Solution Overview

Problem

Users face challenges in determining whether the relationships between values for multiple entry fields in past data conform to current or past rules, which are essential for data processing and reference in information processing systems.

Innovation Solution

An information processing apparatus equipped with a processor that compares values in past data against current and past rules, providing notifications when relationships do not conform, and displaying icons to indicate rule compliance on a user interface.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If users manually check past data against current rules, then data accuracy can be maintained, but user workload and time consumption increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata accuracyVSAvoiduser time consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automatic rule conformity checking without requiring user intervention. The processor independently compares past data values against current rules, generates conformity results, and presents them to users, eliminating the need for manual verification while maintaining data accuracy

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides automatic feedback to users regarding rule conformity of past data. By generating and displaying conformity results that indicate whether data relationships meet current rules, the system enables users to quickly identify non-conforming data without manual checking, thus maintaining reliability while reducing time consumption

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If users manually analyze relationships between multiple entry fields, then data compliance can be verified, but operational complexity and difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata complianceVSAvoidoperational simplicity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically performs the complex task of analyzing relationships between multiple entry fields against current rules. The processor independently executes the conformity checking logic, generating results that users can directly interpret, thereby ensuring data compliance while eliminating operational complexity for users

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system acts as an intermediary between past data and current rules, performing the complex comparison operation. By introducing this automated intermediary that handles the intricate relationship analysis, the system ensures accurate compliance verification while keeping the user interface simple and easy to operate

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to, in a case where a relationship between a first value for a first entry field and a second value for a second entry field in past data created in past does not conform to a current rule for a current time on a relationship between a value for the first entry field and a value for the second entry field, output a notification.
