Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulty in visually locating and accessing their owned products within a large list of products on a display screen, particularly when there are numerous items, making it hard to find and confirm information about possessed products.
Innovation Solution
An information processing method that includes displaying a slider with a quick jump function on the screen, allowing users to easily navigate and access products by tapping icons associated with their possession, which transitions to detailed information about the product, enhancing visibility and accessibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If a large list of products is displayed on the screen, then the quantity of product information is improved, but the ease of locating and accessing specific products deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The long product list is segmented into multiple pages, with each page displaying a manageable subset of products. Pagination controls allow users to navigate between segments, making it easier to locate specific products without being overwhelmed by the entire list at once.
Solution Approach 2:
A search bar is introduced as an intermediary tool between the user and the product list. Users can input search criteria to filter and quickly locate specific products, reducing the time and effort required to find items in a large dataset.
2Loss of information
If detailed information about all products is displayed, then the completeness of information is improved, but the viewability and accessibility of specific products deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Product information is segmented into summary views and detailed views. The main list displays essential information at a glance, while detailed information is available through expandable sections or separate detail pages, allowing users to access comprehensive data without cluttering the main interface.
Solution Approach 2:
The interface is made dynamic with collapsible and expandable sections. Users can expand specific product entries to view detailed information and collapse them to return to the concise list view, allowing the interface to adapt to the user's information needs at different moments.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the product list is made comprehensive, then the adaptability of the system is improved, but the complexity of the interface increases
Solution Approach 1:
The interface employs universal navigation patterns and consistent control mechanisms across different sections. Standardized buttons, icons, and interaction methods are used throughout, reducing the cognitive load required to operate the system despite its comprehensive functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
Complex functionality is segmented into separate, manageable sections with dedicated controls. Each section handles a specific aspect of product management, allowing users to focus on one task at a time while maintaining access to the full system capabilities through clear navigation.

AI summary
An information processing method is an information processing method to be executed by an information processing apparatus including a memory storing a program and a processor, wherein the processor executes the program to perform operations including: performing control to display, on a display, a slider including an icon associated with a product registered by a user, on a list information about products; causing the slider to operate based on an operation of the slider by the user and moving the icon according to the operation of the slider; and transitioning, in response to selection of the icon, to information about the product registered by the user associated with the icon.
