Controlling Device File Transfer via Spatial Gesture Recognition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing file transmission methods between devices require users to memorize models, names, icons, or customized identifiers of controlled devices, making the process inconvenient.
Innovation Solution
A file transmission method where the controlling device recognizes an absolute operation direction of a selected file and determines the target controlled device based on the layout of the manipulation environment, allowing users to transmit files by simply pushing the selected file towards the target device without needing to remember identifiers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users memorize device identifiers (models, names, icons, customized identifiers) to transmit files, then file transmission can be performed, but user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically performs device identification and file routing based on sensor-detected spatial information, eliminating the need for users to manually input or recall device identifiers. The controlling device self-services the identification process by using its sensors to detect the controlled device's location and automatically establish the transmission connection.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the manual cognitive system (user memorizing and inputting device identifiers) with an automated sensor-based spatial detection system. Instead of relying on user memory and manual input, the system uses sensors to detect the controlled device's position in the manipulation environment and automatically routes the file transmission.
2Ease of operation
If device identifiers are used for file transmission, then accurate device selection is achieved, but operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The controlling device automatically performs device identification and selection by detecting the controlled device's spatial position through its sensors. The system self-services the complex task of identifying which controlled device the user wants to transmit to, by using spatial detection to automatically determine the target device based on the user's gesture direction.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces spatial position and gesture direction as intermediary parameters between the user's transmission intent and the target device selection. Instead of directly using device identifiers, the system uses the controlled device's physical location and the direction of the user's push gesture as intermediaries to automatically determine the target device for file transmission.
3Adaptability or versatility
If traditional file transmission methods are used, then file sharing functionality is achieved, but user experience deteriorates due to memorization requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the traditional identifier-based selection mechanism with a sensor-based spatial detection mechanism. The controlling device uses its sensors to detect the controlled device's position in the manipulation environment and the direction of the user's push gesture, automatically routing the file transmission without requiring users to interact with device identifiers.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adapts the file transmission process to the user's physical gesture and the controlled device's real-time spatial position. Instead of a static identifier-based selection, the system continuously monitors the manipulation environment and dynamically determines the target device based on the user's push gesture direction and the controlled device's location, making the interaction more natural and adaptable.
