Wireless Process Registration via Card or Terminal
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing systems face usability issues when a mobile terminal apparatus is used to send commands to a processing apparatus to execute a registered process, as they require capturing the process-identifying information image and sending output commands, leading to poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that includes a processor capable of accepting process registration with identifying information from a card or wireless communication terminal, receiving this information during the process, and transmitting it to the processing apparatus for execution, eliminating the need for manual image capture and command input.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If a mobile terminal apparatus is used to send commands to the processing apparatus by capturing the process-identifying information image, then the processing apparatus can execute the registered process without manual input, but the usability deteriorates due to the complex operation of image capture and command transmission
Solution Approach 1:
The processing apparatus automatically identifies itself and retrieves the process-identifying information from its own display without requiring external capture devices. The system serves itself by using its built-in display and communication functions to enable automatic process execution, eliminating the need for mobile terminal image capture operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the process-identifying information directly from the processing apparatus's display system rather than requiring external capture. By taking out the information through the apparatus's own communication interface, the system eliminates the complex mobile terminal capture and transmission steps while maintaining automatic execution capability.
2Extent of automation
If the mobile terminal apparatus captures the screen image and sends commands, then the system can execute processes without manual input, but the device complexity increases due to the imaging function and command transmission requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The processing apparatus utilizes its existing display and wireless communication functions to simultaneously serve multiple purposes: displaying the process-identifying information and transmitting it to the mobile terminal for execution. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate imaging hardware and reduces overall system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses the wireless communication interface as an intermediary to transfer process-identifying information between the processing apparatus and mobile terminal. This intermediary approach simplifies the system by replacing complex image capture and processing functions with a straightforward data transmission mechanism through the existing communication interface.
