Template Matching for Message Image Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face a burden when trying to view image content attached to messages, as they must sequentially select and open multiple messages to confirm the images, especially in systems where many messages with images are received, without a straightforward way to access the content without opening each message individually.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that selects an optimal template for displaying message content based on component information, such as keywords, image metadata, and positional information, to efficiently present image content, allowing users to view attached images without reopening each message by using a control section to match and select templates with higher attribute information match rates.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If users sequentially select and open messages to view attached images, then they can confirm the image content, but the user burden and time consumption increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary extraction and display of image thumbnails and metadata (such as sender, subject, and brief description) directly in the message list view. This preliminary presentation allows users to see image content information without opening each message, enabling quick identification and selection of messages of interest.
2Loss of information
If users sequentially open messages to view images, then they can access the complete image content, but the operational complexity and user burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The message list interface is segmented to display multiple pieces of information simultaneously: message headers (sender, subject, timestamp), extracted image thumbnails, and brief image descriptions. This segmentation allows users to view essential image content information directly in the list without opening each message, reducing operational steps while maintaining information accessibility.
3Ease of operation
If the system displays only message titles and sender information in the message list, then the display format remains simple, but the user cannot access image content information without opening messages
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically extracts image thumbnails and metadata from attached images and displays them preliminarily in the message list alongside message headers. This preliminary action enriches the display with visual content information while maintaining the organized list format, allowing users to assess image content before opening messages.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a storage section and a control section. The storage section stores a plurality of templates having different predetermined designs with template attribute information, the plurality of templates each being applied to a display of a content including at least one of a document and an image with the content being laid out on the template. The control section performs a matching processing of component information, as a search key, of the content with the template attribute information, and selects, as a template corresponding to the content to be applied to the display of the content, a template whose template attribute information has a higher match rate than others.
