Push Scanning Notification System for Instruction-Result Correspondence
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulty in determining which push scanning instruction leads to specific results when using the push scanning function of an image reading apparatus multiple times, affecting usability due to the display of multiple processing results without clear correspondence.
Innovation Solution
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with instructions for an information processing apparatus to acquire and display specific information about each push scanning operation, including notifications that indicate the instruction and execution results, allowing users to easily recognize the correspondence between their instructions and execution results.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If push scanning is performed multiple times, then multiple image data and processing results are displayed, but the user cannot determine which instruction corresponds to which result
Solution Approach 1:
The notification is segmented into distinct visual components: specific information (instruction identifier) is separated from processing results, allowing users to quickly identify which instruction corresponds to which result. This segmentation enables users to scan through multiple notifications and match instructions with their corresponding outputs efficiently.
Solution Approach 2:
The notification uses color coding to differentiate between specific information (instruction identifiers) and processing results. By applying distinct colors or visual highlights to different parts of the notification, users can rapidly distinguish instruction types and their corresponding results, improving recognition speed and accuracy when multiple push scanning operations have been performed.
2Loss of information
If multiple processing results are displayed without clear correspondence, then all results are visible, but usability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The notification structure segments information hierarchically: specific information (instruction identifiers) is presented first and separately from processing results. This segmentation allows all results to remain visible while organizing them under their corresponding instructions, preventing information loss while maintaining usability through clear visual hierarchy.
Solution Approach 2:
The notification acts as an intermediary element between the user's push scanning instructions and the processing results. It mediates the relationship by explicitly linking specific information (instruction identifiers) with their corresponding results, making the correspondence relationship clear and improving usability without hiding any processing results.
3Ease of operation
If notifications include specific information about each push scanning operation, then instruction-result correspondence is clear, but notification complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The notification is segmented into standardized modules: specific information section and processing results section. This modular segmentation, while adding detail, uses consistent structural patterns that reduce perceived complexity. Users learn to recognize the segmented structure quickly, making navigation easier despite the increased information content.
Solution Approach 2:
The notification changes its parameter display based on the specific information type. By dynamically adjusting which parameters are highlighted or expanded based on the instruction type, the notification provides detailed correspondence information when needed while maintaining a cleaner appearance for standard operations, effectively managing complexity through adaptive parameter display.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes: a display; an operation interface; a controller, which performs: acquiring image data, through the communication interface, image data, designation information, and specific information; displaying, a notification, a notification including the specific information, the notification indicating that the image data, the designation information and the specific information are acquired; and displaying, a result obtained by performing a processing of the image data designated by the designation information, in response to receiving an operation, displaying, a second notification together with a first notification, in a case where second image data, second designation information, and second specific information are acquired during displaying of the first notification indicating that a first image data, a first designation information and a first specific information are acquired, the second notification indicating that the second image data, the second designation information and the second specific information are acquired.
