Chromatograph Management Screen Layout With Fixed Aspect Ratios
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing systems for chromatograph apparatuses face issues with aspect ratio changes during display mode adjustments, leading to incorrect visual recognition of analysis results and operational inconvenience.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that maintains a common aspect ratio for display images of multiple chromatograph apparatuses, rearranging them when the display mode changes to prevent aspect ratio alterations and ensure consistent visual recognition.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If windows are aligned on the display screen, then the arrangement of multiple display images is improved, but the aspect ratio of windows changes causing incorrect visual recognition of analysis results
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the arrangement of display images based on the current display mode (portrait/landscape) while maintaining fixed aspect ratios. The layout configuration changes adaptively according to screen orientation, allowing windows to be repositioned without distortion of their internal content proportions
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the arrangement parameters (position and size) of display images based on display mode parameters, while keeping the aspect ratio parameter constant. When the display mode changes between portrait and landscape, the system recalculates window positions and dimensions to fit the new orientation without altering the aspect ratio of individual graphs
2Adaptability or versatility
If the display mode of the management screen is changed, then the adaptability to different viewing conditions is improved, but the aspect ratio of display images changes causing visual distortion
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides dynamic adaptability to different display modes (portrait and landscape) while maintaining static aspect ratios for each display image. The layout configuration is dynamically adjusted based on the current display mode, allowing the management screen to adapt to various viewing conditions without distorting the graphs
Solution Approach 2:
The patent handles display mode changes by utilizing the spatial arrangement dimension rather than altering the intrinsic aspect ratio dimension. When switching between portrait and landscape modes, the system repositions and resizes windows in the spatial layout while preserving their internal aspect ratios, effectively separating the layout adaptability from the content proportion

AI summary
An information processing apparatus capable of communicating with a plurality of chromatograph apparatuses includes a display unit, a display processing unit, and an operation receiving unit. The display processing unit causes the display unit to display a management screen in which a display image for each of the chromatograph apparatuses related to at least one of an analysis result in a plurality of the chromatograph apparatuses and operation on a plurality of the chromatograph apparatuses is arranged at a common aspect ratio. The operation receiving unit receives change operation for changing a display mode of the management screen. When the change operation is received by the operation receiving unit, the display processing unit rearranges the display image in a state where an aspect ratio is maintained.
