Process Selection Button Data Association for Display Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing processing apparatuses and display devices lack an efficient method for creating and managing process selection buttons, leading to user confusion and potential unintended process execution due to unclear associations between buttons and functions.
Innovation Solution
A processing apparatus with a display unit that creates and manages process selection buttons, including a creation unit for associating data with these buttons, ensuring clear function associations and preventing unintended process execution through confirmation screens and warnings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If process selection buttons are created without clear data association, then device complexity is reduced, but user confusion increases and reliability decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically creating and storing data associations between process selection buttons and their corresponding processes during the button creation phase. This preliminary data preparation ensures that when buttons are displayed and selected, the correct process associations are already established, preventing user confusion and ensuring reliable process execution without requiring complex real-time management.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary data structure that mediates between the process selection buttons and the processes they trigger. This intermediary layer stores and manages the associations, allowing buttons to be displayed and selected without direct complex interactions, thereby simplifying the user interface while maintaining reliable process execution through the buffered data associations.
2Loss of information
If process selection buttons are displayed without data association, then ease of operation is improved, but loss of information occurs regarding function associations
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically creating and storing data associations between process selection buttons and their corresponding processes during the button creation phase. This preliminary data preparation ensures that when buttons are displayed and selected, the correct process associations are already established, preventing user confusion and ensuring reliable process execution without requiring complex real-time management.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the system provides visual indicators or information to users about the functions associated with each process selection button. This feedback loop ensures that users are informed about what process will be executed when a button is selected, preventing information loss while maintaining ease of operation through clear, intuitive interfaces.
3Reliability
If confirmation screens are implemented for all process selections, then reliability is improved, but productivity decreases due to additional user steps
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by implementing confirmation screens selectively rather than universally. Confirmation prompts are displayed only for specific process selections that carry higher risk or importance, while routine or low-risk processes can be executed without additional confirmation steps. This localized approach maintains reliability for critical operations while preserving productivity for常规 processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies partial action by implementing confirmation screens only when necessary rather than for all process selections. This partial confirmation approach provides sufficient reliability assurance for important processes without adding unnecessary steps that would reduce overall productivity, striking a balance between safety and efficiency.

AI summary
A processing apparatus includes: a processing unit that performs a process related to image data; a display unit that displays a process selection portion, with which the process performed by the processing unit is associated and which is selected to start the process by the processing unit; and a creation unit that, in a case of creating the process selection portion to be displayed in the display unit, creates the process selection portion while associating data with the process selection portion.
