Radiographic Display Focus Highlight Transition Logic
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional radiographic image display devices have poor usability when transitioning between different types of imaging sessions, such as long-length imaging or reimaging, as they struggle to effectively highlight and focus on relevant imaging conditions and images.
Innovation Solution
A radiographic image display device and method that uses a hardware processor to transition focus highlights between imaging conditions and image buttons based on the type of next imaging session, ensuring seamless navigation and maintaining usability across various imaging types.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional highlighting transition is used for all imaging sessions, then regular static imaging can be displayed correctly, but usability deteriorates for non-static imaging sessions like long-length imaging and reimaging
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic highlighting transition that automatically adapts to different imaging session types. The system detects whether the next imaging session is regular static imaging or non-static imaging (long-length imaging, reimaging), and dynamically changes the transition behavior of focus highlights accordingly. For regular static imaging, conventional transition is used, while for non-static imaging, the system prevents automatic transition to maintain usability.
2Productivity
If focus highlight transitions automatically to next imaging condition, then navigation efficiency improves for regular imaging, but user control deteriorates for special imaging sessions
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms that monitor the type of imaging session being performed. When non-static imaging sessions are detected, the system provides feedback by preventing automatic highlight transitions, thereby maintaining user control. The hardware processor determines the imaging session type and adjusts the highlighting behavior accordingly, ensuring that automatic navigation only occurs when appropriate.
3Loss of information
If separate display is used for long-length imaging conditions, then imaging detail visibility improves, but interface complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by displaying each imaging condition separately for long-length imaging sessions. Instead of showing all conditions in a single list, the system divides the display into separate entries for each imaging condition, making it easier for users to distinguish and select specific imaging parameters. This segmentation is implemented while the hardware processor manages the overall interface to prevent excessive complexity.

AI summary
Provided is a radiographic image display device that includes a display on which a first focus highlight to focus on one imaging condition among multiple imaging conditions and a second focus highlight to focus on a button for displaying a taken image are displayed; and a hardware processor. After completion of an imaging session in the one imaging condition, the hardware processor transitions the first focus highlight to an imaging condition for a next imaging session and transitions the second focus highlight to the button for displaying an image taken in the one imaging condition. The hardware processor controls a transition destination of at least one of the first focus highlight and the second focus highlight according to a type of the next imaging session performed after the imaging session in the one imaging condition.
