Solution Overview

Problem

Users attempting to learn complex operations on touch panel devices face difficulties in reproducing optimal scroll operations, leading to inefficient learning and setup processes.

Innovation Solution

An image display device that extracts and analyzes historical operation data to determine specific scroll operations, allowing for the reproduction of images with omitted or shortened scroll times, thereby optimizing the learning process by focusing on target operations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If all scroll operations are reproduced in detail during operation recording playback, then the reproduction accurately reflects the original operation process, but the learning efficiency decreases due to excessive display time and unnecessary scroll movements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation reproduction accuracyVSAvoidlearning time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and identifies specific scroll operations from the recorded operation sequence that are necessary for achieving the target operation result. By separating essential scroll operations from unnecessary ones, the system reproduces only the critical scroll movements, thereby reducing overall reproduction time while maintaining accuracy of the learning content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of reproducing all scroll operations as recorded, the system inverts the approach by selectively omitting scroll operations that do not contribute to reaching the target operation. This inversion allows the playback to focus on essential operations rather than faithfully reproducing every movement, thus improving learning efficiency.

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

2Reliability

If the system reproduces complete operation sequences including all scroll movements, then the original operation process is accurately reflected, but the complexity of the reproduction process increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation record completenessVSAvoidreproduction process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the essential scroll operations needed to reach the target operation from the complete recorded sequence. This extraction simplifies the reproduction process by removing redundant scroll movements while preserving the essential operation flow, thereby reducing complexity without sacrificing reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of scroll operation reproduction from 'all operations' to 'selected essential operations'. By modifying this parameter, the system achieves a balance between completeness and simplicity, reproducing only those scroll operations that are necessary for learning the target operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If unnecessary scroll operations are omitted from reproduction, then the learning efficiency improves, but the accuracy of operation reproduction may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelearning efficiencyVSAvoidoperation reproduction accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system carefully extracts and identifies which scroll operations are essential for achieving the target operation result. By making this selective extraction based on operational necessity, the system maintains reproduction accuracy for critical operations while omitting unnecessary ones, thus improving learning efficiency without compromising essential accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system modifies the reproduction parameter from 'complete fidelity' to 'essential operation fidelity'. This parameter change allows the system to prioritize the reproduction of operations that are truly necessary for learning, achieving high learning efficiency while maintaining sufficient accuracy for the target operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

An image display device reproducing an image displayed according to operations performed consecutively is provided. The device includes an extraction portion extracting, from the operations, a plurality of times of first operations to scroll through the image, and a position at which an operation is made in a display surface of an object selected from the image through second operation performed after the plurality of times of first operations; and a reproduction portion that reproduces the image in accordance with the operations in such a manner that scrolling through the image is omitted or shortened in accordance with a target operation which is any one of a specific operation and a subsequent first operation among the plurality of times of first operations. The specific operation is to scroll through the image in a manner to move the object from one side to the other side when viewed from the position.
