Job Plan Thumbnail Update Logic for System Load Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional job plan display systems experience increased system load and inefficient thumbnail updates due to automatic updating based on design data changes, leading to unnecessary updates and potential omission of design changes in thumbnails.
Innovation Solution
A job plan display system that determines whether to display or update thumbnails based on the designer's intention, predetermined update times, progress information, and relationship between changing design data parts, using viewpoint coordinates to create thumbnails only when necessary, thereby optimizing thumbnail display timing and reducing system load.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the component thumbnail is automatically updated whenever design data is saved or updated, then the thumbnail reflects the latest design data, but the system load increases and unnecessary updates occur when design data changes do not affect the thumbnail
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameter of thumbnail update timing from automatic updates on every design data save to conditional updates based on specific criteria (designer intention, predetermined update times, progress information, and relationship between changing parts and viewpoint coordinates). This selective update approach maintains thumbnail accuracy while reducing unnecessary system load.
2Loss of information
If the thumbnail is updated based on any design data change, then the thumbnail is always current, but updates occur even when design changes are not visible in the thumbnail view
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by determining whether design data changes affect the specific viewpoint coordinates of the thumbnail. Only changes that are visible or relevant to the thumbnail's viewpoint trigger an update, rather than updating for all design data changes. This ensures design change visibility is maintained while improving update efficiency.
3Measurement precision
If thumbnails are updated frequently to reflect design changes, then operators have accurate job plan information, but system resources are consumed unnecessarily
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic action by updating thumbnails at predetermined update times and based on progress information rather than continuously or on every design data change. This periodic update approach ensures operators receive accurate job plan information at appropriate intervals while conserving system resources.

AI summary
Provided is a job plan display system capable of displaying a job plan on a product, and displaying a thumbnail as image information on the product on a display area of the job plan based on design data of the product, allowing an appropriate thumbnail to be displayed while suppressing an increase in system load. The job plan display system is configured to determine whether or not to display or update the thumbnail on a display area of the job plan based on at least one of intention of a designer who created the design data, such intention being assigned to the design data of the product, a predetermined update time, progress information on the design data created and a relationship between a changing part of the design data when the design data is changed and viewpoint coordinates when creating the thumbnail.
