Display Environment Monitoring for Accurate Maintenance Timing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for managing consumable components in display apparatuses, such as projectors, fail to accurately account for the difference between assumed and actual use environments, leading to inadequate maintenance notifications.
Innovation Solution
A control device that includes a processor to receive input of management values for environmental factors, acquire measurement values from sensing devices, and display these values on an optical device, allowing for real-time monitoring and notification of maintenance needs based on actual conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If environment information is input based on an assumed use environment, then the replacement period for consumable components can be set, but the user cannot grasp the difference between the input environment information and the actual use environment
Solution Approach 1:
The system displays both the management value (assumed environment) and measurement value (actual environment) side by side on the display device, providing visual feedback that enables users to grasp the difference between assumed and actual use environments. This feedback mechanism resolves the contradiction by making environment information accuracy visible and understandable to users.
Solution Approach 2:
The environment information is segmented into distinct components: management values (assumed environment) and measurement values (actual environment). By separating these values and displaying them independently, the system allows users to compare and understand the differences between assumed and actual conditions, thereby improving both information accuracy and user comprehension.
2Productivity
If a fixed replacement period is set for consumable components, then maintenance scheduling is simplified, but maintenance timing may not align with actual environmental conditions affecting component degradation
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts maintenance scheduling by continuously monitoring actual environmental conditions through measurement values and comparing them against management values. When significant deviations are detected, the system can modify the replacement period, transforming the fixed scheduling approach into a dynamic one that adapts to real environmental conditions, thereby maintaining both scheduling efficiency and maintenance timing accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of replacement period based on the difference between management and measurement values. By adjusting this key parameter according to actual environmental conditions, the system optimizes maintenance timing to align with real component degradation rates while maintaining efficient scheduling through automated calculations and notifications.

AI summary
A control device includes at least one processor configured to control display on an optical device. The processor implements causing the optical device to display a reception image for receiving input of a management value for a factor concerning an environment in which a display apparatus is disposed, acquiring a measurement value for the factor from a sensing device provided in the display apparatus, and causing the optical device to display the management value, the input of which has been received, and the measurement value acquired from the sensing device.
