Timbre Setting Interface with Correspondence Display for Electronic Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulty in identifying the correct manipulator to set desired timbre parameters in electronic devices simulated by software, due to numerous manipulators with varying positions across different devices.
Innovation Solution
A timbre setting program and device that displays an appearance image of a target electronic device, along with setting manipulators and a correspondence display showing the relation between these manipulators and their counterparts in the appearance image, allowing users to easily identify and set timbre parameters.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple manipulators are provided in the electronic device to simulate various timbre parameters, then the timbre setting capability is improved, but the difficulty to grasp the position of a manipulator increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a correspondence display as an intermediary element that connects the setting manipulator in the UI with the manipulator in the appearance image. This mediator visually links the control interface with the simulated device, allowing users to easily identify which manipulator in the appearance image corresponds to the currently selected setting manipulator, thus resolving the confusion caused by multiple manipulators with varying positions.
2Adaptability or versatility
If manipulators vary in position in each electronic device, then the software can simulate different electronic devices, but the consistency in manipulator positioning is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the display into distinct functional areas: the appearance image area showing the simulated electronic device, the setting manipulator area for UI control, and the correspondence display area for linking them. This segmentation allows each component to serve its specific purpose independently, enabling the software to simulate different electronic devices with varying manipulator positions while maintaining consistent and predictable positioning for the setting manipulators in the UI.

AI summary
A timbre setting program causes a computer equipped with a displayer to execute timbre setting processing for setting a timbre. The timbre setting program causes the computer to execute processing including: displaying, on the displayer, an appearance image that is an image of a target electronic device the timbre of which is simulated; displaying, on the displayer, a setting manipulator that sets a timbre parameter of the timbre; and displaying a correspondence display in which a correspondence is made between the setting manipulator and a manipulator displayed in the appearance image that performs the same setting as the setting manipulator.
