Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for evaluating the operation situation of control objects, such as plants, are inefficient in streamlining the process of selecting an appropriate evaluation model, as they require trial and error in adjusting parameters and comparing multiple models.

Innovation Solution

A display device and evaluation system that allows for the selectable display of multiple evaluation models, with their evaluation results, and enables setting of evaluation references and periods, facilitating efficient selection and comparison of models.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If multiple evaluation models are compared through trial and error, then the accuracy of model selection is improved, but the time and complexity of the selection process increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel selection accuracyVSAvoidmodel selection time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the model comparison process by displaying multiple evaluation models simultaneously in separate display areas, allowing workers to compare models in parallel rather than sequentially through trial and error, thus reducing selection time while maintaining accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates visual copies of multiple evaluation models and their results on the display screen, enabling workers to compare different models without repeatedly running trials, thereby reducing the time and computational resources required for model selection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Productivity

If multiple evaluation models are displayed simultaneously, then the efficiency of model comparison is improved, but the display complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel comparison efficiencyVSAvoiddisplay system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the display into multiple separate display areas, with each area dedicated to showing a specific evaluation model and its results. This segmentation allows efficient comparison of multiple models while maintaining organized, manageable display structures that do not overwhelm the user

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal display framework that can accommodate multiple different evaluation models simultaneously using the same display structure and interface, allowing the system to handle various models without requiring separate complex display mechanisms for each

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