Resident Program for Unified Image-Processing Device Notifications
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing resident programs for information processing apparatuses do not effectively notify users of various information related to image processing devices, including status and service-related information, in a unified display format.
Innovation Solution
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium stores a resident program that enables an information processing apparatus to communicate with an image processing device, acquire status and service-related information, and display both types of information in the same format using pop-up notifications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a resident program displays status information and service-related information in different formats, then various information can be provided to users, but the user experience becomes inconsistent and confusing
Solution Approach 1:
The notification display unit is designed to handle multiple types of information (status information and service-related information) using a single unified notification format. This allows the system to provide diverse information while maintaining consistent presentation, resolving the contradiction between versatility and consistency.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a resident program only displays status information, then the display format remains simple and consistent, but service-related information cannot be effectively notified to users
Solution Approach 1:
The unified notification display unit is designed to accommodate both status information and service-related information, ensuring that no important information is lost while maintaining a consistent display approach. This resolves the contradiction between information coverage and information delivery effectiveness.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the notification system uses multiple display formats for different information types, then specific information can be highlighted, but the overall system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
By using a single unified notification display unit for both status and service-related information, the system reduces complexity while maintaining the ability to present different information types. This resolves the contradiction between presentation flexibility and system complexity.

AI summary
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium stores a program that is a resident program. The program, when executed by a processor of an information processing apparatus, causes the information processing apparatus to perform operations including: acquiring a status of the image processing device through a communication with an image processing device to be monitored; displaying a first notification image based on the status acquired in the acquiring the status of the image processing device; acquiring service-related information related to a service available to the image processing device to be monitored; and displaying a second notification image related to the service-related information acquired in the acquiring the service-related information. A display format of the second notification image is the same as a display format of the first notification image.
