Development Assistance Device Unified Display for Character Strings
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional development assistance devices require users to manually switch through multiple display modes to adjust display settings for character strings, increasing the burden as the number of selectable display modes grows, making it difficult to ensure all character strings are accommodated in a common display region.
Innovation Solution
A development assistance device that displays an image representing the common display region size and simultaneously displays character strings in each mode, allowing users to easily confirm and adjust the size, font, and character size of each string to ensure they fit within the region.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users manually switch through multiple display modes to adjust display settings, then display settings can be adjusted, but the burden increases as the number of selectable display modes grows
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple display mode examinations into a single unified display that shows all character strings across different display modes simultaneously. Instead of requiring users to switch through each display mode separately, the system combines them into one composite view where all character strings are displayed together with their respective display mode indicators, allowing users to examine and adjust settings for all modes at once.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a new dimension to the display by incorporating display mode identification information as an additional visual layer. Character strings are displayed not only in their content dimension but also annotated with their associated display mode identifiers, creating a multi-dimensional view that allows simultaneous comparison across different modes without requiring sequential switching.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the number of selectable display modes increases, then more display options are available, but the complexity of adjusting display settings increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges the examination of multiple display modes into a single unified interface. All character strings from different display modes are displayed simultaneously in one view, with each character string tagged with its display mode identifier. This consolidation reduces the operational complexity despite supporting an increasing number of display modes.
Solution Approach 2:
The unified display interface serves multiple functions simultaneously: it displays character strings from all display modes, identifies each string's associated mode, allows comparison across modes, and enables adjustment of settings for any mode from the same interface. This multi-functional approach handles increasing numbers of display modes without proportionally increasing interface complexity.
3Manufacturing precision
If users examine display settings for each character string individually, then detailed control is achieved, but the effort required increases with more character strings and display modes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the examination process for multiple character strings across different display modes into a single simultaneous display. All character strings are shown together with their display mode identifiers visible, allowing users to examine and control settings for multiple strings in one view rather than requiring separate examinations for each string and mode combination.

AI summary
The purpose of the present invention is to make it possible for a user to easily confirm whether all of character strings being displayed in respective display modes can be accommodated in a common display region. A development assistance device (10) causes a plurality of character strings (CS) each being displayed in a corresponding one of a plurality of display modes to be simultaneously displayed over an image (P0).
