Integrated Measurement Viewer for Feature Set Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing integrated viewers for multiple measurements complicate the selection of feature amounts for specific analyses, leading to decreased user convenience and efficiency in cross-sectional analysis systems.
Innovation Solution
An integrated viewer that includes a storage unit for feature amounts, a display control unit for selectable feature amount types, and a registration unit for user-defined sets, allowing side-by-side display of feature amounts by analyzer type.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a wide variety of feature amounts are made available for selection, then the analysis capability and versatility are improved, but the operation complexity and user convenience deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the feature amounts by analyzer type, organizing them into distinct categories (e.g., X-ray fluorescence analyzer features, atomic absorption photometer features). This segmentation allows users to navigate the vast number of feature amounts systematically rather than facing a chaotic list, thereby maintaining versatility while improving operability through structured organization
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by automatically acquiring and pre-organizing feature amounts from multiple analyzers before the user needs to perform analysis. The system proactively collects measurement data and extracts relevant features, so when the user opens the application, the data is already prepared and categorized, eliminating the need for users to manually configure or search through raw data
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple feature amounts from different analyzers are displayed together, then the cross-sectional analysis capability is improved, but the display complexity and information overload increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display interface into analyzer-specific sections, with each analyzer having its own dedicated display area. This segmentation allows the system to present multiple analyzers' data simultaneously while keeping each section organized and manageable, preventing information overload by isolating related data together
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a universal display framework that can accommodate multiple analyzer types through a consistent interface design. The same basic display structure works for all analyzers, with each analyzer's features adapted to its specific characteristics. This multi-functional display system maintains simplicity while supporting complex cross-sectional analysis across different measurement types

AI summary
An integrated viewer for multiple measurements according to a first aspect includes: a storage unit that stores, for each of a plurality of types of analyzers, a type of a feature amount obtained from a measurement result of the analyzer; a display control unit that displays types of feature amounts stored in the storage unit on a display screen in a selectable manner; and a registration unit that names and registers a set of types of feature amounts selected by an operator among the types of the feature amounts. The display control unit displays, side by side on the display screen, a first display region in which the type of the feature amount is displayed in a tab for each type of the analyzers and a second display region in which the set of types of the feature amounts selected by the operator is displayed.
