Solution Overview

Problem

Existing sample analyzers in vitro diagnosis, such as biochemical and immunoassay analyzers, lack real-time state tracking and search functionality, making it difficult for hospitals and doctors to manage sample processing efficiently.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for displaying the experimental state of a biological sample, enabling real-time tracking and search of sample processing stages through a sample real-time state search interface, which includes a first display area for experimental state data and a second display area for detailed sub-content and symbol information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If real-time state tracking and search functionality are implemented, then operational efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperational efficiencyVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display interface is segmented into multiple functional areas: a first display area showing experimental state data and a second display area showing detailed sub-content and symbol information. This segmentation allows the system to present comprehensive real-time tracking information without overwhelming the user interface, thereby improving operational efficiency while managing device complexity through structured information presentation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If real-time monitoring of sample processing is enabled, then sample processing management is improved, but information processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesample processing managementVSAvoidinformation processing requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and displays only the most relevant experimental state data in the first display area, while providing access to detailed sub-content in the second display area. This extraction approach allows easy monitoring of sample processing status without requiring all information to be processed and displayed simultaneously, thereby improving ease of operation while managing information processing requirements through selective presentation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Loss of information

If experimental state data and detailed sub-content are displayed simultaneously, then information completeness is improved, but display area requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoiddisplay area requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The system transitions from a single-dimensional display to a multi-dimensional display structure by creating two distinct display areas with different information densities. The first display area provides a summary view of experimental state data, while the second display area provides detailed sub-content. This dimensional organization allows complete information presentation without requiring excessive display area, as users can navigate between summary and detailed views rather than displaying all information at once.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
