Tag Status Display for Multi-File Content Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inconvenience when collectively adding or deleting tags from multiple files, as existing systems only display past usage frequency, making it difficult to grasp the current status of tags across multiple files.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that acquires tag information, detects its association with selected files, calculates a sufficiency rate, and displays the tag information in a mode corresponding to this rate, allowing users to easily identify and manage tag addition and deletion statuses across multiple files.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If only past usage frequency of attribute information is displayed, then the system maintains simplicity in tag management, but the user cannot collectively grasp the statuses of tags currently added to multiple target files
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments tag status information by individual target files, displaying for each file whether a tag is already added, not yet added, or has been deleted. This segmentation allows users to collectively grasp tag statuses across multiple files while maintaining a structured, manageable presentation format that doesn't overwhelm the user with undifferentiated information.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a new dimension to tag management by introducing file-specific status indicators alongside the traditional usage frequency metric. This multi-dimensional approach (combining usage frequency with addition status across multiple files) enables users to comprehensively evaluate tags without requiring a completely complex new system, as each dimension builds upon the existing interface.
2Ease of operation
If tag information is displayed without indicating addition status to each file, then the display format remains simple, but the user cannot easily select tags for collective addition or deletion
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing differentiated status information for each target file individually. Instead of presenting a single aggregated view, the system displays file-specific tag addition statuses (already added, not yet added, deleted) that allow users to make informed decisions about collective tag operations. This localized information quality enhances ease of operation while preserving complete status information.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the system presents only usage frequency data, then data processing remains simple, but the user experiences inconvenience in managing tags across multiple files
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary action by pre-calculating and displaying tag addition statuses for all target files before the user initiates a collective tag operation. This advance preparation of status information allows users to immediately assess whether a tag should be added, deleted, or modified across multiple files, enhancing tag management adaptability without requiring complex real-time processing during the actual operation.

AI summary
The present invention is directed to improving user operability by identifiably notifying the user of the current collective addition statuses of tags to a plurality of files which are targets of tag addition or tag deletion, when the tags are collectively added or deleted to/from the plurality of files. An information processing apparatus acquires tag information stored in association with a plurality of content files, and selects a part of the plurality of content files. The information processing apparatus then detects whether the acquired tag information is associated with the selected content files, and displays the tag information in a display mode according to a sufficiency rate at which the piece of the tag information is added to the selected content files.
