Display Timing Control for Readable Code Switching Screens
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In image processing systems with limited display regions, displaying a predetermined code alongside rapidly switching messages becomes difficult for users to read due to quick display changes.
Innovation Solution
An image processing apparatus is designed to display a first message with a predetermined code longer than subsequent messages without the code, allowing for easier reading by controlling the display duration based on the need for the code.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If multiple displays are automatically switched in order, then information transmission efficiency is improved, but code readability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the display switching speed variable rather than fixed. The control unit dynamically adjusts the display duration of each screen based on whether it contains a code element. When a code is present, the display remains static for a longer period to enable successful scanning and reading, while non-code displays can switch more rapidly. This dynamic adjustment resolves the contradiction between efficient information transmission and code readability.
2Productivity
If display switching speed is increased, then information transmission efficiency is improved, but code scanning success rate deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating the display characteristics based on the content type. Code-containing displays receive special treatment with extended static display periods and enhanced visibility, while non-code displays maintain rapid switching. This localized quality adjustment ensures that the critical code elements are always readable while maintaining overall information transmission efficiency.
3Ease of operation
If display duration of code-containing screens is extended, then code readability is improved, but information transmission efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by extending the display duration only for screens containing code elements, rather than uniformly extending all displays. This selective approach ensures that code readability is improved only where necessary, while non-code information continues to be transmitted at the original rapid pace, thus minimizing the impact on overall information transmission efficiency.

AI summary
An image processing apparatus includes a display unit configured to display a plurality of displays including a first display displayed based on a state of the image processing apparatus being a first state, the first display including a predetermined code, and a second display displayed based on a state of the image processing apparatus being a second state, the second display not including the predetermined code, the plurality of displays being automatically switched in order, and a display control unit configured to control the display unit in such a manner that the first display is displayed longer than the second display among the plurality of displays.
