Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices with touch-screen displays are not suitable for business situations, as they lack functionality for easily reshaping or editing handwritten documents, which are commonly used in such contexts.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a touch-screen display that stores handwritten documents as time-series information, allowing for editing and reshaping functions, including the ability to transmit selected parts to a cloud server system for conversion into electronic document formats, enabling easy manipulation and conversion of handwritten data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If existing electronic devices with touch-screen displays are used, then basic input operations are facilitated, but functionality for editing and reshaping handwritten documents is lacking
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic device integrates multiple functions including touch-screen display for input, handwritten document storage as time-series information, editing functions, reshaping functions, and cloud server communication. This multi-functional design allows the device to serve both basic input operations and advanced document processing needs, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and adaptability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If handwritten documents are stored as time-series information, then editing and reshaping become possible, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the handwritten document processing into distinct functional modules: time-series information storage, editing function unit, reshaping function unit, and cloud server communication. This segmentation allows complex functionality to be managed through modular components, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a cloud server system as an intermediary to handle complex processing tasks. The electronic device stores handwritten documents as time-series information locally, but delegates complex editing and reshaping operations to the cloud server, thereby reducing the complexity requirements of the device itself while maintaining high adaptability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If cloud server system is integrated for document conversion, then conversion capability is enhanced, but loss of time occurs during transmission and processing
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by storing handwritten documents as time-series information in the electronic device before transmission to the cloud server. This pre-processing and local storage capability allows for faster subsequent operations and reduces the time required for transmission and processing, as the data is already prepared in an optimized format.
Data Source
AI summary
According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes a display processor, a transmitter and a receiver. The display processor displays on a screen a handwritten document including a plurality of strokes described by handwriting. The transmitter transmits to a system a handwritten part designated by a select range on the screen. The receiver receives from the system a reshaping result corresponding to the handwritten part. The display processor displays the reshaping result on the screen, the reshaping result and the handwritten part associated with each other.
