Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for synchronously displaying measurement data in vehicular software struggle to effectively manage multiple signal groups, leading to mutual influence and limitations in displaying all signal groups, especially when there are too many groups.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for synchronously displaying measurement data by setting synchronization identifiers and functions for multiple measurement data display windows, allowing synchronization when the display time span of a paused window is modified, ensuring consistent synchronization across matching identifiers.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If multiple signal groups are displayed in separate measurement data display windows, then mutual influence between signal groups is avoided, but synchronization of time axes across windows becomes complex and difficult to manage

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveindependence of signal groupsVSAvoidsynchronization mechanism

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides measurement data into separate signal groups, each displayed in independent measurement data display windows. Each window manages its own signal group (e.g., power assembly, chassis electric control) separately, avoiding mutual interference while maintaining independent control over display parameters.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A synchronization identifier acts as an intermediary mechanism between independent display windows. When signals share the same synchronization identifier, the system automatically coordinates their time axes through a synchronization function, enabling synchronized display without direct coupling between windows.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Device complexity

If all signal groups are displayed in a single measurement data display window, then synchronization is simplified, but mutual influence between signal groups occurs and not all groups can be displayed effectively

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesynchronization mechanismVSAvoidindependence of signal groups

Core Design Contradiction:

Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Multiple independent display windows are merged through the synchronization function when they share the same synchronization identifier. This allows coordinated display of multiple signal groups with synchronized time axes, combining the benefits of independent display with synchronized coordination.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Ease of operation

If the display time span of one measurement data display window is modified, then the user can focus on a specific time range, but other synchronized windows do not automatically update, requiring manual adjustment

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvetime span adjustmentVSAvoidmanual adjustment time

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The synchronization function implements feedback mechanisms that automatically detect changes in display time span of one window and propagate these changes to other windows sharing the same synchronization identifier. This automatic feedback loop eliminates the need for manual adjustment in synchronized windows.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-establishes synchronization relationships between windows through synchronization identifiers before display adjustments are made. When windows are pre-configured with matching synchronization identifiers, automatic coordination occurs immediately upon any window's time span modification, without requiring subsequent manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A method of synchronously displaying measurement data includes: setting a synchronization identifier and a synchronization function for a plurality of measurement data display windows respectively; when a display time span of any measurement data display window in a paused state is modified, calling the synchronization function of other measurement data display windows in a paused state, and matching the synchronization identifier of the measurement data display window in a paused state with the synchronization identifiers of other measurement data display windows in a paused state in the synchronization function; if successfully matching, performing synchronization operation.
