802.11 Resource Unit Measurement Display with Cursor Enlargement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In the IEEE 802.11be standard, selecting and designating resource units for measurement is cumbersome and prone to user errors due to small graphic forms and limited flexibility, especially with wider frequency bandwidths, deteriorating usability.
Innovation Solution
A measurement apparatus with a display part that enlarges resource unit display parts based on cursor placement within a preset range, allowing easy discrimination and designation of desired measurement targets.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If resource unit display parts are displayed in a compact arrangement to show multiple units on one screen, then the quantity of information displayed increases, but the display size of each individual resource unit decreases making it difficult to understand and select
Solution Approach 1:
The display part dynamically changes the display state of resource unit display parts based on user interaction. When the user hovers over or selects a specific resource unit, that unit is enlarged while others maintain their compact arrangement, allowing both high information density and easy selection
Solution Approach 2:
The invention transitions from a static two-dimensional grid display to a dynamic display that adds a size dimension. Selected resource units are displayed at a larger scale than unselected ones, creating a visual hierarchy that helps users identify and select units without reducing the overall quantity displayed
2Productivity
If the frequency bandwidth is increased to 320 MHZ to provide more channel capacity, then the communication throughput increases, but the number of resource units increases making the graphic form smaller and harder to understand
Solution Approach 1:
Different parts of the display have different visual properties based on their selection state. Selected resource units are displayed with larger size and potentially different visual characteristics, while unselected units maintain a compact uniform appearance, allowing users to easily distinguish selected units even in high-bandwidth scenarios with many units
3Productivity
If multiple resource units are allocated to one terminal according to the standard, then the communication efficiency improves, but the user loses flexibility in freely selecting resource units and must follow standard rules which increases complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically determines which resource units are selectable based on the communication standard requirements, and the display automatically highlights or enables only those units that can be allocated to one terminal according to the standard. This allows the standard's complex allocation rules to be enforced automatically while presenting a simplified interface to the user

AI summary
A plurality of resource unit display parts are displayed on a display part in a selectable manner in a case in which measurement of communication in accordance with a standard of IEEE 802.11 is performed, a predetermined number of the resource unit display parts based on a position of a cursor is enlarged to display the enlarged resource unit display part as an enlarged selection part in a case in which a frequency bandwidth of a channel is equal to or greater than a predetermined value and the cursor is placed within a preset range of the display selection part, and a resource unit as a measurement target is allocated by the resource unit display part displayed in the enlarged selection part.
