Display Unit Light-Emitting Elements Dubbing Status
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing recording/playback apparatuses face poor visibility in displaying dubbing mode information due to limited screen space when multiple types of information are displayed simultaneously.
Innovation Solution
A recording/playback apparatus with a display unit featuring a first and second display for recording/playback units, and plural light-emitting elements between them, which displays dubbing direction, speed, and completion percentage by lighting these elements, enhancing visibility and usability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If multiple types of dubbing information are displayed separately on the display screen, then the information can be conveyed, but the display becomes small and visibility is poor due to limited screen space
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple types of dubbing information (direction, speed, completion percentage) into a single integrated visual display using light-emitting elements arranged between the first and second displays. This merging of information types onto one display area resolves the contradiction by conveying complete dubbing status without requiring multiple separate display areas, thus maintaining good visibility despite limited screen space.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a two-dimensional text-based display to a visual dimension using light-emitting elements that can indicate multiple information types simultaneously. By using the spatial arrangement and lighting states of the light-emitting elements, the system encodes direction, speed, and completion percentage in a compact visual format, effectively utilizing the limited display area while maintaining information completeness and visibility.
2Area of stationary object
If the display screen size is limited, then the apparatus remains compact, but the visibility of displayed information deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs light-emitting elements that can change their lighting states (on/off, brightness, color) to represent different types of dubbing information. By using visual intensity and color changes of the light-emitting elements, the system achieves high visibility and clear information differentiation within a compact display area, resolving the contradiction between small screen size and information visibility.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution effectively enlarges the display of dubbing mode information on a limited screen by using light-emitting elements to convey multiple types of data, improving visibility and usability while allowing for compactness or power efficiency configurations.
Implementation Method 1
The display unit includes a first display representing the first recording/playback unit, a second display representing the second recording/playback unit, and plural light-emitting elements disposed between the first display and the second display
Data Source
AI summary
A recording/playback apparatus is disposed with a first recording/playback unit, a second recording/playback unit, and a display unit. The display unit includes a first display representing the first recording/playback unit, a second display representing the second recording/playback unit, and plural light-emitting elements disposed between the first display and the second display. The recording/playback apparatus is also disposed with an input unit to which is inputted a start instruction of dubbing for transmitting and receiving data between the first recording/playback unit and the second recording/playback unit. When the start instruction is inputted to the input unit and dubbing is started, the display unit displays the direction of dubbing, the speed of dubbing, and the percentage of completion of dubbing by lighting the plural light-emitting elements.
