Multi-Unit Process Data Display With Temporal Correlation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional systems fail to provide a temporal correlation of measurement data from different biological, biochemical, chemical, and physical processes, making it difficult to analyze and control these processes effectively, especially when multiple processes are running concurrently in different units at various absolute times.
Innovation Solution
A computer system comprising at least two units with sensors and a display unit that allows for the temporal correlation of measurement data from multiple processes, enabling the display of data in a manner that reveals relationships between the processes, regardless of the absolute time of capture, through a detection unit that recognizes and displays temporal correlations, and a control module that synchronizes and regulates the processes.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If measurement data from multiple units are displayed independently with absolute time stamps, then each unit's data can be displayed accurately, but temporal correlation between different units cannot be established
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a new temporal dimension for data display by decoupling the display time axis from the absolute capture time. Measurement data from different units are projected onto a common relative time scale that preserves causal relationships and temporal correlations, allowing visualization of process sequences across multiple units without being constrained by absolute time stamps.
2Ease of operation
If processes in different units are monitored separately, then each process can be controlled independently, but overall process optimization and coordination are difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The display unit serves multiple functions simultaneously: it independently displays data from each unit while also providing integrated temporal correlation visualization. This multi-functionality allows operators to monitor individual processes separately for easy control while also observing their temporal relationships for overall optimization, eliminating the need for separate monitoring systems.
3Speed
If real-time display of measurement data is implemented, then current process state can be monitored, but historical comparison and trend analysis across different batches are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a virtual copy of the temporal structure by projecting measurement data onto a standardized time axis that represents process phases rather than absolute time. This copying approach preserves the temporal patterns and relationships from different batches and units, enabling historical comparison and trend analysis while maintaining real-time monitoring capabilities through the unified display interface.
