Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional digital cameras face difficulties in temporarily stopping frame advancing at a desired image during fast-forward or rewind display, requiring manual operation to display the correct image.

Innovation Solution

An image display device with a controlling unit that manages high-speed frame advancing and stopping operations, allowing frame images to be displayed in a predetermined order and reversing the order when stopping, enabling easier visualization and automatic restart of high-speed frame advancing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If high-speed frame advancing display is carried out to quickly browse through images, then productivity of image browsing is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates because it is difficult to stop at a desired image

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage browsing speedVSAvoidability to stop at desired image
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

When the stopping operation is carried out during high-speed frame advancing display, the frame advancing is reversed in the opposite direction. This inversion principle allows the system to automatically return to the desired image by reversing the browsing direction, eliminating the need for manual frame-by-frame navigation and improving ease of operation while maintaining high-speed browsing capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

2Manufacturing precision

If manual operation is required to display the correct image after stopping frame advancing, then manufacturing precision is improved (accurate image selection), but loss of time increases due to additional manual steps

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage selection accuracyVSAvoidtime for manual operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically reversing frame advancing when the stopping operation is detected. Instead of requiring manual intervention to navigate back to the desired image, the system autonomously reverses the browsing direction and displays images in reverse order, thereby eliminating additional manual steps and reducing time loss while maintaining accurate image selection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

An image display device has a function that displays plural frame images by high-speed frame advancing, and includes: an operation portion for a high-speed frame advancing display operation for carrying out high-speed frame advancing display, and a stopping operation for stopping high-speed frame advancing; and a controlling unit controlling a display unit such that, when the high-speed frame advancing display operation is carried out, plural frame images are displayed at the display unit in a predetermined frame advancing order. The controlling unit controls the display unit such that, when the stopping operation is carried out, the high-speed frame advancing is stopped and frame images that were displayed are displayed at the display unit again by frame advancing in a reverse order that is opposite the frame advancing order.
