Image Processing Display Connection via Automatic Proximity Transfer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image processing systems require users to manually input or search for connection information to connect with an image processing apparatus, which is cumbersome and inefficient.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that generates a display screen for an information processing apparatus and sets a state where connection information can be received by an external terminal device brought in proximity, utilizing proximity wireless communication to automatically transfer this information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If connection information is displayed on the display unit of the image processing apparatus, then the user can access the information, but the user must manually input the URL which increases operation complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects the presence of a terminal device and transmits connection information without requiring manual user input. The image processing apparatus self-services by initiating the connection information transmission process when a terminal device is detected in proximity, eliminating the need for users to manually copy and paste URLs.
Solution Approach 2:
A communication interface serves as an intermediary between the display unit and the terminal device. This interface automatically captures connection information from the display and transmits it to the terminal device through wireless communication, mediating the information transfer without requiring direct manual user intervention.
2Loss of information
If the user accesses the image processing apparatus via network to search for URL, then connection information can be found, but the process is time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The connection information is prepared and stored in advance on the display unit of the image processing apparatus. When a terminal device is detected, the system immediately transmits the pre-prepared connection information without requiring the user to perform time-consuming search operations through network access.
Solution Approach 2:
The manual mechanical process of visually searching, copying, and pasting URLs through network access is replaced by an automated wireless transmission mechanism. The system uses wireless communication to automatically transfer connection information from the display unit to the terminal device, substituting the time-consuming manual network navigation process.
3Ease of operation
If automatic transmission of connection information is implemented, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The communication interface is designed to perform multiple functions: detecting the presence of terminal devices, capturing connection information from the display unit, and transmitting this information wirelessly. By making the interface multi-functional, the system reduces the need for separate dedicated components for each function, thereby limiting the increase in overall device complexity.
