Abstract:
Provided are an input assisting method, a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium and a setup-information input system including an information input apparatus. A hardware processor of the apparatus determines at least one candidate value for at least one input field in a setup screen, by using a first data set created from a database of setting values specified for past jobs, creates a rule for the at least one candidate value, and calculates an evaluation value. On finding no candidate value for which a sufficient evaluation value was calculated, the hardware processor creates a second data set from the first data set, creates a rule for at least one candidate value determined for the at least one input field, by using the second data set, and when detecting an operator's operation on a certain input field, indicates a candidate value determined according to the rule, in the certain input field.

Claim (Index 17):
A setup-information input system comprising:\n a storage device storing a database including sets of setting values that had been specified for jobs used for print processing, associated with time and date information; and an information input apparatus including an input device, a hardware processor which is communicatively connected to the storage device, and a display that displays a setup screen indicating a candidate value in a corresponding input field in response to receiving an operator's operation on the setup screen through the input device, the candidate value being determined by using a rule created by using machine learning, on a basis of one or more setting values each specified in another input field in the setup screen by the operator through the input device, wherein the hardware processor performs operations including: performing a rule creation including\n receiving an operator's operation through the input device to specify one or more setting values for respective one or more input fields in a setup screen displayed on the display, \n creating a first data set by extracting from the database sets of setting values, each including the one or more setting values specified by the operator, \n determining, by using the first data set, at least one candidate value to be indicated in at least one of the other input fields in the setup screen, respectively, and \n creating a rule that associates the one or more setting values specified by the operator with the at least one candidate value; \n calculating an evaluation value indicating a degree of association between the one or more setting values specified by the operator with the at least one candidate value, to judge whether the evaluation value is not less than a predetermined criterion; on finding no candidate value for which the evaluation value being not less than the predetermined criterion was calculated, performing a rule re-creation including,\n creating a second data set by trimming the first data set by using a data-trimming rule in terms of time, \n determining, by using the second data set, at least one second candidate value to be indicated in the at least one of the other input fields, respectively, and \n creating a rule that associates the one or more setting values specified by the operator with the at least one second candidate value; and \n in response to detecting an operator's input operation on a certain input field among the at least one of the other input fields in the setup screen, causing the display to indicate a candidate value determined according to the rule, in the certain input field.
