Display Screen Data Editing Apparatus History Table Generation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display-screen-data editing apparatuses struggle to efficiently input devices and comments, especially when devices lack pre-assigned comments, and fail to adapt to complex topologies, leading to difficulties in recognizing device usage and flexibility in generating screen data.
Innovation Solution
A display-screen-data editing apparatus that generates a history-inclusive variable table associating devices, comments, and usage conditions, allowing for search and input of devices or comments based on character strings, even if comments are not pre-assigned, enhancing input efficiency and flexibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If comments are pre-assigned to devices in advance, then input efficiency is improved by narrowing down candidates, but flexibility is reduced when devices lack pre-assigned comments
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of screen data to extract device usage information and pre-generates a history table before the actual input operation. This allows the system to provide assisted input based on historical usage patterns without restricting the user from entering new or unrecorded device-comment combinations.
2Reliability
If only preset comments are used, then input errors are reduced, but the ability to respond to complex display topologies is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The history table serves as an intermediary data structure that bridges between the limited preset comments and the need for flexible device description. It extracts and stores actual device usage patterns from screen data, providing a reference that assists input without constraining the range of acceptable inputs.
3Quantity of substance
If a large number of devices are used, then device coverage is improved, but recognition of device usage becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides feedback by displaying extracted device usage information from the history table during the input process. This feedback mechanism helps users recognize and understand device usage patterns even when a large number of devices are involved, by showing relevant historical context and usage examples.

AI summary
A display-screen-data editing apparatus including: a storing unit that stores therein a variable table in which a device and a comment for the device are associated with each other; a table generating unit that generates a history table by analyzing screen data and furthermore generating a history-inclusive variable table by combining the variable table and the history table; and a search processing unit that performs a search process on a device and a comment in the history-inclusive variable table on a basis of a character string input to one of a device input field and a comment input field and displays extracted device or comment as a list, wherein a device or a comment that is selected from the displayed list is input to the device input field and the comment input field.
