Terminal Device Selection Image Priority Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing terminal devices struggle to appropriately display items for user instructions relative to image processing, particularly in varying environmental conditions and distances from image processing devices, leading to suboptimal user experience and convenience.
Innovation Solution
A computer program stored on a non-transitory medium that controls a terminal device's display unit to show different selection images based on connection status with image processing devices using different wireless communication systems, prioritizing items according to the likelihood of user interaction, such as displaying setting instructions when far and performance instructions when close, and adapting based on communication range and device capabilities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the terminal device displays items in a fixed order on the selection image, then the display control is simple, but the user convenience deteriorates because the displayed items do not adapt to different connection scenarios
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the display order of items on the selection image variable rather than fixed. The control unit dynamically adjusts the display order based on detected connection scenarios (e.g., wireless LAN connection, Bluetooth connection, or no connection). This allows the system to adapt to different user needs and environmental conditions, improving user convenience while managing complexity through scenario-based rules.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of display order based on connection scenario detection. When different wireless communication methods are detected (wireless LAN vs. Bluetooth), the control unit changes the parameter of item display priority accordingly. This parameter change approach allows the system to optimize the selection image for different connection types without requiring complete redesign of the display control logic.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the terminal device detects and adapts to multiple connection scenarios, then the adaptability improves, but the device complexity increases due to multiple detection and control processes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by creating a single detection and control mechanism that handles multiple connection scenarios (wireless LAN, Bluetooth, and no connection). Instead of implementing separate detection and display control logic for each connection type, the system uses a unified approach where the control unit detects the current connection scenario and applies appropriate display rules, thereby achieving multi-functionality without proportionally increasing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system manages adaptability to multiple connection scenarios by changing display parameters (item priority order) based on detected connection types. This parameter-based adaptation allows the system to handle diverse connection scenarios through a single control framework, improving versatility while keeping the control process manageable through rule-based parameter adjustment rather than complex scenario-specific logic.

AI summary
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having a computer program stored thereon and readable a computer of a terminal device, the computer program, when executed by the computer, causes the computer to perform: controlling a display unit to display a first image as a selection image including first and second items for receiving instructions relative to image processing; controlling the display unit to display a second image as the selection image if the terminal device and the first image processing device are connected using the second wireless communication system; instructing a first image processing device to perform the image processing in response to receiving a performance instruction. In the first image, the first item is displayed preferentially. In the second image, the second item is displayed preferentially.
