Processing System with Type Mark Overlay for Display Clarity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing processing systems struggle to clearly distinguish and display the results of different types of processing, such as printing, cutting, hot stamping, engraving, and press marking, performed on a processing target, making it difficult for users to determine the specific processing results from a single preview image.
Innovation Solution
A processing system that includes a support table with a type mark indicating the processing type, a controller to store and acquire processing images, and a display method to overlay the captured image with the corresponding processing image, allowing users to easily identify the type of processing performed on the processing target.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single preview image is used to display all types of processing, then the display is simple, but it becomes difficult to determine which type of processing has been performed on which portion
Solution Approach 1:
The preview image is divided into multiple regions, with each region corresponding to a specific type of processing. Type marks are placed in each region to indicate the processing type, allowing users to easily identify which processing has been applied to each portion while maintaining a unified display structure.
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions of the preview image are assigned different type marks corresponding to different processing types. This allows each local region to convey specific processing information, enabling users to distinguish between multiple processing types within a single comprehensive preview display.
2Loss of information
If multiple processing images are displayed separately, then each processing result is clear, but the overall view becomes complex and hard to comprehend
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple processing images are merged into a single comprehensive preview image, with each processing result displayed in its designated region. This integration allows users to view all processing results simultaneously in one unified display, maintaining clarity while avoiding the complexity of multiple separate displays.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of displaying multiple processing images sequentially or in separate windows, the system uses spatial arrangement within a single two-dimensional preview image to present multiple processing results simultaneously. This dimensional organization allows clear differentiation of processing types without requiring multiple display layers.
3Loss of information
If type marks are added to indicate processing types, then processing information becomes clear, but the support surface requires additional markings
Solution Approach 1:
The type marks on the support surface serve as reference copies that guide the placement and orientation of processing targets. These marks are simple graphical indicators that convey processing type information without requiring complex physical modifications to the support surface structure.

AI summary
A processing system includes a support table with a support surface to support a processing target and including a type mark that includes information on a type of processing, and a controller configured or programmed to include a storage to store a processing image showing contents of processing for each type of processing, an acquirer to acquire a captured image of the support surface including the type mark, an identifier to identify the type of processing included in the type mark in the captured image, a processing image acquirer to acquire a processing image corresponding to the type of processing identified by the identifier as an identified processing image, and a display controller to display the captured image and the identified processing image in an overlapping manner.
