Annotation Display Method for Terminal Image Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
When image data is switched from one terminal to another, existing systems fail to automatically display annotations added to the image data, requiring manual re-adding or deletion, which is time-consuming and reduces work efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A method where the first device determines if an annotation is added to the image data before switching, stores it in association with the image data, and upon switching, searches for similar image data to superimpose and display the stored annotation on the new image data, eliminating the need for manual re-adding or deletion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If annotations are manually re-added after image data switching, then annotation display is achieved, but work efficiency decreases due to time-consuming manual operations
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by storing annotation information in association with image data before switching occurs. When image data is switched, the system automatically retrieves and displays the corresponding pre-stored annotations, eliminating the need for manual re-adding operations and significantly improving work efficiency.
2Productivity
If annotations are automatically transferred with image data switching, then work efficiency improves, but system complexity increases due to additional storage and retrieval mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges annotation information with image data by storing them in association with each other in the storage unit. This integration allows the annotation management function to be automatically performed alongside image data management, achieving efficient annotation transfer without requiring a separate complex annotation management system.
Solution Approach 2:
The storage unit is designed to store both image data and annotation information in a unified manner, enabling it to serve multiple functions: storing image content, storing associated annotations, and automatically retrieving the correct annotation when image data switches. This multi-functionality reduces overall system complexity.
3Extent of automation
If annotations are stored in association with image data, then automatic redisplay is enabled, but storage requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a copy of annotation information and stores it in association with the corresponding image data in the storage unit. This copying approach enables automatic redisplay of annotations when image data is switched, as the annotation copy is readily available alongside the image data without requiring additional complex retrieval mechanisms.

AI summary
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium has stored therein a program that causes a computer to execute a process including determining, in response to detection of switching of displayed image data, whether a first annotation is added to first image data which is displayed before the switching, storing the first annotation in a storage in association with the first image data in a case where it is determined that the first annotation is added to the first image data, determining whether first specific image data exists in the storage, the first specific image data satisfying a condition with respect to second image data which is displayed after the switching, and superimposing, in a case where it is determined that the first specific image data exists, a second annotation stored in the storage in association with the first specific image data on the second image data to display the second annotation.
