Grouped Radar Chart Display for Driving Evaluation Visibility
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional display control devices face visibility degradation in radar charts as the number of evaluation items increases, making it difficult to intuitively understand evaluation results.
Innovation Solution
A display control device that sets a display group based on evaluation items and generates a radar chart displaying the score rate of each display group, thereby normalizing each item and improving visibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the number of evaluation items in the radar chart is increased, then the comprehensiveness of driving evaluation is improved, but the visibility and intuitiveness of the radar chart deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the multiple evaluation items into hierarchical groups (e.g., safety, efficiency, comfort categories) and displays aggregated scores for each group on the radar chart. This segmentation allows comprehensive evaluation coverage while maintaining visual clarity by reducing the number of individual items displayed from potentially dozens to just a few key categories.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple individual evaluation items into unified display groups, where each group represents a category of related items. The radar chart then displays one aggregated score per group rather than separate scores for each individual item, merging redundant visual elements while preserving the comprehensive evaluation information.
2Loss of information
If multiple evaluation items are displayed individually on the radar chart, then the detail information is improved, but the complexity of the display increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments evaluation items into logical groups and displays aggregated scores for each segment on the radar chart. Detailed information about individual items within each group is preserved and can be accessed through interactive elements or supplementary displays, maintaining information completeness while reducing visual complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a two-dimensional display of numerous individual items to a hierarchical structure where the radar chart displays aggregated group scores in one dimension, while detailed item information is organized in additional dimensions (such as expandable sections, tooltips, or separate detailed views), reducing visual clutter while preserving detail.
Data Source
AI summary
A display control device displays a result that is provided by evaluating driving of a vehicle that is executed by a driver for each evaluation item and includes a control unit that displays, on a display device, a radar chart where a display group that includes the evaluation item is provided as an item thereof and a score rate of the display group is provided as a value of the item.
