Structured Document Display With Area-Based Scrolling for Verification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing structured document display systems require significant time for verification of document association due to inefficient display of correspondence relationships, impairing user efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A structured document display system that includes a receiver and display controller to manage the display of correspondence relationships between hierarchical documents, allowing independent or simultaneous scrolling of document areas based on user input, with controlled display of correspondence lines to enhance visibility and efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the system displays the correspondence relationship between first structured document and second structured document, then the user can verify document association, but the time required for verification increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display area is divided into a first area displaying the first structured document and a second area displaying the second structured document. When the user scrolls in one area, only that area scrolls independently, allowing focused verification of specific document portions without unnecessary scrolling of the entire display, thus reducing verification time while maintaining accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The display system dynamically adjusts scrolling behavior based on mouse pointer position. When the pointer is in the first area, scrolling affects only the first area; when in the second area, scrolling affects only the second area. This dynamic scrolling control allows users to efficiently navigate and verify document associations without the time penalty of scrolling the entire display.
2Loss of information
If the system displays all documents in hierarchical relationship, then complete information is provided, but the display complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The hierarchical documents are displayed in segmented areas - the first area for the first structured document and the second area for the second structured document. This segmentation allows complete hierarchical information to be presented while organizing it in a structured, easy-to-follow layout that reduces perceived complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
Each area has specialized display characteristics optimized for its content. The first area is optimized for displaying the first structured document's hierarchy, while the second area is optimized for the second structured document. This local optimization allows complete information display without overwhelming the user with uniform complexity.
3Ease of operation
If the system scrolls the entire image when user scrolls, then navigation is simple, but the correspondence relationship becomes difficult to track
Solution Approach 1:
The scrolling function is segmented by area. When the user scrolls while the mouse pointer is in the first area, only the first area scrolls. When the pointer is in the second area, only the second area scrolls. This segmentation maintains simple scrolling operations while preserving the correspondence relationship between specific documents in each area, making it easy to track associations.
Solution Approach 2:
The mouse pointer position acts as an intermediary that determines which area scrolls. This intermediary mechanism allows the system to interpret user intent based on pointer location and execute appropriate scrolling behavior, maintaining both ease of operation and correspondence visibility.

AI summary
A structured document display system is provided with a display displaying an image indicating a correspondence relationship between a first structured document and a second structured document, and a display controller controlling the display. The image includes a first area disposed on one side in the left-right direction and displaying the first structured document and a second area disposed on the other side in the left-right direction and displaying the second structured document. When there is input to scroll in a case where a mouse pointer overlaps one of the first area and the second area, the display controller controls the display to scroll the document displayed in one of the first area and the second area. The display controller controls the display to display a correspondence relationship related to documents displayed on the image for a predetermined period of time or longer.
