Virus Detection Display Control for Cleaned File Notifications
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing apparatuses cause user confusion by notifying virus detection without providing clear differentiation between cleaned and uncleaned files, especially when files are automatically deleted or disconnected.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus with controllers that detect viruses and display the detection only on files that have been cleaned through specific measures, such as deletion, transfer, or updating, ensuring the display is restricted for cleaned files.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If virus detection notification is provided for all infected files, then virus detection coverage is improved, but user confusion increases due to continuous notifications for cleaned files
Solution Approach 1:
The notification system dynamically adjusts its behavior based on the current state of the file. When a file is infected, notifications are displayed to alert users. When the file is cleaned, the notification state automatically changes to non-display, preventing user confusion while maintaining detection coverage
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by monitoring the cleaning status of files and adjusting notification display accordingly. The controller receives feedback about file cleaning operations and modifies the notification behavior to match the current file state, ensuring users are informed of infections but not confused by persistent notifications after remediation
2Productivity
If specific measures like automatic deletion are taken without confirmation, then productivity is improved, but data loss risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection and classification of infected files before taking deletion actions. By identifying files that require deletion in advance and maintaining notification records, the system prepares for efficient automated handling while preserving information about what is being deleted, reducing the risk of erroneous data loss
Solution Approach 2:
The notification system serves as an intermediary between the virus detection/deletion process and the user. It provides a communication channel that informs users of deletion actions, allowing them to verify and potentially intervene if needed, thus mediating between automated productivity and data safety

AI summary
An information processing apparatus including: one or more controllers that detect a virus and perform a specific measure on a file infected with the virus; and a display that displays that the virus has been detected as display content based on control performed by the one or more controllers, in which the one or more controllers control display indicating that the virus has been detected in a case where the file from which the virus has been cleaned as a result of the specific measure corresponds to the file as a target of the display indicating that the virus has been detected.
