Solution Overview

Problem

Existing information editing and displaying systems struggle to seamlessly integrate network-obtained information into the editing process, as information retrieved for reference cannot be easily used as data for editing.

Innovation Solution

An information editing and displaying device with separate editing and reference screen areas, where user input is processed to send search requests to a server, allowing identified information to be displayed and taken into the editing area for use, with time information facilitating the organization and integration of search results.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If information is displayed in a separate reference window for reference, then the user can refer to the information, but the information cannot be easily used as data for editing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of using reference information for editingVSAvoidcomplexity of information integration system
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the reference information display function with the editing screen by allowing search results to be displayed within the same window area. The search result display unit presents retrieved information in the editing screen area, and the take-in instruction receiving unit enables users to directly incorporate this information into the edited data, eliminating the need for separate reference windows and simplifying the integration process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism through the take-in instruction receiving unit and information transferring means. This intermediary allows seamless transfer of search results from the reference display to the editing data, acting as a bridge that connects the reference function with the editing function without requiring complex manual copy-paste operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If multiple windows are used to display reference information and editing data, then both can be displayed simultaneously, but the operation becomes more complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveediting efficiencyVSAvoidtime for switching between windows
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the reference information display and editing data display into a single integrated screen area. The search result display unit presents information within the editing screen area, eliminating the need to switch between multiple windows and reducing the time lost for window management while maintaining simultaneous display of both reference and editing content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Manufacturing precision

If search results are displayed without time information, then the display is simpler, but the information cannot be easily organized chronologically for personal history creation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvechronological organization accuracyVSAvoidcomplexity of search result processing
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by having the search result display unit automatically attach and organize time information with search results before they are presented to the user. The time information is pre-processed and integrated with the search results, enabling chronological organization to be performed automatically without requiring complex manual sorting operations from the user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
