Centralized Screen Layout Management for Electronic Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic devices lack an efficient system for managing and customizing the operation screen layout, leading to inconsistencies and increased administrative burdens when managing multiple devices.
Innovation Solution
A setting system that utilizes layout management information to specify and transmit the appropriate operation screen layout to electronic devices based on their unique information, allowing for centralized management and reducing the likelihood of inappropriate screen displays.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional electronic devices are used without a centralized layout management system, then each device can operate independently, but screen layout inconsistencies and increased administrative burdens occur when managing multiple devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a setting system as an intermediary between administrators and electronic devices. This setting system manages screen layout information centrally and transmits appropriate layouts to devices based on device information, thereby ensuring screen layout consistency across multiple devices while simplifying administrative management.
2Reliability
If a centralized layout management system is implemented, then screen layout consistency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The setting system stores layout information that can be copied and transmitted to multiple electronic devices. Instead of managing each device individually, the same layout information is copied and distributed to ensure consistency, reducing the complexity of managing each device separately while maintaining reliability.
3Ease of operation
If manual screen layout configuration is performed for each device, then device independence is maintained, but time consumption and administrative burden increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The setting system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring and storing layout information before it is needed. When electronic devices request layout information, the setting system can quickly transmit the pre-prepared layout data, eliminating the need for manual configuration at each device and significantly reducing administrative time.
Solution Approach 2:
The setting system acts as an intermediary that automates the layout configuration process. Administrators only need to input layout information once into the setting system, which then automatically distributes it to all electronic devices, making the configuration process much easier and faster compared to manual configuration at each device.
4Reliability
If no layout management information is stored, then device simplicity is maintained, but inappropriate screen displays occur frequently
Solution Approach 1:
The setting system stores layout information that can be copied to electronic devices. By maintaining a central repository of layout information and copying it to devices as needed, the system ensures appropriate screen displays without requiring complex storage mechanisms at each individual device.

AI summary
A setting system for setting an operation screen in an electronic device has layout management information that manages a layout of the operation screen of the electronic device in association with information on the electronic device, and, according to a request for the layout by the electronic device, specifies the layout to be transmitted to the electronic device on the basis of the layout management information and transmits the layout to the electronic device.
