Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Inexperienced users find it difficult to determine the type of anomaly in measurement spectrum waveforms, as existing spectrum analysis systems lack clear indicators and references to help identify anomalies such as fluorescence and spectral saturation.
Innovation Solution
A spectrum analysis system and method that includes a display for measurement spectrum waveforms, with selectable anomaly items and corresponding reference spectrum waveforms, allowing users to visually recognize and identify anomalies by comparing measurement and reference waveforms.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If help information providing solutions for obstruction events is displayed, then users can obtain solutions for anomalies, but inexperienced users cannot easily determine which type of anomaly appears in the measurement spectrum waveform
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the anomaly identification process into distinct selectable anomaly items (fluorescence, spectral saturation, etc.), allowing users to systematically examine each potential anomaly type separately rather than attempting to identify all anomalies simultaneously, thereby making the complex analysis process more manageable for inexperienced users
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces reference spectrum waveforms as an intermediary tool that mediates between the raw measurement data and the user's understanding. These reference waveforms serve as visual guides that help users compare and identify anomalies without requiring deep expertise in spectrum analysis
Solution Approach 3:
The system implements feedback by displaying reference spectrum waveforms corresponding to selected anomaly items, allowing users to immediately see what the anomaly looks like and compare it with their measurement. This visual feedback loop enables users to iteratively identify and understand anomalies through direct comparison
2Loss of information
If multiple pieces of help information for multiple obstruction events are displayed, then comprehensive solutions are provided, but inexperienced users cannot specifically find which representation form is determined as anomaly
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides comprehensive anomaly information into segmented, selectable anomaly items, each representing a specific obstruction event type. This segmentation allows the system to maintain information completeness while presenting information in a structured, easily navigable format that reduces identification difficulty
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses visual differentiation (analogous to color changes) by displaying reference spectrum waveforms with distinct characteristics for each anomaly type, enabling users to visually distinguish between different anomaly representation forms through their unique waveform patterns
3Ease of operation
If no visual reference is provided for anomaly types, then the system remains simple, but users cannot visually recognize anomaly representation forms
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates simplified copies of anomalous spectrum waveforms as reference materials. These reference copies preserve the essential characteristics of each anomaly type while being presented in a standardized, easily comparable format that maintains system simplicity while enhancing anomaly recognition capability
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-preparing and storing reference spectrum waveforms for various anomaly types before the user needs them. This allows users to immediately access visual references when needed without requiring the system to generate or search for comparison data in real-time
