Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

In existing systems for remotely monitoring multiple mobile bodies, changes in the display of mobile body information items lead to positional rearrangement, increasing operator burden as they need to re-identify the items' positions.

Innovation Solution

An information processing method that retains the relative positional relationship of mobile body information items before and after changes in display, ensuring consistent positioning even with alterations in the display layout or number of areas.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the display of mobile body information items is changed to improve adaptability, then the adaptability or versatility is improved, but the positional relationship stability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedisplay adaptabilityVSAvoidpositional relationship stability

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-establishes a mapping relationship between mobile body information items and display areas before any display changes occur. When display reconfiguration is needed, this pre-established mapping allows the system to maintain the association between specific information items and their original display positions, enabling display adaptability while preserving positional stability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates and maintains a copy of the mapping relationship data that records which mobile body information item corresponds to which display area. This copy allows the display system to be reconfigured without losing the original positional associations, enabling both display flexibility and positional relationship preservation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying

2Ease of operation

If display changes are made to improve ease of operation, then specific display needs are better met, but operator burden increases due to re-identification

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedisplay customizationVSAvoidoperator time for re-identification

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system maintains a persistent mapping copy that records the relationship between mobile body information items and display areas. This copy enables the display to be customized according to operator needs while automatically preserving the positional information, eliminating the need for operators to re-identify item positions after display changes.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically manages the mapping relationships and positional information without requiring operator intervention. When display changes occur, the system self-adjusts while maintaining the recorded mappings, allowing operators to benefit from display customization without bearing the burden of re-identification.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

An information processing method is to be executed by a computer, and includes: obtaining mobile body information items respectively related to mobile bodies; causing a display device to display the mobile body information items obtained; and retaining, when the display of the mobile body information items on the display device is changed, a relative positional relationship of one or more mobile body information items displayed on the display device both before and after the change.
