Information Processing System User-Specific Process Customization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current information processing systems lack the ability to dynamically adjust settings for individual users within a company, limiting flexibility and convenience in processing requests from connected apparatuses via a network.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system with a first storage part correlating process identification information with apparatus identification information and a second storage part storing change information related to user identification, allowing the system to execute processes based on user-specific settings by applying change information to stored process settings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the system stores only apparatus-level setting information without user-specific customization, then the system structure remains simple, but the adaptability to different users is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The setting information is segmented into two distinct storage parts: a first storage part for apparatus-level default settings and a second storage part for user-specific customization. This segmentation allows the system to maintain simple apparatus-level configurations while adding user-specific adaptability without overwhelming complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system adds a user dimension to the existing apparatus-level settings by introducing a second storage part that correlates process identification information with user identification information. This dimensional expansion enables user-specific customization while preserving the original apparatus-level configuration structure.
2Ease of operation
If the system applies user-specific change information to process settings, then user convenience and authorization control are improved, but the processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
User-specific change information is pre-stored in the second storage part correlated with process identification information before execution. This preliminary preparation allows the process control part to efficiently retrieve and apply the appropriate user customizations during process execution without complex real-time decision-making.
Solution Approach 2:
The process control part acts as an intermediary that retrieves setting information from the first storage part and change information from the second storage part, then applies the change information to generate the final process execution parameters. This intermediary role simplifies the control logic by systematically managing the integration of default and customized settings.
3Reliability
If the system stores detailed change information for each user and process, then the precision of user authorization is improved, but the information storage requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The second storage part stores change information selectively for specific user-process combinations rather than maintaining complete setting information for all users. This local quality approach stores only the differential change information needed for each user, reducing overall storage requirements while maintaining precise authorization control.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of storing complete process settings for each user, the system stores parameter changes (differences) from the default apparatus-level settings. This parameter change approach significantly reduces the volume of stored information while maintaining the ability to precisely control user authorization and preferences.

AI summary
An information processing system includes a reception part and a process control part. The reception part receives a processing request including process identification information identifying a process and user identification information from an apparatus. The process control part, when the received user identification information is stored in correlation with the received process identification information, executes the process according to the process identification information based on the result of applying change information stored in correlation with the received user identification information to setting information stored in correlation with apparatus identification information identifying the apparatus and with the received process identification information.
