Gratitude Flow Display Using Moving Nodes and Visual Chains
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies lack a method to effectively visualize and promote the connection of gratitude or intentions between individuals, which is crucial for fostering a society built on kindness and mutual support.
Innovation Solution
A display control method that visualizes gratitude or intention connections by representing individuals as nodes on a display device and using moving lines to depict the flow of gratitude or intentions between them.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If gratitude information is transmitted between individuals, then social connection and motivation for kindness are improved, but the complexity of tracking and managing gratitude chains increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses visual copies (display images) of gratitude information to represent actual gratitude transmissions. Instead of tracking complex data structures, the system creates visual representations that can be displayed and manipulated, simplifying the tracking mechanism while maintaining the ability to follow gratitude chains through intuitive visual cues.
Solution Approach 2:
The display device serves as an intermediary between the complex gratitude tracking system and the user. It translates complex gratitude chain data into simple visual representations with movement directions, acting as a mediator that simplifies the interaction between the sophisticated backend system and the end user.
2Loss of information
If multiple gratitude transmissions are visualized simultaneously, then the connection of gratitude is better demonstrated, but the display complexity and information overload increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments multiple gratitude transmissions into individual display images, each representing a single gratitude transmission with clear source and destination. This segmentation allows multiple gratitude events to be displayed separately and sequentially, preventing information overload while maintaining complete visualization of gratitude connections.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses dynamic movement directions in display images to show the flow of gratitude over time. Instead of static displays showing all connections simultaneously, the movement directions create a dynamic sequence that reveals gratitude chains progressively, reducing visual complexity while preserving information about multiple transmissions.
3Measurement precision
If the system tracks detailed gratitude information between multiple persons, then the accuracy of gratitude chain representation is improved, but the difficulty of detecting and measuring gratitude increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential elements needed for gratitude chain visualization (source person, destination person, transmission timing) from complex social interactions. By taking out only the critical information required for tracking gratitude flows, the system achieves accurate chain representation without the complexity of detecting and measuring all aspects of human gratitude expressions.
Data Source
AI summary
A display control method of gratitude information on a display device is provided. The gratitude information includes at least first gratitude information expressing first gratitude from a first person to a second person, and second gratitude information expressing second gratitude from the second person to a third person. The display control method includes displaying, on the display device, the first person as a first node, the second person as a second node, and the third person as a third node; and on the display device, moving a predetermined display from the first node to the second node, and then moving the predetermined display from the second node to the third node.
