Solution Overview

Problem

When a file image is positioned behind the image displayed upon selection, information about the file image is hidden, making it difficult for the user to obtain relevant information.

Innovation Solution

An information processing system that displays an enlarged image corresponding to the selected file image and, if the selected file image is positioned behind the enlarged image, also displays a corresponding image to provide information about the selected file image.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If an enlarged image is displayed when a file image is selected, then the user can obtain information about the file image more easily, but the file image may be positioned behind the enlarged image, making the information hidden

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of obtaining informationVSAvoidinformation visibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent displays a corresponding image that is a copy or representation of the selected file image. This corresponding image is displayed at a position where it does not overlap with the enlarged image, allowing users to view both the enlarged view and the corresponding image simultaneously without information loss or obstruction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Area of stationary object

If the file image is displayed at its original size, then the display area is efficient, but the user cannot easily obtain detailed information about the file image

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay area efficiencyVSAvoidease of obtaining information
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the display into multiple functional areas: a first display area for displaying the enlarged image and a second display area for displaying the corresponding image. This segmentation allows the system to present detailed information in an enlarged view while maintaining efficient use of display space through the corresponding image display area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from displaying only the file image at its original size to displaying both the enlarged image and the corresponding image in different spatial dimensions on the display screen. This dimensional expansion allows users to access detailed information without sacrificing display area efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Ease of operation

If the enlarged image is displayed to show detailed information, then the user can easily obtain information, but the original file image position is obscured

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of obtaining informationVSAvoiddisplay management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a corresponding image as a copy of the selected file image, displayed separately from the enlarged image. This approach allows the system to maintain the original file image information in a separate display location, avoiding the complexity of managing overlapping or obscured images while still providing easy access to detailed information through the enlarged view.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

An information processing system includes a processor configured to: cause an enlarged image to be displayed if a file image is selected, the file image being an image which is displayed on a display and which corresponds to a file, and the enlarged image being an image which corresponds to a selected file image, that is, the file image that is selected, and which has a larger display size than the selected file image; and cause a file-corresponding image to be displayed on the display if the selected file image is positioned behind the enlarged image, the file-corresponding image being an image that corresponds to the selected file image.
