Input Display System Prioritizing Auxiliary Information
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
User interfaces for inputting information into multiple fields on a screen often lack user-friendliness, leading to reduced operator processing efficiency due to difficulties in determining the next field for input and the content to be entered, especially for operators with varying proficiency levels.
Innovation Solution
An input display system that calculates an action analysis index value for each field based on operator actions and displays auxiliary information only for the field with the highest priority, guiding the operator on the next field for input and providing annotations to support content determination, thereby enhancing processing efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If auxiliary information is displayed for all fields, then operators receive complete guidance, but the screen becomes cluttered and operator focus is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments auxiliary information display by field priority, showing detailed guidance only for the most important field (highest priority) while providing minimal or no guidance for other fields. This segmentation allows the system to provide comprehensive guidance where needed while avoiding screen clutter in other areas.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by providing different levels of auxiliary information guidance to different fields based on their priority. The highest priority field receives full auxiliary information display, while lower priority fields receive reduced or no guidance, creating localized information density matched to operational importance.
2Adaptability or versatility
If auxiliary information is displayed for all fields, then operators with low proficiency receive sufficient guidance, but processing efficiency is reduced due to information overload
Solution Approach 1:
The patent dynamically adjusts the amount of auxiliary information displayed based on real-time analysis of operator actions and field priority. The system adapts the guidance level from comprehensive to minimal based on operational context, allowing efficient processing when operators are experienced while providing guidance when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of information display quantity based on field priority and operator behavior patterns. By adjusting the auxiliary information display parameter dynamically, the system optimizes processing efficiency while maintaining adaptability to different operator proficiency levels.
3Ease of operation
If the system analyzes operator actions to determine proficiency level, then auxiliary information can be tailored, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by having the system automatically analyze operator actions and determine proficiency levels without manual input or configuration. The system serves itself by autonomously collecting action data, analyzing patterns, and adjusting guidance accordingly, reducing the need for complex manual setup while providing personalized guidance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses feedback mechanisms where operator actions are continuously monitored and analyzed to adjust auxiliary information display. This feedback loop allows the system to learn from operator behavior and adapt guidance in real-time, providing personalized support while managing complexity through automated feedback processing.

AI summary
An input display system displays auxiliary information on a screen when a plurality of predetermined fields are displayed on the screen, and information according to a predetermined rule is input into the field by an operator, the auxiliary information being for supporting an input action of the operator. The input display system includes a memory and a processor configured to calculate an action analysis index value of each of a plurality of action analysis indices having set priorities, based on action information indicating an action performed on an input device used to input information on the screen by the operator, determine whether or not the corresponding auxiliary information is a display candidate, by comparing the action analysis index value to a predetermined threshold value for each of the plurality of action analysis indices, and display on the screen only the auxiliary information corresponding to one action analysis index having a highest priority among one or more action analysis indices related to the display candidate.
