Portable Console Displaying Optical Images Larger Than Radiation Images
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Portable console devices used in veterinary clinics and emergency medicine face challenges in effectively displaying optical images for identity verification due to their small size, leading to potential misidentification of patients or animals.
Innovation Solution
A portable console device with a touchscreen display unit that displays optical images in a larger size than radiation images, along with a user menu structure, to improve visual recognition and prevent errors in identification.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a portable console device with small display is used, then portability and ease of operation are improved, but visual recognition of optical images for identification deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from a small portable display to a large flat-panel display, fundamentally changing the display dimension. This allows optical images to be shown at a size that enables accurate visual recognition while maintaining the portable console design, thus resolving the contradiction between portability and visual recognition accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the display size parameter from small (portable) to large (flat panel). This parameter change enables optical images to be displayed at sufficient resolution and size for accurate identification, while the console itself remains portable through the use of modern flat-panel technology.
2Productivity
If optical images are displayed in small size on portable console, then device portability is maintained, but identification accuracy and reliability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
By transitioning to a large flat-panel display, the system enables accurate visual recognition of optical images without sacrificing portability. This resolves the contradiction between operational efficiency and identification accuracy, as users can now reliably verify patient/animal identity while maintaining portable operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The display size parameter is changed from small to large, which directly improves identification accuracy and reliability. The portable console design is maintained through the use of modern flat-panel technology, thus resolving the contradiction between productivity and reliability.
3Loss of information
If multiple images and menu structures are displayed simultaneously, then comprehensive information is provided, but visual clarity and recognition of optical images deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The large flat-panel display provides sufficient screen real estate to display multiple images and menu structures simultaneously without compromising the visual clarity of optical images. This resolves the contradiction between information completeness and visual recognition clarity.

AI summary
A radiographic imaging system includes a radiographic imaging device for creating a radiation image of a body. A console device of a portable type acquires the radiation image. The console device includes a display controller for performing display processing to display the radiation image in a user page on a display unit. The display controller performs display processing to display at least one optical image of the body in the user page on the display unit in a larger size than the radiation image. Preferably, the display unit includes a touchscreen display unit having a longer side equal to or less than 260 mm and a shorter side equal to or less than 180 mm, in a form of a tablet terminal device.
