Solution Overview

Problem

Users find it inconvenient to obtain a desired view of image data due to the complexity of adjusting view parameters in high-dimensional spaces, requiring manual adjustment of multiple views individually.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that allows users to interactively select and adjust one view, with the system automatically updating other views in a gallery based on the adjusted parameters, enabling simultaneous presentation of multiple views and automatic adjustment of other views to match user preferences.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If multiple views are presented simultaneously in a gallery, then the user can obtain an overview of the image data more efficiently, but the complexity of adjusting view parameters increases due to high-dimensional parameter spaces

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoverview efficiencyVSAvoidparameter adjustment complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the complex parameter adjustment task by allowing users to adjust one view at a time while automatically propagating adjustments to other views. This divides the high-dimensional parameter adjustment problem into manageable one-dimensional adjustments per view, reducing the perceived complexity for the user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically adjusting other views in the gallery before the user even completes their adjustment of the selected view. This anticipatory adjustment reduces the user's workload by eliminating the need to manually adjust each view parameter individually.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If the user manually adjusts each view parameter individually, then precise control over each view is achieved, but the time required to obtain the desired view increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveview control precisionVSAvoidview adjustment time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary adjustments of other views automatically when the user adjusts one view, eliminating the need for users to manually adjust each view parameter. This maintains precision while dramatically reducing the time required to achieve the desired view configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system serves itself by automatically adjusting other views in response to user adjustments of one view. This self-adjustment mechanism eliminates redundant manual operations while maintaining precise control over all views in the gallery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If the system provides multiple adjustment controls for different view parameters, then the user can achieve the desired view configuration, but the ease of operation decreases due to the complexity of navigating multiple parameters

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveview configuration flexibilityVSAvoidparameter navigation ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the control interface by allowing users to interact with one view at a time while the system handles the coordination of other views automatically. This segmentation maintains full configurability of all views while simplifying the user interaction model to a single可控 view.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system acts as an intermediary that translates the user's adjustment of one view into coordinated adjustments of other views. This mediator role maintains the flexibility of multiple parameter adjustments while shielding the user from the complexity of navigating all parameters simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
