Specimen Analysis Dot Visibility via Selective Hiding
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing three-dimensional distribution charts in specimen analysis devices suffer from overlapping dots of different types, making it difficult to visually recognize the distribution of desired formed components.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that allows users to hide or change the display format of specific dots on a three-dimensional distribution chart based on user operations, enhancing visibility of the desired formed components by selectively displaying or altering the appearance of dots.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If all formed components are displayed as dots on the three-dimensional distribution chart, then complete data coverage is achieved, but visual recognition of desired formed components deteriorates due to overlapping dots
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and removes specific dots (unwanted formed components) from the three-dimensional distribution chart based on user selection. By selectively hiding dots corresponding to formed components the user does not wish to analyze, the chart eliminates visual clutter and overlapping interference, thereby improving the visual recognition of desired formed components while maintaining complete data coverage for those that remain displayed
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different display qualities to different regions of the data set by allowing users to selectively hide or modify specific dots based on their formation timing or other attributes. This creates localized display characteristics where desired formed components are prominently visible while unwanted ones are hidden, resolving the contradiction between complete data representation and visual clarity
2Stability of the object's composition
If all dots are displayed with the same format, then consistency is maintained, but differentiation of desired components from background noise deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables users to apply different display formats to different dots based on their attributes such as formation timing. By allowing selective modification of dot appearance (hiding, color changes, size changes) for specific formed components, the system maintains consistency for displayed components while creating visual differentiation between desired components and background noise, thereby resolving the contradiction between consistency and differentiation

AI summary
Disclosed is a method for displaying a result of analysis performed on a specimen containing formed components. The method includes: obtaining, from each of the formed components, measurement values of at least three parameters; displaying a screen including a three-dimensional distribution chart in which the three parameters are used as axes and the formed components are represented by dots; and hiding specific dots on the three-dimensional distribution chart or changing a display format of the specific dots, according to an operation performed by a user.
