binding characteristics, enabling versatility without requiring complex manual configuration
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes key parameters of the page-turning interface (direction, button position, navigation flow) based on the staple position parameter extracted from the image data. By dynamically adjusting these parameters rather than maintaining a fixed procedure, the system achieves high adaptability to different document formats while keeping the underlying mechanism relatively simple
