Coordinate System Setting Information for Graph Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing graph drawing devices, such as calculators, require manual effort to set up and match graph formats between users, making it difficult for students to share and compare measurement data graphs effectively.
Innovation Solution
A data processing method and device that outputs coordinate system setting information to specify the correspondence between axes and attributes, allowing an image generation device to create graphs based on this information, enabling easy sharing and comparison of measurement data across different devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual graph format setting is used in traditional calculators, then each student can independently draw graphs, but the process of sharing and comparing graphs between students becomes time-consuming and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the copying principle by extracting graph format settings from one calculator and automatically replicating them on another calculator. The system captures the coordinate system setting information (including axis assignments, scales, and graph parameters) from a source calculator and copies this configuration data to a target calculator, eliminating the need for manual format matching and enabling rapid graph comparison between students.
2Adaptability or versatility
If each student sets up their own coordinate system independently, then individual graph customization is possible, but consistency and comparability across different students' graphs is difficult to achieve
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the merging principle by combining the graph format configuration capabilities of multiple calculators into a unified system. The coordinate system setting information is merged and standardized across devices, allowing students to maintain individual graph customization while ensuring consistency in coordinate system definitions, axis labels, and scaling parameters across all calculators in the classroom.
3Manufacturing precision
If detailed coordinate system information is manually transferred between calculators, then accurate graph replication is possible, but the complexity of data transfer and the potential for errors increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the mechanics substitution principle by replacing the manual mechanical process of transferring coordinate system settings with an automated electronic data transmission system. The calculator automatically generates and transmits coordinate system setting information (including axis assignments, scale factors, and graph parameters) through digital communication protocols, eliminating manual data entry and reducing transcription errors while maintaining high precision in graph format replication.

AI summary
A data processing method includes: outputting output information, the output information including coordinate system setting information to specify a correspondence between each of one or more coordinate axes of a coordinate system and each of attributes each of which is assigned to each of the one or more coordinate axes, thereby enabling an image generation device including a control unit to acquire the output information and to generate an image including a graph drawn in a coordinate system, which is set in accordance with the correspondence specified by the coordinate system setting information of the acquired output information, based on data on the attribute.
