Unified Image Data Scaling Interface for Multi-Set Processing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Processing multiple image data sets for the same enlargement or reduction ratio and size is complex and prone to errors, requiring individual adjustments and manual attachment of scale bars.
Innovation Solution
A data processing system with an information processing device and display device that allows simultaneous display and collective adjustment of enlargement or reduction ratios, color tones, and scale bars for multiple image data sets, reducing operator workload through a user-friendly interface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If individual processing is performed for each image data, then precise control of enlargement/reduction ratio and size is achieved, but work load increases and errors occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple image data processing operations into a single unified interface. Multiple image data are displayed together in a plurality of image display areas, and a single operation on the enlargement/reduction ratio slider simultaneously adjusts all displayed images, eliminating the need for individual processing of each image while maintaining consistent scaling across all data sets.
Solution Approach 2:
The enlargement/reduction ratio slider serves as a universal control element that functions across multiple image display areas simultaneously. This single control element provides multi-functional capability to adjust the size of multiple different image data sets, replacing the need for separate control elements for each image.
2Manufacturing precision
If multiple image data are displayed and processed individually, then each image can be adjusted precisely, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple image display areas into a single display unit and merges their control mechanisms. The enlargement/reduction ratio slider is shared across all image display areas, allowing simultaneous adjustment of multiple images in one operation, thereby dramatically reducing the time required to process multiple image data sets while maintaining processing accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary arrangement by displaying multiple image data in predetermined image display areas before processing begins. This preliminary organization allows the subsequent enlargement/reduction operation to be applied uniformly to all pre-positioned images, eliminating the need to individually position and adjust each image separately.
3Manufacturing precision
If separate controls are used for each image, then individual image quality is maintained, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal control system where a single enlargement/reduction ratio slider controls multiple image display areas simultaneously. This multi-functional control element replaces what would otherwise require multiple separate sliders, one for each image, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining the ability to precisely control image display quality across all data sets.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges multiple control functions into a single control element. The enlargement/reduction ratio slider is combined to serve all image display areas, and the trimming operations are merged into a unified trimming display that shows simultaneous trimming states for multiple images, reducing the overall number of control elements required.
