Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional control display systems for monitoring flying objects struggle to differentiate between objects of high and low attention, and prioritize alerts effectively, leading to difficulties in recognizing urgent alerts.

Innovation Solution

A control display system that acquires and processes attribute information of targets to dynamically adjust display modes and alert priorities, allowing for customizable viewpoint control and alert message ordering based on the importance and movement state of targets.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If uniform display mode is used for all flying objects, then device complexity is reduced, but the ability to differentiate high-attention targets from low-attention targets deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay control complexityVSAvoidtarget priority information
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by assigning different display modes to different targets based on their individual attributes. High-attention targets receive enhanced display treatment (different colors, larger icons, prominent positioning) while low-attention targets use standard display modes, allowing observers to quickly distinguish priority targets without uniformly complicating the entire display system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes display parameters (color, size, position, icon type) based on target attributes such as movement state, type, and alert priority. This allows the display to adapt dynamically to different target conditions, conveying priority information through visual parameter variations rather than through complex additional devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If alerts are displayed in generation order with fixed priorities, then the display system is simple to operate, but the ability to highlight urgent alerts deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealert display operationVSAvoidalert recognition reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic alert prioritization where alert display order and prominence are adjusted based on real-time target attributes and movement states. Rather than fixed generation-order display, the system dynamically repositions and restyles alerts according to their current urgency level, ensuring critical alerts are always prominently displayed while maintaining automated operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses feedback from target monitoring data (movement state, position changes, type) to automatically adjust alert priority and display characteristics. This feedback loop ensures that alerts reflecting urgent situations are automatically elevated in prominence without requiring manual operator intervention, thereby improving reliability while keeping operation simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Loss of information

If detailed viewpoint control is applied to all targets, then information completeness is improved, but information processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetarget state informationVSAvoidviewpoint control complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the target population into different categories (high-attention vs. low-attention targets) based on attributes such as movement state, type, and alert status. Different viewpoint control levels are applied to each segment: detailed control for high-priority targets and simplified control for low-priority targets, thereby providing necessary information completeness without uniformly increasing system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies detailed viewpoint control partially only to targets that require it (those with high attention priority or unusual movement patterns), rather than applying it excessively to all targets. This selective approach ensures critical information is captured for important targets while avoiding unnecessary processing complexity for routine targets.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

The degree of urgency of a displayed object is promptly recognized in a control display system including: an information acquisition unit that acquires a target serving as an object of monitoring and attribute information of the target; a control condition storage unit that stores the attribute information of the target and a viewpoint control condition serving as information about a display mode of the target, the attribute information and the condition being associated with each other in advance; a viewpoint control unit that detects attribute information matching the attribute information of the acquired target from the control condition storage unit and that extracts the viewpoint control condition associated with the detected attribute information; and a display unit that displays a result obtained by carrying out viewpoint control of the target on the basis of the extracted viewpoint control condition.
