Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices lack an intuitive user interface for easily navigating and controlling three-dimensional icons and virtual layers, making it difficult for users to interact with complex multimedia functions.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device equipped with a camera to capture user gestures and a controller to adjust the depth and position of virtual layers and icons based on gesture inputs, allowing users to change the position of virtual layers and icons within a three-dimensional space using predefined gesture modes or voice commands.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional two-dimensional display interfaces are used, then device simplicity is maintained, but user interaction with three-dimensional content becomes difficult and unintuitive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from traditional two-dimensional display interfaces to a three-dimensional virtual space interface. Virtual layers are displayed at different depths in three-dimensional space, allowing users to interact with icons and objects in a spatial environment. This dimensional change enables more intuitive user interaction while maintaining interface simplicity through natural spatial relationships.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple virtual layers with different depths are displayed, then information organization capability is improved, but control difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic control of virtual layers through gesture recognition. Users can perform gestures to move virtual layers between different depths, adjust their positions, and select specific layers. This dynamic interaction allows flexible information organization while keeping control simple through intuitive physical gestures rather than complex menu navigation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces gesture recognition as an intermediary between the user and the virtual layers. Instead of directly manipulating digital interfaces, users perform physical gestures that are translated into layer control commands. This intermediary layer simplifies control by mapping natural hand movements to interface operations, making it easier to manage multiple virtual layers with different information organization functions.
3Ease of operation
If gesture recognition is implemented for controlling virtual layers, then user interface intuitiveness is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical input devices (buttons, keyboards, mice) with gesture-based control. The camera captures hand movements and the controller interprets these gestures to control virtual layers. This substitution eliminates the need for physical interface components while improving intuitiveness, as gestures naturally map to spatial manipulations in the three-dimensional virtual space.
