Workflow Target Device Capability Verification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies do not account for the capability of a target device to perform a registered workflow when the device is changed among multiple processing execution devices, leading to potential unintended process execution.
Innovation Solution
A non-transitory computer-readable medium and information processing device with a storage, operation interface, display, and communication interface that determines whether a selected device can perform a registered workflow when the target device is changed, displaying the result to the user and allowing for selection of alternative devices or setting adjustments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the target device is changed among multiple processing execution devices, then the adaptability and versatility of the system is improved, but the reliability of workflow execution deteriorates due to potential capability mismatches
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary determination of device capability before allowing workflow execution. When a user selects a target device, the system proactively checks whether the device can execute the registered workflow, and displays the determination result to the user before the workflow is actually executed, preventing capability mismatches in advance
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by displaying the determination result to the user. When checking whether the selected device can execute the workflow, the system provides this information back to the user through the display unit, enabling informed device selection and preventing unintended process execution
2Reliability
If the system checks device capability before workflow execution, then the reliability of process execution is improved, but the operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-checking of device capability automatically without requiring manual verification by the user. The determination unit autonomously checks whether the selected device can execute the registered workflow, and the system automatically handles the capability verification process, minimizing the operational burden on users

AI summary
A non-transitory computer-readable medium stores program instructions executable by a processor of an information processing device that includes a storage, an operation interface, a display, and a communication interface configured to communicate with a plurality of devices. The program instructions are configured to, when executed by the processor, cause the information processing device to set a first device selected from among the plurality of devices as a target device to perform a particular process registered in the storage, when receiving an operation to change the target device from the first device to a second one of the plurality of devices via the operation interface, determine whether the second device is capable of performing the particular process, and control the display to display a result of the determination as to whether the second device is capable of performing the particular process.
