Screen Data Selection for Terminal Display Adaptability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional image processing devices face difficulties in displaying user-friendly screens on terminal devices with varying screen sizes, leading to reduced operability due to mismatched screen sizes and layouts, which requires storing multiple layout patterns and increases storage needs.
Innovation Solution
An image processing system that stores multiple types of screen data corresponding to different screen sizes, includes a screen information obtaining part to determine the terminal device's screen size, a screen data selecting part to choose the appropriate screen data, and an output part to send the selected screen data to the terminal device, ensuring optimal display and operability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the image processing device sends the screen designed for the operational panel screen size to the terminal device, then the screen can be displayed on the terminal device, but the operational keys and spaces between the operational keys are reduced in size, making it more difficult for users to operate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameter of screen data selection based on terminal device screen size. The image processing device obtains screen size information from the terminal device and selects appropriate screen data from multiple types stored in the storage unit, thereby adjusting the display parameters to match the terminal device's screen characteristics and ensuring optimal operability.
2Ease of operation
If the image processing device creates appropriate screens each time by selecting layout patterns corresponding to terminal device screen sizes, then the operability is improved, but multiple layout patterns need to be prepared in advance, occupying storage area
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the storage unit store multiple types of screen data that can be universally applied to different terminal devices. Instead of storing multiple layout patterns for each device type, the system stores screen data in a format that can be selected and adapted based on screen size information, reducing the total quantity of stored data while maintaining compatibility across devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary action by obtaining screen size information from the terminal device before sending the screen. This allows the image processing device to pre-select the most appropriate screen data from the stored multiple types, avoiding the need to store and process multiple layout patterns for every possible device configuration.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple layout patterns are stored for different screen sizes, then appropriate screens can be created for various terminal devices, but the storage area is occupied by a huge number of layout patterns
Solution Approach 1:
The patent stores multiple types of screen data with different parameters (such as different resolutions and layout configurations) in the storage unit. Based on the screen size information obtained from the terminal device, the system selects the most appropriate screen data type, thereby achieving adaptability to various screen sizes without storing an excessive number of layout patterns.

AI summary
An image processing system comprises: a terminal device that is provided with a display part; and an image processing device that outputs screen data to the terminal device, thereby enabling the display part to display a screen based on the screen data. The image processing device includes: a storage part in which multiple types of the screen data corresponding to respective screen sizes are stored; a screen information obtaining part that obtains information relating to the screen size of the display part; a screen data selecting part that selects the screen data corresponding to the screen size smaller than the screen size of the display part from among the multiple types of the screen data based on the information obtained by the screen information obtaining part; and an output part that outputs the screen data selected by the screen data selecting part to the terminal device.
