Drawing Device Object Script Association Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In existing drawing devices, when objects are copied between screens, the process of creating and managing screen scripts is inefficient due to the lack of association management between objects and screen scripts, requiring users to manually recreate screen scripts for each editing screen.
Innovation Solution
A drawing device with a management unit that associates objects with screen scripts, allowing for the automatic registration and copying of screen scripts when objects are copied between editing screens, thereby eliminating the need for manual recreation of screen scripts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If objects are copied between editing screens without association management, then object copying is simple, but screen scripts must be manually recreated for each screen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements automatic copying of screen scripts along with objects between editing screens. When an object is copied from a source editing screen to a destination editing screen, the associated screen script is automatically copied and registered with the destination screen, eliminating manual screen script recreation while maintaining simple object copying operation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the object copying process with the screen script copying process. By managing the association between objects and screen scripts, the system combines these two previously separate operations into a single automated process, where copying an object automatically triggers the copying of its associated screen script
2Adaptability or versatility
If screen scripts are manually created for each editing screen, then each screen has independent control, but work efficiency for creating multiple screens decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables screen scripts to be copied automatically when objects are copied between screens. This allows users to leverage existing screen scripts from source screens for destination screens, maintaining screen independence while dramatically improving productivity by eliminating repetitive manual screen script creation work
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary action by pre-associating screen scripts with objects in the source editing screen. This association is established in advance, so that when objects are copied to destination screens, the corresponding screen scripts are automatically transferred without requiring manual intervention, thus improving work efficiency while preserving screen independence
Data Source
AI summary
A drawing device includes: a display unit that displays an editing screen for creating a plurality of screens to be displayed on a programmable display device; a screen data generation unit that generates screen data configured by the plurality of screens and including an object that is a display element arranged on the editing screen; a screen script generation unit that generates a screen script that is a processing program to be executed only when a specific screen out of the plurality of screens to be displayed on the programmable display device is displayed; and an association management unit that manages an association between the object and the screen script. When the object is copied from a source editing screen to a destination editing screen, the screen script generation unit registers, with the destination editing screen, the screen script associated with the object to be copied.
