Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The sulfur chemiluminescence detector (SCD) in analysis systems, such as gas chromatographs, faces challenges with manual operation during start-up and stop procedures, leading to performance deterioration or malfunction when not followed correctly or in a timely manner, especially for operators without advanced knowledge of the operations.
Innovation Solution
An analysis system with a display control method and non-transitory computer readable medium that displays status images and operation images in a specific order, allowing users to visually identify the working or stopping order of components and change their states accordingly, preventing incorrect operations and ensuring timely procedures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual operation is performed during start-up or stop of the analysis device, then the device can be controlled for maintenance or troubleshooting, but performance deterioration or malfunction may occur if operations are not performed according to the correct procedure and in a timely manner
Solution Approach 1:
The system displays the correct operation procedure in advance before the operator performs manual operations. The display shows the sequence of operations that should be performed, allowing the operator to understand the correct procedure beforehand and follow it accurately, thereby preventing performance deterioration or malfunction.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides real-time feedback by displaying the current operation status and the expected next steps. The display updates to reflect which operations have been performed and which are pending, guiding the operator to perform operations in the correct sequence and timing, thus maintaining device reliability during manual intervention.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the analysis device is temporarily stopped during automatic start-up or automatic stop, then another operation can be performed, but it becomes difficult to operate each component correctly unless the operator has advanced knowledge
Solution Approach 1:
The system displays the complete operation procedure in advance, showing the operator what steps need to be taken and in what order. This preliminary information provision makes it easy for operators without advanced knowledge to perform operations correctly when the device is temporarily stopped during automatic sequences.
3Ease of repair
If each part of the analysis device is operated manually during start-up or stop, then maintenance or troubleshooting can be performed, but performance deterioration or malfunction may occur due to incorrect or untimely operations
Solution Approach 1:
The display shows the correct operation procedure in advance, providing a step-by-step guide for manual operations during maintenance or troubleshooting. This ensures that operators can access and perform maintenance tasks while following the correct procedure, preventing performance deterioration or malfunction.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides real-time feedback on the operation status, showing which components have been operated and which remain. This feedback mechanism guides operators to perform maintenance or troubleshooting operations in the correct sequence, maintaining device reliability even during manual intervention.

AI summary
When an operation receiver receives an operation for starting automatic start-up processing, a display controller causes a display to display a first direction image indicating a working order of a plurality of objects to be controlled, sequentially changes a display mode of a status image corresponding to an object that has worked to a first mode, and changes a display state of each of a plurality of operation images to an operable first state or an inoperable second state. When the operation receiver receives an operation for starting automatic stop processing, the display controller causes the display to display a second direction image indicating a stopping order of the plurality of objects in a reversed manner of the first direction image, sequentially changes a display mode of a status image corresponding to an object that has stopped to a second mode.
