Colorimetry System User Choice Data Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing colorimetry systems do not provide an option to store data obtained from accidental colorimetry, leading to repeated measurements when the user does not perform colorimetry on the correct color patch line.
Innovation Solution
A colorimetry system that includes a comparison processing unit to determine if the colors measured correspond to the expected colors, and a display processing unit to ask the user if they want to store the data if the colors do not match, allowing for intentional storage of data from incorrect measurements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the system automatically discards colorimetric data when the measured row does not match the expected row, then data quality is maintained, but user burden increases and productivity decreases due to repeated measurements
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts its data handling behavior based on the matching result. When colors match, it automatically stores data; when they don't match, it offers the user a choice to store or discard. This dynamic approach resolves the contradiction by adapting the strictness of data validation to the specific situation, maintaining reliability when appropriate while improving productivity when accidental mismatches occur.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of data storage permission based on the color matching result. Instead of a fixed policy (always discard), it uses the matching result as a condition to change the storage parameter, allowing flexible data handling that balances quality control with user convenience and productivity.
2Measurement precision
If the system requires strict verification of color patch lines, then measurement accuracy is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to repeated failed attempts
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts its verification strictness based on whether the colors match. When there is a match, it enforces strict verification and automatically stores data. When there is no match, it relaxes the verification and offers the user a choice, thereby maintaining measurement precision when needed while improving ease of operation when accidental mismatches occur.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the operation mode parameter from strict automatic rejection to flexible user-choice mode based on the color matching result, resolving the contradiction between measurement precision and ease of operation by adapting the verification level to the specific measurement context.
3Productivity
If the system offers user choice to store accidental colorimetric data, then productivity improves by reducing repeated measurements, but device complexity increases due to additional processing logic
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary color matching verification before presenting the storage choice to the user. This preliminary action filters out clear mismatches that should be rejected, while allowing user choice only for cases where the mismatch might be intentional or acceptable, thereby improving productivity without excessively increasing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses the color matching result as a parameter to change the level of user interaction required. When colors match, it automatically stores without user input; when they don't match, it presents a choice. This parameter-based approach streamlines the logic by using the matching result to automatically determine the appropriate processing level.

AI summary
A colorimetry system determines whether colors of a row on which colorimetry is performed correspond to colors of a row expected for colorimetry and, if the colors of the row on which colorimetry is performed correspond to the colors of the row expected for colorimetry, performs a process of storing data on the colors of the row on which colorimetry is performed. However, if the colors of the row on which colorimetry is performed do not correspond to the colors of the row expected for colorimetry, the colorimetry system performs a display process of asking the user whether to store data on the colors obtained by colorimetry.
