Display Apparatus Direction-Based Point Color Change
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional information display apparatuses struggle to effectively visualize the movement destination of a designated point, especially when the object passes through the same position multiple times, making it difficult to recognize the movement destination due to overlapping designated points.
Innovation Solution
An information display apparatus comprising an image file storage unit, an image display control unit, a designated point input unit, a designated point display control unit, and an image switching display control unit, which allows users to input and display designated points sequentially, and changes the display mode of the points based on the transition direction, facilitating the visualization of the movement destination.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the object position in each image is simply designated to draw the series of designated points, then the designated points can be displayed at each position, but the designated points overlap each other when the object passes through the same position multiple times, making the movement destination hardly recognizable
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies color changes to designated points based on their transition direction. When an object moves through the same position multiple times, each passage is marked with a different color corresponding to its direction of movement. This allows overlapping points to be visually distinguished, preserving movement destination information while maintaining simple point designation operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a dimensional attribute (color) to the designated points beyond their spatial position. By encoding directional information in the color dimension, the system can represent multiple passages through the same position without loss of movement destination recognition, effectively transforming a 2D position problem into a 3D representation including color.
2Quantity of substance
If multiple designated points are displayed at the same position, then all positions are covered, but the visual overlap makes it difficult to recognize the movement destination
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses color as a visual differentiator for designated points at the same position. Each point's color reflects its transition direction, enabling users to detect movement destinations even when multiple points overlap spatially. This resolves the detection difficulty while maintaining the quantity of designated points.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the visual parameters of designated points by assigning different colors based on transition direction. This parameter change allows the system to maintain multiple designated points at the same position without compromising movement destination detection, as each point's directional parameter is visually distinct.
Data Source
AI summary
An information display method, includes inputting a designated point in each of the series of image data items of the image file, which is sequentially designated as the analysis target point by a user's manipulation, every time each of the series of image data items of the image file is sequentially displayed on the display screen, displaying each of the series of designated points, which are sequentially input, at each input position, sequentially displaying each of the series of image data items stored in the designated image file along with each of the series of designated points while each of the series of designated points is displayed, and displaying a designated point after a change in a display mode different from that of a designated point before the change, every time a transition direction of each of the series of designated points changes.
