Information processing apparatus and diagnosis result notifying method
View Patent ↗According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an information processing apparatus including: a display unit; an information generating module configured to generate, based on a first error code that represents an internal state of the information processing apparatus, a second error code that is more acknowledgeable to a user as compared with the first error code; and a display controller configured to control the display unit to display the second error code so as to allow the user to dictate the internal state of the information processing apparatus by use of the second error code.
1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
a display;
an information generator configured to generate, based on a first error code that represents an internal state of the information processing apparatus comprising a first character string which is not a member of a set with a meaning in a selected language, a second error code configured to be more objectively recognizable to an average user as compared with the first error code; and
a display controller configured to control the display to display the second error code indicative of the internal state of the information processing apparatus,
wherein the second error code comprises a second character string which is a member of a set with a meaning in the selected language.
2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the display controller is configured to display an image comprising objects corresponding with the second error code.
3. The information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second character string of the second error code consists of numeric characters.
4. The information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second character string of the second error code consists of alphabetic characters.
5. An information processing apparatus comprising:
a display;
an information generator configured to generate, based on a first error code that represents an internal state of the information processing apparatus comprising a first character string which is not a member of a set with a meaning in a selected language, a second error code configured to be more objectively recognizable to an average user as compared with the first error code; and
a display controller configured to control the display to display the second error code indicative of the internal state of the information processing apparatus,
wherein the second error code comprises a second character string generated in accordance with a predetermined rule configured to be recognized by the user and configured to avoid characters which are difficult to audibly distinguish from other characters.
6. The information processing apparatus of claim 5 ,
wherein the second error code comprising a repetitive combination of two characters corresponding to the internal state is generated by the predetermined rule.
7. The information processing apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the second character string consists of numeric characters.
8. The information processing apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the second character string consists of alphabetic characters.
9. A method for notifying a diagnosis result, the method comprising:
diagnosing an internal state of an information processing apparatus thereby outputting a first error code indicative of the internal state, the first error code comprising a first character string which is not a member of a set with a meaning in a selected language;
generating a second error code based on the first error code; and
displaying the second error code on a display of the information processing apparatus in order to indicate the internal state of the information processing apparatus,
wherein the second error code comprises a second character string which is a member of a set with a meaning in the selected language.
10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising displaying an image comprising objects corresponding with the second error code.
11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the second character string of the second error code consists of numeric characters.
12. The method of claim 7 , wherein the second character string of the second error code consists of alphabetic characters.
13. A method for notifying a diagnosis result, the method comprising:
diagnosing an internal state of an information processing apparatus thereby outputting a first error code indicative of the internal state, the first error code comprising a first character string which is not a member of a set with a meaning in a selected language;
generating a second error code based on the first error code; and
displaying the second error code on a display of the information processing apparatus in order to indicate the internal state of the information processing apparatus,
wherein the second error code comprises a second character string generated in accordance with a predetermined rule configured to be recognized by a user and configured to avoid characters which are difficult to audibly distinguish from other characters.
14. The method of claim 13 ,
wherein the second error code comprises a repetitive combination of the two characters corresponding to the internal state is generated by the predetermined rule.
15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the second character string consists of numeric characters.
16. The method of claim 13 , wherein the second character string consists of alphabetic characters.
