Information Processing Device Web Browser Timing Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Information processing devices often interrupt user operations when displaying Web pages at inconvenient times, leading to user discomfort during operations like printing or scanning.
Innovation Solution
The device selects a target device for processing, receives user execution instructions, acquires identification information, generates a display URL for a specific Web page, and opens the Web browser only when specific conditions are met, ensuring the Web page is displayed after user operations are completed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If the Web browser is opened to display a Web page immediately after user operation, then the information can be provided to the user promptly, but the user operation is interrupted causing discomfort
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by preparing the Web page data and determining the optimal display timing in advance, before the actual Web browser opening occurs. The controller determines whether to open the Web browser based on the current operation state, and only opens it when the operation is completed or paused, thus avoiding interruption while still providing timely information display.
2Loss of information
If the Web page is displayed during user operation, then the information is provided to the user, but the operation screen is blocked causing user discomfort
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the display behavior based on the current operation state. The controller continuously monitors whether an operation is in progress and dynamically determines the appropriate timing to open the Web browser. This dynamic control ensures that the Web page is displayed only when it will not interfere with ongoing operations, thus maintaining both information delivery and operation accessibility.

AI summary
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a control program, when executed by a computer, causing an information processing device to perform: selecting a target device for executing predetermined data processing based on an operation received by an operation unit; receiving an execution instruction by a user, which is for causing the selected target device to execute the predetermined data processing; acquiring identification information of the target device; generating a display URL which is for displaying a specific page on a display by a Web browser, the specific page being a Web page corresponding to the acquired identification information; determining whether a specific condition is satisfied, the specific condition being a condition for displaying the specific page on the display; and opening the Web browser by designating the generated display URL after the execution instruction is received and in a case where it is determined that the specific condition is satisfied.
