Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a conventional parameter adjusting interface is used for development parameters, then the interface is simple in structure, but the ease of operation deteriorates because ordinary users cannot intuitively recognize parameter changes or easily revert them
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the conventional one-dimensional parameter adjustment interface into a two-dimensional visual interface by introducing number lines as a new dimension. Each development parameter is represented on a separate number line, allowing users to visually perceive parameter values and changes spatially. This dimensional expansion enables ordinary users to intuitively understand parameter settings without complex interface elements.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates visual copies of parameter information through number lines and markers. Instead of displaying abstract numerical values, the system generates visual representations (markers positioned on number lines) that copy and represent the parameter states. This visual copying allows users to immediately recognize parameter changes and their magnitudes without interpreting numerical data.
2Reliability
If development parameters are changed to improve image quality, then the image quality can be optimized, but the loss of time increases because users cannot quickly revert changes when results are undesirable
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements immediate visual feedback by displaying markers on number lines that automatically update when parameters change. Users can instantly see the magnitude and direction of parameter deviations from initial values. This continuous feedback mechanism allows users to make informed decisions about whether to keep or revert changes, significantly reducing the time needed to assess and undo undesirable parameter modifications.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary visualization of parameter states by displaying number lines with markers positioned at initial parameter values before any user adjustments are made. This preliminary visual setup establishes a clear reference point, allowing users to immediately recognize any subsequent parameter changes and facilitating quick reversion to initial states if needed.
Data Source
AI summary
There is provided a development processing device that develops undeveloped image data. The development processing device includes a change screen displaying unit displays a first number line corresponding to a first initial parameter, a second number line corresponding to a second initial parameter, a reference line that intersects the first number line in a position corresponding to the first initial parameter and intersects the second number line in a position corresponding to the second initial parameter, a first marker that represents a position corresponding to the first user parameter on the first number line, and a second marker that represents a position corresponding to the second user parameter on the second number line on the parameter changing screen, and the development processing unit performs the development process based on at least the first user parameter and the second user parameter.
