Remote Operation Unit Drawing Input Validation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In scenarios where multiple devices communicate remotely, there is a challenge in ensuring that operations on devices with and without operation authority are correctly validated and executed, particularly when drawing input operations are performed on invalidated operations.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus with a communication unit, display, and remote operation unit that validates specific drawing input operations on an external device by transferring operation authority from a terminal device to an image forming device, allowing valid operations to be executed on the image forming device while maintaining invalidation on the terminal device.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a drawing input operation is performed on the display with the screen displayed on the external device displayed on the display, validates an operation corresponding to the drawing input operation, among the at least one operation on the external device which have been invalidated
Solution Approach 1:
The display acts as an intermediary between the terminal device and the image forming device. When a drawing input operation is performed on the display showing the external device screen, the system validates the corresponding operation on the external device. This mediator mechanism enables seamless operation transfer without requiring complex direct communication protocols between terminal and external device.
2Reliability
In scenarios where multiple devices communicate remotely, there is a challenge in ensuring that operations on devices with and without operation authority are correctly validated and executed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by treating different devices (terminal device, display, image forming device) with different operation authorities uniquely. Each device has a specific role in the validation chain: the terminal device initiates operations, the display captures drawing input operations, and the image forming device executes validated operations. This localized quality assignment simplifies the overall communication protocol by clearly defining validation responsibilities at each stage.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a communication unit, a display, and a remote operation unit. The communication unit communicates with an external device. The display displays information, and receives an input operation. The remote operation unit remotely operates a screen displayed on the external device. The remote operation unit operates the external device in a state in which at least one operation on the external device are invalidated. In the case where a drawing input operation is performed on the display with the screen displayed on the external device displayed on the display, the remote operation unit validates an operation corresponding to the drawing input operation, among the at least one operation on the external device which have been invalidated.
