Information Processing System File Comparison Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing systems fail to enable effective comparison of files between different screens, as switching screens causes previously displayed file images to be hidden, making it difficult to compare files across screens.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that allows for the display of enlarged file images side by side on the same screen, with the option to maintain the display of corresponding images even after screen switching, and adjusts the display position of enlarged images based on the presence or absence of corresponding images on the screen.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the display screen is switched to another display screen, then the currently displayed file image is replaced with new content, but the previously displayed file image becomes hidden and cannot be compared with the new file image
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a copy of the previously displayed file image and displays it alongside the new file image. This allows the original file image to be preserved and compared with the new one without preventing screen switching. The copy mechanism ensures that information is not lost during screen transitions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a single-dimensional display (one file image at a time) to a two-dimensional display arrangement (multiple file images side by side). This dimensional change allows multiple file images to coexist on the same screen, enabling comparison while maintaining screen switching functionality.
2Measurement precision
If an enlarged image is displayed when a file image is selected, then the file details become more visible, but the display space for other content is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent utilizes the second dimension of the display screen to accommodate both the original file image and the enlarged image simultaneously. Instead of expanding the enlarged image to fill the entire screen (which would reduce display space), it positions the enlarged image in a way that preserves both detailed view and overall context.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different display qualities to different regions: the enlarged image provides high detail (high measurement precision) in a specific local area, while the rest of the screen maintains the overview of multiple files. This local quality approach ensures detailed visibility without completely sacrificing display space for other content.
3Ease of operation
If multiple file images are displayed side by side for comparison, then file comparison becomes easier, but the display layout becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display screen into distinct regions, with each region dedicated to displaying a specific file image. This segmentation approach organizes multiple file images in a structured manner, making comparison easier while maintaining a manageable display layout through clear spatial separation.

AI summary
An information processing system includes a processor configured to: display a display image including a file image on a display, the file image being an image corresponding to a file, and also switch displaying of the display in response to an instruction so as to display another display image including a file image on the display; display an enlarged image on the display in response to a file image being selected among the file images included in the corresponding display images displayed on the display, the enlarged image being an image associated with the selected file image and having a display size larger than the selected file image; and display a corresponding image on the display while a first display image is being displayed on the display, the corresponding image being an image corresponding to a file image included in a second display image, and display, in response to the corresponding image being selected, the enlarged image corresponding to the file image associated with the selected corresponding image.
