Display Device Prioritizing Board Image Elements by Classification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices struggle to effectively display images of boards in board work machines, as important elements may be missed when the image size is reduced, due to the smaller size of components compared to the board.
Innovation Solution
A display device with a control section that adjusts the image size and prioritizes certain classifications of elements, ensuring important elements are displayed even when the image size is reduced, by assigning a priority order to different classifications of elements such as sub-boards, components, leads, markers, and character strings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If the image size is reduced to display the entire board, then the display area coverage is improved, but the visibility of important elements deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The image is segmented into multiple classifications (first classification with first priority order, second classification with second priority order, etc.), where different regions or elements of the board are divided into distinct categories. This segmentation allows the control section to selectively display or emphasize different parts of the board based on their importance, ensuring that critical elements remain visible even when the overall image size is reduced.
Solution Approach 2:
Different priority orders are assigned to different classifications of image elements, creating local quality variations within the displayed image. The control section applies different display treatments to different regions or elements based on their assigned priority, such as maintaining higher resolution, preventing omission, or applying visual emphasis to high-priority elements while allowing lower-priority elements to be omitted or displayed with lower quality when space is limited.
2Quantity of substance
If all elements are displayed without priority differentiation, then the completeness of information is improved, but the clarity of important elements deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The complete set of image elements is segmented into multiple classifications based on their importance to the user. This segmentation into first classification, second classification, and potentially other classifications allows the system to maintain completeness of information by preserving all elements while simultaneously improving clarity of important elements through priority-based display control.
Solution Approach 2:
By assigning different priority orders to different classifications, the system applies local quality enhancement to important elements. The control section can selectively enhance the display quality, resolution, or visibility of high-priority elements while maintaining acceptable display of lower-priority elements, thus achieving both completeness and clarity simultaneously.

AI summary
A display device includes a control section to change a size of an image of a board and to display the image on a display section. The image includes one or multiple first portions belonging to a first classification and one or multiple second portions belonging to a second classification different from the first classification. The control section displays the image including the first portion and the second portion on the display section in a case where the size of the image to be displayed on the display section is larger than a predetermined value, and displays the image including the first portion but not including the second portion on the display section in a case where the size of the image to be displayed on the display section is smaller than the predetermined value.
