Superimposing Power Equipment State on Area Characteristic Maps
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current area characteristic display devices fail to effectively display the state distribution of power equipment along with environmental area characteristics on a map, hindering the evaluation and determination of design criteria for power equipment.
Innovation Solution
An area characteristic display device that includes an inputter for receiving information on equipment state and position, and a display controller to superimpose state and area characteristic data, such as roughness length, on a map, enabling easy comparison and evaluation of power equipment design criteria.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If state detection device displays only equipment state without area characteristics, then display simplicity is maintained, but evaluation determination of design criterion cannot be performed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges equipment state information and area characteristic information into a single integrated display system. The map display unit superimposes both types of data on the same map interface, allowing simultaneous visualization without requiring separate display systems. This combining approach prevents information loss while managing complexity through unified presentation.
Solution Approach 2:
The display system is designed to perform multiple functions: displaying equipment state, displaying area characteristics, and enabling evaluation determination. By making the display system universal and multi-functional, it can handle diverse information types without proportionally increasing complexity, as the same interface serves multiple purposes.
2Loss of information
If multiple types of data are displayed separately, then information completeness is improved, but ease of comparison and evaluation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple data types (equipment state and area characteristics) into a single integrated map display. Both datasets are superimposed on the same geographical map, allowing users to view complete information while easily comparing equipment states with their corresponding area characteristics at specific locations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses the map's spatial dimension to organize and present multiple data types. By displaying equipment state and area characteristics on the same geographical coordinate system, it creates a spatial relationship that facilitates easy comparison and evaluation without requiring separate displays or complex data switching.

AI summary
An area characteristic display device includes an inputter which receives input of information that enables identification of state and position of equipment installed outdoors, and a display controller which displays, based on the information that enables identification of the state and position that has been input to the inputter, and data on area characteristics, a distribution of the state together with the data on area characteristics, on a display with being superimposed on a map.
