Information Processing Apparatus Targeted Data Sorting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing document processing systems require users to re-sort all data when corrections are needed, which is cumbersome and inefficient, especially when only specific sets require adjustments.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that allows users to designate specific sets for correction, presenting included and excluded data, and enables re-sorting operations such as moving pages between documents, thereby reducing the operational load by only re-sorting necessary data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If all data is re-sorted when a correction is needed, then sorting accuracy is improved, but operation load increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the re-sorting operation by allowing users to designate specific sets that need correction. Instead of re-sorting all data, only the designated sets are re-sorted, thereby maintaining sorting accuracy for corrected portions while reducing overall operation load.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by enabling targeted corrections to specific sets rather than uniform re-sorting of all data. This allows different treatment for different portions of the data, improving efficiency by focusing computational resources only where corrections are needed.
2Manufacturing precision
If all data is re-sorted when a correction is needed, then sorting completeness is improved, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the sorting operation into segments, allowing users to select only the sets requiring correction. This segmentation ensures that sorting completeness is maintained for corrected sets while significantly reducing the time required compared to re-sorting all data.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements partial action by re-sorting only the necessary portions of data rather than the entire dataset. This approach achieves sufficient sorting completeness for the corrected sets without the excessive time consumption of full re-sorting.
3Productivity
If specific sets are designated for correction, then operation efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamic set designation functionality that allows users to flexibly select which sets need correction. This dynamic approach improves operation efficiency by adapting to specific correction needs while managing system complexity through a user-friendly interface.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs an intermediary mechanism (the set designation interface) that mediates between the user's correction needs and the re-sorting operation. This intermediary layer simplifies the interaction while enabling efficient targeted corrections, balancing operation efficiency with manageable system complexity.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to accept designation of a set as a first set that needs a correction to a sorting result, the set being one of sets into which multiple types of data are sorted by type, and cause data included in the first set and data not included in the first set to be presented in response to acceptance of the designation, the data not included in the first set being included in the multiple types of data including the first set.
