Information Processing Apparatus Screen Transition Setting Notification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In information processing terminals like smartphones and personal computers, screen transitions after setting changes can lead to erroneous operations when users return to previous screens without being notified of the setting changes, causing confusion and potential errors.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus with a processor that maintains and notifies users of setting changes by using flags to track changes and alert users when transitioning between screens, ensuring that setting changes are acknowledged before further operations are performed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If screen transition is made after setting change without notification, then operational efficiency is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to erroneous operations
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by notifying the user of setting changes when returning to a screen. The notification unit detects when a screen is displayed again after a transition, checks if setting changes occurred during the transition, and presents notification information to the user. This feedback mechanism ensures users are aware of setting changes without preventing screen transitions, thus maintaining operational efficiency while improving reliability.
2Reliability
If notification of setting change is provided, then reliability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by setting a change notification flag when a setting change occurs, before the user returns to the screen. The notification unit then checks this flag and provides notification only when necessary. This approach prepares the system in advance for potential notifications without continuously monitoring or complicating the system architecture, thus improving reliability while minimizing added complexity.
3Reliability
If screen transition is prevented after setting change, then reliability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides feedback to the user through notification information when setting changes have occurred upon returning to a screen. This feedback allows users to make informed decisions about whether to proceed with operations or modify settings, maintaining ease of operation by not blocking transitions while improving reliability through awareness of setting changes.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to perform control for displaying a first screen for receiving a change of setting of processing and an execution instruction of the processing, cause the screen to transition while maintaining first setting that is setting changed on the first screen, and perform notification that the first setting is changed upon receiving the execution instruction of the processing is received on the first screen in a case where a transition from the first screen to a second screen for receiving a change of second setting related to the processing or from the first screen to the second screen for receiving processing different from the processing received on the first screen is made during a period from the change of the first setting to reception of the execution instruction of the processing received on the first screen.
