Dynamic Table Generation in Energy Management Displays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Energy management systems are limited in generating new tabular forms while operating, requiring users to edit and sort data separately, restricting dynamic display and sorting capabilities.
Innovation Solution
A data display method and apparatus that allows users to input table generation requests, select display forms, and sort data in real-time using a user interface, enabling the creation and re-sorting of hierarchical and repetition tables without stopping the system, using a control unit to manage and display the data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If data is displayed in a predetermined tabular form with separate editing, then data can be organized in a fixed structure, but new tabular forms cannot be generated while the system is operating and users cannot dynamically change display forms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic table generation that allows users to create and modify tabular forms during system operation. The control unit receives table generation requests and dynamically constructs tables based on user input parameters, enabling the display structure to adapt in real-time without requiring system shutdown or separate editing processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables users to independently generate and customize tabular forms through direct interface interaction. Users can specify table parameters, select data fields, and configure display formats without requiring administrative intervention or separate editing sessions, making the table generation process self-service and immediately executable.
2Ease of operation
If users separately edit reference data to match predetermined tabular forms, then data can be organized according to fixed structures, but users cannot easily change or add display forms during system operation
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit pre-processes and stores data in a standardized format that can be quickly retrieved and formatted into various tabular structures. When a user requests a table, the system already has the necessary data prepared and organized, enabling rapid table generation without requiring users to manually edit or reconstruct data from scratch.
Solution Approach 2:
The system allows users to modify table parameters such as column selections, sorting criteria, and display formats through simple interface interactions. The control unit responds to parameter changes by automatically regenerating the table with updated specifications, enabling users to easily experiment with different display forms without time-consuming manual editing.
3Adaptability or versatility
If data sorting is performed only when generating new tables, then data can be organized according to user convenience, but dynamic re-sorting of displayed data is impossible
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements real-time feedback between user sorting requests and table display. When users specify sorting criteria through the interface, the control unit processes the request and immediately updates the table display to reflect the new sorting order. This continuous feedback loop enables dynamic re-sorting without requiring table regeneration or complex multi-step processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables dynamic re-sorting of displayed data by allowing users to change sorting criteria at any time during system operation. The control unit monitors for sorting requests and automatically reorganizes the displayed table data according to the new criteria, making the sorting function flexible and responsive to user needs without fixed timing constraints.
