Electric Equipment Parameter Adjustment Interface
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing electric equipment with multiple parameters for functions is difficult for users with varying levels of maintenance ability and specialized knowledge to adjust, as the operation screens require specific skills and knowledge, leading to poor operability and confusion for unskilled users.
Innovation Solution
The equipment displays multiple reception screens with different levels of detail for parameter adjustments based on user ability, including large gap and small gap input screens, number reception sections, and selection sections, allowing users to input values or select parameters according to their expertise, with user identification determining the appropriate screen display.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a single detailed operation screen is provided for parameter adjustment, then comprehensive control and precise adjustment are achieved, but operability deteriorates for users with low maintenance ability or limited specialized knowledge
Solution Approach 1:
The operation screen is segmented into multiple reception screens with different degrees of detail. A first reception screen provides simplified parameter adjustment for users with basic needs, while a second reception screen offers detailed adjustment options for users requiring precise control. This segmentation allows the system to adapt to different user expertise levels, improving ease of operation without sacrificing comprehensive control capabilities.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple detailed parameters are required for function adjustment, then functional versatility is improved, but device complexity increases making the interface harder to operate
Solution Approach 1:
The operation screen dynamically adapts its complexity based on user input and selection. The system transitions between different reception screens depending on the adjustment mode selected, allowing the interface complexity to vary dynamically rather than being fixed. This dynamic adaptation maintains versatility while managing complexity by presenting only the necessary level of detail for each user's current needs.
3Adaptability or versatility
If comprehensive parameter adjustment options are provided, then maintenance flexibility is improved, but time required for adjustment increases for simple tasks
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements partial action by providing a first reception screen that allows adjustment of only the most commonly used parameters for users with basic maintenance needs. This partial adjustment capability enables quick fixes for simple issues without requiring users to navigate through all detailed parameters. For more complex maintenance tasks, the second reception screen becomes available, ensuring that comprehensive adjustment options exist but are not required for every operation, thus reducing time loss for simple tasks.

AI summary
To provide an electric equipment which has a function in which parameter is set, and enables a user to appropriately adjust the parameters regardless of an ability level of user. A plurality of reception screens having different degrees of detail for received instructions for adjusting parameters are displayed depending on the ability level of user to adjust the appropriate parameters, such as maintenance ability, or presence or absence of the specialized knowledge for the apparatus, or the like, thus the user adjusts the parameter using the reception screen suitable for the user.
