Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for web-based communication and task management lack efficient mechanisms for users to exchange information and manage tasks across different display screens and user identities, leading to inefficiencies in task assignment and completion.
Innovation Solution
A work support system that includes a server and terminal devices connected via a network, allowing users to display and manage label images with messages as tasks, correlating task information with display screen and user identification, enabling efficient task assignment and completion across different users and screens.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If users attach comments to web pages for information exchange, then communication between users is enabled, but task management efficiency deteriorates due to lack of structured task assignment and tracking mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the monolithic comment system into distinct functional components: label images for task identification, structured task information for assignment details, and user identification systems. This segmentation transforms unstructured comments into organized task units that can be independently managed, assigned, and tracked, thereby improving both information exchange and task management efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between users and the web page system. The server receives comment information, processes it into structured task data, correlates it with user identities, and manages task assignments. This intermediary layer enables systematic task management while preserving the ease of web-based communication
2Ease of operation
If comment systems allow arbitrary positioning on web pages, then user flexibility is improved, but task tracking and assignment reliability deteriorates due to lack of structured data correlation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the flexible comment attachment capability with structured task management data structures. When users attach label images to web pages, the system simultaneously captures and correlates multiple data elements including task description, assigned user identification, and display screen information. This merging preserves user flexibility while ensuring reliable task tracking through comprehensive data correlation
3Device complexity
If web-based comment systems are used for task communication, then device complexity is reduced, but loss of time increases due to inefficiencies in task assignment and completion tracking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-structuring task data formats and user identification systems before actual task assignment occurs. The server is pre-configured to recognize and process label images, correlate user identities, and manage task states. This preliminary structuring enables rapid task assignment and tracking without requiring complex real-time processing, thereby reducing time loss while maintaining system simplicity

AI summary
A work support device includes a first display control unit and a registration unit. The first display control unit performs control to display a label image having a message to a second user designated by a first user on a display screen relevant to the message. The registration unit takes the message as a task, and correlates and registers task information on the task with (i) display screen identification information to identify the display screen on which the label image is displayed and (ii) user identification information to identify the second user.
