Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional teaching devices require complex operations to confirm setting information, sensor data, and execution results for icons in programming, making the process less intuitive and efficient.
Innovation Solution
A teaching device with a screen generation unit for creating a program creation screen and a related information display control unit that displays information related to selected or executed icons, providing easy access to various types of information through a simple operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If conventional teaching device operations are used to confirm setting information, sensor data, and execution results, then complete information can be obtained, but the operation process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple information display functions (setting information, sensor data, execution results) into a single integrated display area that appears directly on the program creation screen. This consolidation eliminates the need for separate parameter setting screens and multiple navigation steps, allowing users to access all relevant information in one unified location without increasing operational complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a new spatial dimension for information display by overlaying or adjacent-displaying information panels within the same screen plane as the program creation interface. This dimensional integration allows information to be presented without requiring users to navigate to separate screens or depth levels, maintaining ease of operation while improving information accessibility
2Loss of information
If parameter setting screens are opened for each icon to view setting information, then detailed settings can be confirmed, but the programming process becomes less efficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent displays setting information, sensor data, and execution results in advance directly on the program creation screen before users need to consult them. This preliminary presentation of information eliminates the need for users to open separate parameter setting screens during programming, allowing them to review all necessary details immediately and continue programming without interruption
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated display area serves multiple functions simultaneously: displaying setting information for icons, showing sensor-related data, presenting execution results, and providing guidance for program creation. This multi-functional display eliminates the need for separate specialized screens for each type of information, improving programming efficiency while maintaining comprehensive information visibility
