Printed-Object Sequence Checks for Isolated-Network Information Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information management systems face challenges in managing medical information due to storage omissions caused by losses of printed objects, multi-feeds in scanners, or similar issues, leading to incomplete data in isolated networks.
Innovation Solution
An information management system that includes a management system, a print system, and a management device. The print system causes a printing device to generate a printed object with identification information following a predetermined order rule. The management device acquires identification information from scan data and notifies storage omission of management information in a database based on the acquired identification information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a scanner reads a printed object to acquire management information and store it in a database, then the management information can be stored in the database, but storage omission may occur due to loss of printed object or multi-feed in scanner
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by printing identification information in advance according to a predetermined order rule, and the management device checks this identification information before storage to detect potential storage omissions. This preventive approach ensures that any missing data is identified before it causes problems, thereby improving storage reliability while preventing information loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The management device provides feedback by notifying the user when storage omission is detected based on the identification information. This feedback mechanism allows the system to detect and report incomplete storage situations, enabling corrective actions to be taken and ensuring that all management information is properly stored, thus improving reliability while preventing information loss.
2Reliability
If identification information is printed on every printed object to enable storage verification, then storage omission can be detected, but processing load increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the essential identification information from the printed object for verification purposes, rather than processing the entire management information. This selective extraction approach enables storage omission detection while minimizing the processing load, as the management device only needs to check the identification information against the predetermined order rule rather than verifying all data contents.
3Loss of information
If the management device checks every printed object's identification information, then storage omission can be detected, but the notification process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The printed object itself serves as the verification medium by containing identification information that automatically enables storage omission detection when processed by the management device. This self-service approach simplifies the notification process, as the system only needs to compare the identification information against the predetermined order rule and notify the user of any discrepancies, rather than implementing a complex verification and notification system.

AI summary
An information management system includes: a management system that manages management information; a print system that causes a printing device to print the management information acquired from the management system; and a management device that acquires the management information from scan data of a printed object with the management information printed thereon, and stores the acquired management information in a database on an isolated network isolated from an external network, and the print system causes the printing device to generate the printed object with identification information in accordance with a predetermined order rule printed thereon, and the management device acquires the identification information from the scan data of the printed object and gives a notification of a storage omission of the management information in the database, based on the acquired identification information.
