Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If colorimetric values are stored without accompanying information, then storage is simple, but identification of colorimetric values corresponding to specific regions becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces accompanying information (image data, positional information, identification data) as an intermediary that links colorimetric values to specific regions. This mediator enables accurate identification and association of colorimetric values with their corresponding target regions without complicating the core storage structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a new dimension of data organization by storing colorimetric values together with accompanying information in a database. This multi-dimensional storage approach (colorimetric value + image data + positional information + identification data) enables precise region identification while maintaining systematic data management.
2Device complexity
If manual identification of colorimetric values is used, then system complexity is low, but accuracy of color reproduction decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical identification processes with automated information processing systems. The terminal device automatically captures images, extracts positional information, identifies regions, and retrieves corresponding colorimetric values from the database, eliminating manual errors and improving color reproduction accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where colorimetric values are measured, stored with accompanying information, and then retrieved for verification and adjustment. This closed-loop feedback ensures accurate color reproduction by continuously comparing measured values with target values and making necessary corrections.
3Manufacturing precision
If colorimetric values for multiple regions are managed separately, then region-specific accuracy is improved, but time required for processing increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the management of colorimetric values for multiple regions into a single integrated database system. All colorimetric values are stored together with their associated accompanying information, allowing simultaneous management of multiple regions while maintaining region-specific accuracy through unique identification data.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-storing all colorimetric values with their accompanying information in the database before actual colorimetry operations. This pre-organization of data enables rapid retrieval and processing during execution, reducing processing time while maintaining region-specific accuracy.

AI summary
A colorimetric system includes a terminal device and an information processing device. The terminal device includes a transmitter that associates a colorimetric value indicating a color of a colorimetry target subjected to colorimetry by a colorimetric device with accompanying information including at least one of a captured image of the colorimetry target and positional information of the colorimetry target and transmits the colorimetric value and the accompanying information. The information processing device includes a receiver that receives the colorimetric value and the accompanying information, and a display unit that displays the colorimetric value and the accompanying information in a state in which the colorimetric value is associated with the accompanying information.
