Editing Device Character Size Adjustment Reference Reduction Rate
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Web content delivery servers face issues in maintaining a balanced layout of character strings due to varying character conversion magnifications across segments, leading to degraded appearance quality.
Innovation Solution
An editing device with a storage system and an adjuster that determines a reference reduction rate for character sizes across blocks, adjusting them uniformly to maintain layout balance by selecting from predefined adjustment methods like Width Adjustment, Big Character, and Font Size, ensuring consistent reduction rates.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If character conversion magnification is adjusted for each segment of character strings, then character size can be optimized for readability, but layout balance is degraded due to mixed character sizes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameter of character conversion magnification from being segment-specific to being uniformly applied across all segments. By introducing a reference reduction rate that is calculated based on the segment with the smallest reduction rate, and applying this uniform rate to all other segments, the system maintains layout balance while still achieving character size optimization. This resolves the contradiction by changing the magnification parameter from variable to uniform.
2Manufacturing precision
If character sizes are adjusted differently for each segment, then readability can be improved, but appearance quality is degraded due to layout imbalance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies a uniform character conversion magnification parameter across all segments based on the reference reduction rate. This ensures that while character sizes are adjusted for readability, the uniform application maintains appearance quality by preventing layout imbalance. The reference reduction rate is determined by calculating the smallest reduction rate among all segments and applying it universally.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple adjustment methods are provided for character size, then versatility is improved, but device complexity increases due to multiple size information sets
Solution Approach 1:
The patent provides multiple adjustment methods (Font Size, Width Adjustment, Big Character) that can be universally applied to all segments of character strings. Each method offers different approaches to character size adjustment, but they all operate on the same uniform principle of using a reference reduction rate. This multi-functionality approach increases versatility while managing complexity by providing standardized adjustment mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent manages the complexity of multiple adjustment methods by standardizing the parameter application. Regardless of which adjustment method is selected, the system calculates a reference reduction rate and applies it uniformly across all segments. This parameter standardization simplifies the management of multiple adjustment methods while maintaining their versatility.

AI summary
An editing device includes an adjuster configured to, with respect to a specific one of adjustment methods for each of blocks, determine a reduction rate at which a character size specified by setting size information associated with the specific adjustment method is reduced when the setting size information is changed to size information specifying a character size one-level smaller than the setting size information, among a plurality of pieces of size information associated with the specific adjustment method for each block in adjustment information, identify, as a reference reduction rate, a smallest one of the determined reduction rates for the character sizes each specified by the setting size information associated with the specific adjustment method for a corresponding block, and adjust the character size of one or more characters in each block with a specific reduction rate equal or approximated to the identified reference reduction rate.
