Process Execution Device with User Feedback Loop for Error Correction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional process execution systems fail to allow users to intervene and re-execute processes mid-stream, leading to wasteful reprocessing when errors occur, as users only become aware of failures after all processing is completed.
Innovation Solution
A device and process execution system that requests an information processing system to perform a second process using the result of a first process, displays the processing result, and allows users to decide whether to re-execute the first process, enabling intervention and correction before proceeding.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the information processing system executes multiple processes automatically without user intervention, then the processing efficiency is improved, but the user cannot detect and correct errors in time, causing wasteful reprocessing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the device displays processing results from the information processing system and notifies users of failures. This allows users to detect errors and provide feedback to re-execute only the affected processes, resolving the contradiction between automated processing efficiency and timely error detection.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the processing workflow into discrete processes that can be executed independently. When a failure occurs, only the affected process needs to be re-executed rather than the entire workflow, enabling efficient error correction while maintaining overall processing productivity.
2Reliability
If the system allows users to re-execute processes after failures, then error correction capability is improved, but the complexity of the process execution system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The device automatically displays processing results and notifies users of failures without requiring complex user intervention. The system provides a simple interface where users can view results and trigger re-execution of affected processes, maintaining reliability while avoiding excessive complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system prepares and displays processing results in advance before the user needs to take action. By showing the processing outcome and failure status upfront, the system enables users to make informed decisions about re-execution without adding complex decision-making procedures.
3Productivity
If the information processing system completes all processes before notifying users, then the processing throughput is improved, but users become aware of failures only after all processing is completed, causing wasteful reprocessing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the processing into independent processes that can be tracked individually. When a failure occurs, the system can notify the user and enable re-execution of only the affected segment rather than the entire processing sequence, reducing energy waste from complete reprocessing while maintaining throughput.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by displaying processing results and failure notifications to users during or after processing. This enables users to correct errors and re-execute only affected processes, reducing energy consumption compared to re-executing the entire workflow.

AI summary
A device, a process execution system, a process execution method, and a carrier means. The device (20) requests an information processing system (50) to perform a second process using result of a first process in the device (20), displays on the display (506) result of the second process acquired from the information processing system (50), and receives input for executing the first process again in the device (20).
