Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current display control systems for monitoring biological samples lack efficiency in displaying and aligning multiple sample images and their corresponding position information, especially with the rise of mobile terminals and the need for enhanced observation techniques.
Innovation Solution
A display control system comprising an image data generation device, a storage device, and a display data generation device that captures images of multiple samples, stores and associates them with position data, and generates display data to align and display sample information and position information in a fixed direction, allowing efficient observation and monitoring across various devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If multiple sample images and position information are displayed without alignment, then the display can show all samples, but the user cannot efficiently navigate and switch between samples without losing positional context
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a spatial arrangement dimension by displaying position information (holding unit positions) alongside sample images in a structured layout. This dimensional addition allows users to simultaneously view sample images and their corresponding positions, enabling efficient navigation while maintaining positional context without requiring separate display areas.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges sample image display with position information display into a unified interface. By combining these elements in a single structured layout where position information is displayed adjacent to or associated with sample images, the system eliminates the need for users to switch between different display modes, thereby improving navigation efficiency while preserving positional context.
2Loss of information
If position information is not aligned with sample images, then the display layout is simple, but users cannot easily associate position data with corresponding samples
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs asymmetric layout design where position information and sample images are arranged in non-uniform but meaningful patterns. The display layout asymmetrically positions related information (position data adjacent to corresponding sample images) to reflect their logical association, making it intuitively clear which position information corresponds to which sample without requiring complex alignment mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by displaying position information with different characteristics depending on its relationship to sample images. Position information is strategically placed and formatted to locally emphasize its association with specific samples, allowing the display layout to adapt its structure based on the local content requirements rather than using a uniform approach throughout.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the system is optimized for desktop displays, then detailed analysis is possible, but the efficiency decreases when viewed on mobile terminals
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs a universal display layout that serves multiple device types (desktop and mobile terminals) through a single interface structure. The display system is configured to adapt to different screen sizes and orientations while maintaining the same functional capabilities, allowing efficient observation and analysis on mobile devices without requiring separate optimized interfaces for different platforms.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic display adaptation where the interface automatically adjusts its characteristics based on the display device being used. The system dynamically modifies display parameters such as layout density, text size, and navigation controls to optimize the observation experience for the specific device while maintaining overall functionality, thereby preserving productivity efficiency across diverse platforms.
