Task Template Linking Across Terminals Using Location Copying
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems face challenges in efficiently managing and associating multiple tasks, such as correction requests and improvement reports, particularly in improving usability and identifying corresponding tasks across different user terminals, leading to inefficiencies and increased time in data input and reporting.
Innovation Solution
A data management system that associates multiple tasks with each other, allowing terminal devices to display specific input items based on user selection, and manages data inputs across different users, enhancing usability by linking tasks like correction requests and improvement reports through location-based associations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a document with predetermined input items is distributed from a server to user terminals, then data input capability is provided, but it becomes difficult to improve usability and identify corresponding tasks across different user terminals
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a copy relationship between the correction request and improvement report through location information. The improvement report template includes a location field that copies the location data from the correction request, enabling automatic association without complex manual linking across different user terminals.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-setting the location field in the improvement report template to match the correction request's location. This preliminary configuration enables automatic task association when the improvement report is created, eliminating the need for complex real-time matching logic.
2Productivity
If multiple tasks are managed separately without association, then task management is simple, but it increases time for data input and reporting
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses location information as a copying key to automatically associate the improvement report with the corresponding correction request. By copying the location field from the correction request to the improvement report template, the system enables rapid task association without manual searching or selection, significantly reducing data input time.
Solution Approach 2:
The improvement report system performs self-service by automatically matching tasks through location information. The system autonomously associates the improvement report with the correct correction request without requiring user intervention for task selection, thereby eliminating time loss in manual task association.
3Reliability
If location information is used to associate tasks, then task identification across terminals is improved, but data management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs location information as a copied identifier that remains consistent across different user terminals. By copying the location field from the correction request to the improvement report template, the system achieves reliable task association without requiring complex distributed data management, as location serves as a simple yet effective linking key.
Data Source
AI summary
A data management system, a terminal device, a data input method, and a non-transitory recording medium. The data management system includes one or more terminal devices and an information processing system. The information processing system stores in one or more memories, a template associated with a plurality of tasks including at least a request task and a reporting task, the template having one or more input items set for each task and transmits the template to the one or more terminal devices. Each of the one or more terminal devices displays on a display, the plurality of tasks associated with the template, receives a selection of a task from the plurality of tasks displayed on the display, and displays on the display, the input items associated with the selected task based on the template.
