Solution Overview

Problem

Current information processing systems lack an effective method to dynamically adjust the display size and position of images associated with movable objects based on their changing positions and distances within a management area, leading to inefficient user interaction and monitoring.

Innovation Solution

An information processing apparatus with a display controller that adjusts the display size of images associated with movable objects in real-time based on their position information, using a combination of position detection methods and deformation processing to align the virtual management area with the display screen, ensuring clear and intuitive representation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If the display size of images associated with movable objects is kept constant, then the display layout is simple and stable, but the user cannot intuitively perceive the changing positions and distances of movable objects

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveposition informationVSAvoiddisplay control complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic display size adjustment where the display size of images associated with movable objects changes automatically based on their position and distance from the user. This dynamic adaptation allows the display to reflect real-time spatial relationships without requiring complex manual configuration, resolving the contradiction between information preservation and system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously receives position information from detection devices and uses this feedback to adjust display sizes in real-time. This closed-loop feedback mechanism ensures that the display accurately represents the current spatial state of movable objects, maintaining information integrity while automating the control process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Ease of operation

If the display size of images is adjusted based on position information, then user interaction and monitoring are enhanced, but the display may become disorganized or inconsistent

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interactionVSAvoiddisplay organization
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent systematically changes display parameters (size, position) based on quantitative position information from detection devices. By establishing clear relationships between object position parameters and display parameters, the system maintains organized and consistent displays even as sizes adjust dynamically, preventing visual chaos while enhancing user interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If position detection methods are implemented to track movable objects, then real-time monitoring is achieved, but the system complexity and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveposition detection accuracyVSAvoiddetection system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs position detection devices that serve multiple functions: detecting the position of movable objects, calculating distances from the user, and providing data for display adjustments. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated components, thereby achieving precise measurement while limiting the increase in system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
