Inspection Record Apparatus Color Change Confirmation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing inspection methods fail to ensure all portions of a subject are confirmed during inspection, leading to unconfirmed damage being left behind, especially for subjects with extensive areas to be inspected.
Innovation Solution
An inspection record apparatus and method that includes a display unit, memory unit, detection unit, and changing unit to store and display inspection data, allowing users to confirm and visually differentiate confirmed damage through color changes and list associations, ensuring thorough confirmation of damage states.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the simple method of determining whether the measured confirmation time exceeds a certain period of time is used, then the inspection process is simple and quick, but portions to be inspected that are not confirmed are left behind
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies color changes to visually distinguish confirmed from unconfirmed damaged states. The display control unit changes the display color of damaged state information based on confirmation status, allowing inspectors to quickly identify which portions require confirmation without adding significant time to the inspection process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the display parameter (color) of damaged state information based on confirmation status. This visual parameter change helps inspectors track confirmed versus unconfirmed portions, improving reliability without significantly impacting inspection speed.
2Reliability
If inspection record data with confirmation status is stored and displayed, then confirmation completeness is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the confirmation status information with the existing damaged state information in the same display interface. The display control unit integrates confirmation status display with damaged state display, showing both pieces of information together rather than requiring separate systems or interfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The display control unit performs multiple functions: it displays damaged state information, shows confirmation status, and changes display colors based on confirmation state. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional dedicated components, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity.
3Ease of operation
If the display color of damaged state information is changed based on operation detection, then ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display control unit automatically changes the display color based on detected operations without requiring additional user actions. When the detection unit detects an operation on damaged state information, the display control unit autonomously adjusts the display color to indicate confirmation status, making the system self-adjusting rather than requiring manual control.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by detecting user operations and immediately reflecting the confirmation status through color changes. The detection unit monitors user interactions and provides feedback to the display control unit, which then updates the visual display to confirm the operation result, creating a closed-loop feedback mechanism that enhances usability.

AI summary
An inspection record apparatus includes: a display unit; a memory unit configured to store inspection record data including image information concerning a subject and information concerning a damaged state of the subject, and information indicating whether the information concerning the damaged state is in a confirmed status or not; a display control unit configured to read the inspection record data to develop the information concerning the damaged state on an image corresponding to the image information, and display the resultant image onto the display unit; a detection unit configured to detect an operation for the information concerning the damaged state; a storage unit configured to store the information indicating that the information concerning the damaged state is in the confirmed status into the memory unit; and a changing unit configured to change a display manner of the information concerning the damaged state.
