Solution Overview

Problem

Existing information processing systems do not allow users to easily check the content of an information item after it has been deleted from a display screen, requiring users to transition to another application to confirm notification content.

Innovation Solution

An information processing system that includes a processor which, after accepting an instruction to delete an information item displayed in a superimposed manner on a display screen, allows the user to redisplay the information item on the current screen by a specific user operation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If the information item is deleted from the display screen, then the display screen clarity is improved, but the user cannot check the content of the information item

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay screen clarityVSAvoidinformation item content accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a copy of the deleted information item by storing it in memory along with its display position and content. When the user performs a redisplay operation, the system retrieves this copied information and reconstructs it on the display screen, allowing the user to view the content without restoring the original overlayed information item.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary action by storing the information item data, position, and content in memory immediately when the deletion operation is completed. This preliminary storage enables the system to quickly retrieve and redisplay the information when the user performs the redisplay operation, without requiring the user to navigate through other applications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of information

If the user transitions to another application to check notification content, then the information can be viewed, but the user time and effort increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenotification content accessibilityVSAvoiduser time and effort
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism - a memory storage system that bridges the gap between the deleted information item and the user. The memory stores the information item data and serves as an intermediate access point, allowing the user to retrieve the content through a simple redisplay operation without needing to transition to another application or navigate through complex interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides self-service functionality by automatically storing the information item data in memory when deleted, and enabling the user to retrieve it through a simple redisplay operation. The system handles the complex tasks of data storage, retrieval, and reconstruction automatically, requiring minimal user effort beyond the simple redisplay action.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

An information processing system includes at least one processor configured to, after accepting an instruction to delete an information item displayed in a superimposed manner on a part of a display screen of a display unit and deleting the information item, redisplay the information item by an operation of a specific user on a screen currently displayed on the display unit.
