Adaptive Device Control Interfaces for Fewer Inputs and Lower Power

1Productivity

If traditional control methods are used to control external devices, then comprehensive control functionality is achieved, but user time consumption increases and device energy is wasted

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontrol efficiencyVSAvoiduser time consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-configures accessibility settings and automatically determines the appropriate user interface mode before control operations begin. By anticipating user needs and pre-establishing control parameters based on accessibility profiles, the system eliminates the need for users to manually navigate through multiple keystrokes and setup steps, thereby reducing time consumption while maintaining comprehensive control functionality

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary component that acts as a smart interface between the user and the external device. This intermediary automatically translates user intentions into appropriate control sequences, selecting between graphical and non-graphical interfaces based on accessibility settings. It mediates the control process by preprocessing commands and adapting them to the most efficient transmission method, thus improving control efficiency without sacrificing functionality

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If standard user interfaces are displayed for all users, then universal compatibility is achieved, but cognitive burden increases for users with impairments

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveinterface adaptabilityVSAvoidcognitive burden

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adapts the user interface based on detected accessibility settings. When a user with impairments is detected, the system automatically switches from standard graphical interfaces to simplified non-graphical interfaces with fewer steps and reduced cognitive demands. This dynamic adaptation maintains universal compatibility while significantly reducing cognitive burden for users with specific needs

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes interface parameters such as complexity, interaction steps, and visual elements based on user accessibility profiles. For users with impairments, the system modifies these parameters to create simplified interfaces that maintain full functionality while reducing cognitive load. This parameter adaptation allows the same system to serve diverse user needs effectively

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

4Measurement precision

If multiple input steps are required for device control, then precise control is achieved, but operational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontrol precisionVSAvoidinterface complexity

Core Design Contradiction:
