Physiological Trend Display Using Overlaid Arrow Visualizations
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems struggle to intuitively and accurately grasp the change tendency of physiological information over time, making it difficult to assess a subject's condition accurately.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device and method that generates and displays multiple pieces of change tendency information side by side or overlapped, using arrow-shaped figures to visually represent changes in physiological data, aiding in intuitive understanding.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If physiological information is displayed in traditional formats, then the information is presented clearly, but the change tendency is difficult to grasp immediately
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses color-coded arrow symbols to represent different change tendencies (e.g., upward arrows for increase, downward arrows for decrease, horizontal arrows for no change). This visual encoding allows medical workers to immediately grasp the change tendency of physiological information without needing to analyze numerical data, thereby improving recognition accuracy and reducing the time required to assess patient conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms one-dimensional numerical physiological data into two-dimensional visual representations by displaying arrow symbols with different orientations (upward, downward, horizontal) and potentially different lengths. This dimensional transformation enables intuitive perception of change tendencies that would be difficult to discern from raw numerical values alone.
2Measurement precision
If multiple pieces of change tendency information are displayed, then the change tendency can be grasped more accurately, but the display becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments change tendency information into distinct visual components (arrow symbols with specific orientations) that can be displayed independently. By dividing the information into discrete, standardized visual elements representing different change tendencies (increase, decrease, no change), the system can present multiple pieces of information without creating a complex overall structure, as each segment follows a consistent visual pattern.

AI summary
An information processing device includes at least one processor, and one or more memories configured to store at least one instruction to be executed by the at least one processor. When the at least one instruction is executed by the processor, the information processing device is configured to generate, based on physiological information on a subject, a plurality of pieces of change tendency information indicating a change tendency of the physiological information during one period or a change tendency of the physiological information from one period to an other period, and generate display data in which the plurality of pieces of change tendency information are displayed side by side or the plurality of pieces of change tendency information are displayed so as to be overlapped with each other.
