Process Display System Selective Update Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Display terminals used in process management systems, such as those employing augmented, virtual, or mixed reality, face resource limitations that lead to slow performance when updating information frequently, making it difficult to manage processes smoothly due to the need for real-time updates of process information.
Innovation Solution
A process display system where the decision to update the display is based on the change level of process information, with the process management apparatus or display terminal determining whether to transmit updated information, reducing unnecessary updates and optimizing resource usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the display terminal updates information in synchronization with information acquirement regardless of whether the process information is changed, then the information display is kept up-to-date, but the display terminal operates slowly due to limited resources and frequent updates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs display updates selectively rather than completely. The notification manager determines whether to trigger a display update based on change level assessment, performing only necessary updates rather than updating all information every time data is acquired, thus reducing unnecessary processing while maintaining information accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter of update frequency based on the change level of process information. When the change level is below a threshold, updates are suppressed; when above the threshold, updates are triggered. This dynamic parameter adjustment optimizes resource usage while maintaining display reliability.
2Loss of time
If the display terminal updates display frequently to reflect real-time process changes, then the process management information is current, but the limited resources of the display terminal are overwhelmed
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of continuous updating, the system uses periodic assessment of change levels. The notification manager periodically evaluates whether process information has changed significantly enough to warrant a display update, creating a rhythm of selective updates that conserves resources while maintaining information freshness when necessary.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback through change level assessment. The notification manager receives information about process changes, evaluates the change level against thresholds, and provides feedback by determining whether to trigger an update. This feedback mechanism ensures updates occur only when meaningful changes happen, balancing information freshness with resource conservation.

AI summary
A process display system includes a display terminal including a first processor and a process management system that includes a second processor and that communicates with the display terminal. The first processor or the second processor performs control of whether to update display of process information regarding a process. The process information is displayed by the display terminal. The control is performed on a basis of a change level of the process information on the display terminal.
