Service Use Support Device Automates Image Routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulty in easily selecting and transferring images to the appropriate service provider for receiving various services, as existing technologies require manual selection and processing of images for different services, which is inefficient and time-consuming.
Innovation Solution
A service use support device equipped with a hardware processor that acquires target images, evaluates their attributes against service conditions, and automatically selects and transfers them to the relevant service provider, streamlining the process by determining the most suitable service for each image based on predefined criteria.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual selection and processing of images for different services is required, then users can control which service receives which image, but the process becomes inefficient and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The image processing device automatically performs service selection and image transfer without user intervention. The device evaluates image attributes, matches them with service conditions, and autonomously determines the destination service, enabling the system to serve itself rather than requiring manual user control for each operation.
Solution Approach 2:
Service conditions are pre-defined and stored in the device before image processing occurs. By establishing the matching criteria in advance, the device can quickly evaluate images against predefined service requirements, eliminating the need for users to manually search and select appropriate services during the image transfer process.
2Productivity
If automatic service selection is implemented, then the process becomes efficient and user-friendly, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The automatic service selection system is divided into distinct functional modules: an attribute evaluation unit that analyzes image characteristics, a condition storage unit that holds service requirements, and a service determination unit that performs matching. This segmentation allows each component to handle a specific task, making the overall complex system more manageable and maintainable while achieving high processing efficiency.

AI summary
A service use support device used for receiving a plurality of services, includes a hardware processor that: acquires one or more of target images to be processed; selects a preferred service from among the plurality of services for each of the one or more of target images on the basis of a degree at which each attribute satisfies a condition set for each of the plurality of services; and transfers each of the one or more of target images to a provider that provides each preferred service.
