Task Index Transition Animation for Work Support Systems
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing scheduling tools for managing tasks in small and medium-sized enterprises complicate progress management by mixing unprocessed and processed task indices, leading to display issues and potential quality deterioration.
Innovation Solution
A work support system that includes a list display control unit to separate unprocessed and processed task indices and a moving display control unit, visually representing the transition of task indices from unprocessed to processed by displaying them as moving behind other unprocessed indices, enhancing visual recognition and clarity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If unprocessed and processed task indices are mixed and displayed together, then the display is simple and compact, but the visual recognition and clarity of task status deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the task index display into two separate lists: one for unprocessed task indices and another for processed task indices. This segmentation allows each list to maintain visual clarity and distinctness, enabling users to easily differentiate between completed and pending tasks without visual confusion, thereby resolving the contradiction between compact display and clear status recognition.
2Loss of information
If task indices are displayed in separate lists, then the visual recognition of task status is improved, but the device complexity and display control increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic display control where processed task indices automatically move to a separate list, and the display adapts based on task completion status. This dynamic behavior is achieved through programmed control logic that automatically manages the separation and movement of task indices between lists, reducing the perceived complexity for users while maintaining clear visual organization.
3Loss of information
If task indices move from unprocessed to processed list, then the transition is visually represented, but the display control and animation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses visual copying and movement animation techniques where the task index appears to move from one list to another through graphical representation. This is achieved by rendering the task index element and animating its position change across the display, providing clear visual feedback about task completion while using standard graphical user interface techniques that do not require complex hardware modifications.

AI summary
A work support system of an embodiment of the present invention includes a list display control unit to display, on a display device, a first list including a plurality of unprocessed task indices and a second list including a plurality of processed task indices and a first moving display control unit to display, when attribution of one of the unprocessed task indices in the first list is changed to a processed task index, the task index, attribution of which is changed, in a moving manner from the first list to the second list, wherein the first moving display control unit displays such that the task index attribution of which is changed is visually recognized as passing behind the unprocessed task indices when displaying such that the task index, attribution of which is changed, passes a display location of at least the unprocessed task indices of other task indices.
