Device Maintenance Display Segmentation for Customizable Reporting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current device maintenance apparatuses struggle to easily output desired device information, often requiring separate downloads and manual processing of device information for history and maintenance reports.
Innovation Solution
The device maintenance apparatus is designed to display and generate screens based on first and second device information, allowing for customizable display and report generation, including rearrangement of parameters by identification or maintenance items, enabling easy output of desired information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If device information is displayed using pre-established history information and maintenance information screens, then the display structure is simple and stable, but it is impossible to output customized device information corresponding to specific maintenance needs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments device information into multiple categories including history information, maintenance information, and specification information. Each category can be independently selected and processed, allowing customized output without requiring complete reprocessing of all data. This segmentation enables the system to provide adaptability while maintaining manageable complexity through modular information handling.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary processing of device information by pre-establishing multiple information categories and their corresponding display screens before actual maintenance operations. This preliminary organization allows the system to quickly respond to different maintenance needs by simply selecting from pre-prepared information sets, rather than processing raw data in real-time, thus balancing adaptability with system simplicity.
2Productivity
If separate downloads and manual processing are performed for each device information, then complete and accurate information can be obtained, but the maintenance process becomes time-consuming and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple device information categories (history information, maintenance information, specification information) into a unified display system. Instead of requiring separate downloads and manual processing for each information type, the system integrates them into a single coordinated interface where all information can be accessed and processed together, significantly improving productivity while reducing the time loss associated with sequential manual operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal display system that can handle multiple types of device information through a single integrated interface. The display unit is designed to universally present history information, maintenance information, and specification information without requiring separate processing workflows, thereby enhancing efficiency and eliminating the time-consuming manual processing of individual information sets.
3Ease of operation
If all device information is displayed on a single comprehensive screen, then complete information is available, but the display becomes cluttered and difficult to navigate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments device information into distinct categories (history information, maintenance information, specification information) with dedicated display screens for each category. This segmentation allows operators to navigate to specific information types as needed, making the system easier to operate while preserving complete information availability through organized, accessible categories rather than cluttered single-screen displays.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent organizes device information across multiple dimensional layers - different information categories are arranged in separate display screens that can be accessed through a structured navigation system. This dimensional organization transforms the information presentation from a flat, cluttered single screen into a multi-layered hierarchical structure, improving ease of navigation while maintaining complete information accessibility through systematic access paths.

AI summary
A device maintenance apparatus has a display, in which the display displays a first screen generated based on first device information of a maintenance-target device, a second screen generated based on second device information of the device, and a third screen generated based on the first device information and the second device information.
