Solution Overview

Problem

Existing toxicity evaluation methods do not facilitate easy interpretation and sharing of evaluation results, requiring users to seek external expert opinions, increasing workload and potential for miscommunication.

Innovation Solution

An information processing apparatus and method that allows users to display toxicity evaluation results, including an operation unit for transmitting inquiry notifications to designated destinations, enabling easy sharing and supporting further examination of the results.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If toxicity evaluation results are presented in a detailed technical format, then the precision and completeness of evaluation information is improved, but the ease of interpretation and sharing for users deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation result informationVSAvoidease of interpretation and sharing
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the toxicity evaluation result into multiple hierarchical levels: overview information (easy to understand), detailed technical information (for experts), and explanation information (for interpretation). Users can access different levels based on their needs, resolving the contradiction between information completeness and ease of interpretation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism (the inquiry image with operation units) that mediates between the user and external experts. This intermediary allows users to easily share evaluation results and receive expert opinions without needing to directly communicate complex technical details, thus improving ease of operation while preserving information integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If users seek external expert opinions for further examination of evaluation results, then the reliability of toxicity assessment is improved, but the loss of time and increased workload deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetoxicity assessment reliabilityVSAvoidtime for external inquiries
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by automatically generating comprehensive evaluation results with embedded explanation information before external expert consultation is needed. The system prepares all necessary information (evaluation results, explanations, and context) in advance, so when users do consult experts, the communication is more efficient and requires less time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a copy of the essential evaluation information in an easily shareable format (inquiry image) that can be transmitted to external experts. This copying mechanism allows users to share only the necessary information without needing to explain complex technical details verbally or through multiple communications, reducing time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Ease of operation

If comprehensive evaluation results are shared with external destinations, then the ease of sharing is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of sharingVSAvoidsystem complexity for result generation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential and shareable components of the toxicity evaluation result (overview information and key explanations) into a simplified inquiry image format. By taking out only what is necessary for sharing rather than transmitting the entire complex evaluation system, the ease of sharing is improved while the complexity burden remains in the backend system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

An information processing apparatus includes a processor, in which the processor is configured to output, to a display unit, an inquiry image in which an evaluation result of a toxicity evaluation of a compound is capable of being displayed, the inquiry image including an operation unit that receives an operation of transmitting an inquiry notification regarding the evaluation result to a destination designated in advance, and in a case where the operation unit is operated, execute control of transmitting, to the destination, the inquiry notification including information that is shareable with the destination and that includes at least a part of the evaluation result.
