Unified Analyzer Status Screen for Multi-Device Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The increasing complexity of automatic analyzers and the limited workforce lead to inefficient status confirmation processes for multiple analyzers, requiring operators to frequently switch between devices, degrading working efficiency.
Innovation Solution
An automated analysis system with a terminal device that acquires device information from multiple automatic analyzers and generates a status confirmation screen, featuring a switch button to easily transition between analyzer status screens, reducing the need for manual selection and hierarchy navigation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If an operator manually checks status information on each automatic analyzer individually, then comprehensive status confirmation is achieved, but working efficiency deteriorates due to time consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the status information display interfaces of multiple automatic analyzers into a single unified management screen. This allows operators to view and confirm status information from all analyzers simultaneously without manually switching between individual analyzer interfaces, thereby maintaining comprehensive status confirmation while significantly improving working efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The management screen is designed with universal functionality to display status information from multiple different automatic analyzers through a single interface. The screen can accommodate and present information from various analyzers simultaneously, eliminating the need for separate manual checks of each analyzer and resolving the contradiction between complete status confirmation and working efficiency.
2Loss of information
If the management screen is configured for each automatic analyzer separately, then detailed status information is accessible, but operation complexity increases due to multiple screen transitions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple analyzer-specific screens into a single integrated management screen that displays status information from all analyzers simultaneously. This eliminates the need for repeated screen transitions and manual selections, maintaining detailed status information accessibility while dramatically simplifying operation and improving ease of use.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple automatic analyzers are managed through separate interfaces, then device-specific control is maintained, but time required for status confirmation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The management screen is designed with universal multi-functionality to handle multiple automatic analyzers through a single interface. It maintains the capability to access device-specific control functions for each analyzer while presenting all information in one consolidated view, thereby eliminating time-consuming transitions and reducing status confirmation time without sacrificing device-specific control adaptability.

AI summary
Work, such as status confirmation, in a plurality of automatic analyzers is efficiently performed. In an automated analysis system, a tablet terminal 114 has a terminal information management unit 210 and a terminal display unit 208. A terminal information management unit 210 acquires device information showing the state status of a device from automatic analyzers 101a to 101d, and generates a status confirmation screen showing the device status of the automatic analyzer. A terminal display unit 208 displays the status confirmation screen. The status confirmation screen has a status information screen showing the device status of one automatic analyzer and a device switch button configured to switch the status information screen to a status information screen corresponding to another other automatic analyzer. When the switch button is selected, the terminal information management unit 210 generates a status confirmation screen for an automatic analyzer corresponding to the selected switch button, and displays the status confirmation screen on the display unit.
