Information Processing Apparatus for Structured File Linking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing document file sharing systems fail to automatically structure large volumes of files according to user preferences, leading to inconsistent and subjective organization across different users.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and medium that acquires structured information from multiple users, suggesting new content linking destinations based on the structured information created by other users, using a server that manages and presents structured information with subjective judgment, and suggests items as linking destinations for new content based on calculated scores and evaluation results.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If automatic structuring techniques are applied to large volumes of files, then file organization is automated, but the structure implemented may not suit user preferences
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where users can evaluate and rate the suggested structured information. This feedback loop allows the system to learn from user preferences and improve its automatic structuring capabilities over time, resolving the contradiction between automation and user preference adaptation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary structuring of files automatically, then presents the structured information to users for evaluation and correction. This preliminary action enables automation while allowing users to adjust the structure according to their preferences, balancing automation with adaptability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple users create structured information independently, then each user can organize files according to their own preferences, but consistency and shared understanding across users deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges multiple users' structured information into a unified knowledge base. By combining and comparing different users' structuring approaches, the system identifies common patterns and recommendations that maintain consistency across users while preserving individual preferences.
Solution Approach 2:
The system acts as an intermediary between users, providing a centralized platform where structured information from multiple users is stored, compared, and evaluated. This intermediary function enables users to maintain their individual organization preferences while achieving cross-user consistency through shared evaluation and recommendation mechanisms.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the system suggests linking destinations for new content, then organization consistency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically analyzing new content and suggesting appropriate linking destinations based on existing structured information patterns. This self-service capability improves organization consistency without requiring complex user intervention or manual configuration, thereby limiting the increase in system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes parameters such as suggestion thresholds, evaluation criteria, and recommendation algorithms to balance consistency improvement with system complexity. By dynamically adjusting these parameters, the system achieves effective organization consistency while maintaining manageable complexity levels.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to acquire structured information created by a first user and structured information created by a second user, the structured information including structured contents and in accordance with the acquired structured information, suggest a content as a linking destination of a new content when the new content is incorporated in the structured information created by the first user.
