Dynamic Display Window Configuration for Process Visualization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing process visualization systems restrict user flexibility in configuring display windows, limiting the use of image surfaces for independent applications and requiring manual preconfiguration of display scenarios, which increases engineering costs and reduces ergonomic information display.
Innovation Solution
A system that allows continuous configuration of the display window by users, dynamically determining image section regions and automatically assigning information regions based on predetermined criteria, enabling flexible use of the image surface while ensuring ergonomic display of status information across multiple screens.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a restricted number of preconfigured display scenarios are used, then the system ensures reliable display of status information, but the user flexibility and adaptability of the image surface is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The display window configuration is made dynamic and continuous rather than static and preconfigured. Users can freely move and resize the display window at any time, and the system automatically adapts the information display to the current window configuration, eliminating the need for manual preconfiguration of display scenarios.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically detects the display window configuration and self-adjusts the information region assignment without requiring user intervention or manual preconfiguration. The automated assignment process allows the system to serve itself by adapting to user-defined configurations in real-time.
2Ease of operation
If the display window is fixed in predefined positions, then the information display is simplified, but the ergonomic display of status information across multiple screens is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The display window can be dynamically positioned and resized by users according to their ergonomic needs and application requirements. The system continuously adapts the information display to match the current window configuration, enabling both ergonomic display and flexible use of image surface.
Solution Approach 2:
The display window serves multiple functions: it can be used for process visualization system information, independent applications, or combinations thereof. The automated information region assignment ensures that the window can adapt to different usage scenarios while maintaining ergonomic display of status information.
3Productivity
If manual preconfiguration of display scenarios is required, then the device complexity is reduced, but the productivity and time efficiency is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects the display window configuration and self-performs the information region assignment without requiring user intervention. This self-service mechanism eliminates manual preconfiguration steps and significantly improves productivity and time efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors the display window configuration and uses this feedback to automatically adjust the information region assignment. This closed-loop feedback mechanism ensures that the information display remains optimized according to the current window configuration without requiring manual reconfiguration.

AI summary
An apparatus for visually displaying an item of status information relating to a technical process is provided, the item being obtained using a process visualization system. The apparatus includes image generating means for generating an image with two image sections, wherein a display window associated with the process visualization system is displayed in the image. An information region for displaying the status information is provided in the display window. The display window is continuously configured by a user. The apparatus has image control means configured to detect a configuration of the display window carried out by the user, to determine image section regions of the display window which have been placed into individual image sections, to compare the image section regions which have been determined with a predefined selection criterion, and to automatically arrange an information region in each image section region of the display window satisfying the selection criterion.
