Quality Information Visualization Synchronized With Moving Objects
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for continuous quality monitoring in object production, such as flat steel manufacturing, rely on manual inspection and lack a seamless integration of real-time quality information with the actual object view, leading to potential loss of information and inefficiencies.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that synchronize quality information with the user's actual view by allowing relative movement between a display and the object, enabling continuous and position-specific display of quality information without requiring the user to change their viewing direction, using a control device connected to inspection systems and tracking sensors.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If a fully automated component image representation is used for quality assessment, then automation extent is improved, but information loss occurs that prevents accurate quality assessment
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the real object view with the quality information display into a single unified view. The display superimposes quality information directly onto the visual representation of the object, allowing users to see both the actual object and its quality characteristics simultaneously without switching between separate displays or images.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary display system that acts as a mediator between the inspection system and the user. This display converts complex quality data into a visual format that is overlaid on the object representation, making the information accessible and actionable while preserving the connection to the actual object being inspected.
2Measurement precision
If the user switches views between display and real object to assess quality, then measurement precision is improved, but time loss occurs due to constant view switching
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the display of quality information with the visual representation of the object into a single integrated view. This eliminates the need for users to switch between separate displays and the actual object, as all quality information is presented simultaneously overlaid on the object image.
3Device complexity
If quality information is displayed on a stationary display while the object moves, then device complexity is reduced, but synchronization difficulty increases to maintain correct positioning
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the inspection system continuously monitors the object's position and movement, and this information is fed back to the display system. The display adjusts the positioning of quality information in real-time based on the object's current position, ensuring accurate alignment without requiring complex mechanical synchronization systems.
4Measurement precision
If manual inspection is used for quality monitoring, then measurement precision is improved, but productivity decreases due to manual processes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements an automated inspection system that performs quality assessment independently without requiring constant manual intervention. The system automatically captures images, processes quality data, and displays results, enabling continuous monitoring at production speed while maintaining accurate quality assessment through automated image analysis.

AI summary
The invention relates to a method for displaying quality information of an object, in which the quality information is displayed to a user, wherein a relative movement takes place between the display and the object and the user actually sees at least a part of the object, and it is determined what the user actually sees, and the quality information is adapted to what the user actually sees.
