File Name Display Consistency in Print Preview Conversion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users experience a feeling of strangeness when a file name is changed internally within an apparatus, and this change is not visibly recognized, leading to confusion when displayed on a preview screen.
Innovation Solution
A computer-readable medium and information processing apparatus that stores and displays data names associated with converted data items, ensuring that the source data name is visible alongside the preview image, preventing user confusion by maintaining consistency in display format between different data formats.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the apparatus internally changes the file name for processing reasons, then the data can be properly processed and stored, but the user experiences confusion and a feeling of strangeness because the original file name is not visible on the preview screen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary element (the original file name display) that mediates between the internal processing requirements (which need converted data) and the user's recognition needs. By displaying the original file name as a label alongside the preview image, the system maintains user awareness of the source file while allowing internal conversion processes to occur with renamed files.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a visual copy of the original file name information and displays it on the preview screen. This copying approach allows the system to work with converted data internally while preserving and displaying the original file name for user reference, thus maintaining user recognition without interfering with processing reliability.
2Device complexity
If the converted data item is stored with its own generated data name, then the data management becomes simpler, but the user cannot recognize the source of the display image
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a nested information structure where the original file name is embedded or associated with the converted data item. This nesting allows the converted data to be managed independently while containing or referencing the original file name information, thus maintaining both simple data management and source information visibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses the original file_name as an intermediary label that connects the converted data item to its source. This intermediary element is displayed alongside the preview image, allowing the system to manage converted data separately while maintaining visibility of the source information through the original file name.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the display shows the converted data's generated name, then the data format consistency is maintained, but the user loses track of the original file they intended to print
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by displaying different types of information in different locations on the preview screen. The converted data's generated name may be used for technical consistency in certain areas, while the original file_name is displayed in a prominent location (such as a label or header) to maintain user identification. This spatial differentiation allows both format consistency and original file tracking to coexist.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes: a reception unit receiving whether to print a first-kind data item or a second-kind data item; a storing unit storing a plurality of the first-kind data items in association with a data name; an acquiring unit acquiring the first-kind data item from the storing unit; a transmission control unit transmitting the acquired fist-kind data item if the reception unit receives the print of the first-kind data item; a second-kind data storage control unit storing, in the storing unit, the second-kind data item, which is a converted data item of the transmitted first-kind data item, in association with the data name of the transmitted first-kind data item; and a first display control unit displaying a display image including an image generated from the second-kind data item stored in the storing unit and an image representing the data name corresponding to the second-kind data item.
