Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current electronic devices cannot provide a comprehensive remote control interface using a single remote interaction, such as air action mode, and lack support for execution application conversion and separate user input operations like icon selection through a remote input device like a stylus pen.
Innovation Solution
The method involves determining the communication connection state between an electronic device and an external display, recognizing attachment or detachment of a remote input device, and activating various remote interactions based on trigger inputs and sensor data from the device, using a processor to manage communication circuits, sensor circuits, and interface display units to provide a complete remote interaction experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If only one remote interaction mode (air action mode) is provided, then the device complexity is reduced, but the adaptability and versatility of remote control functionality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically switches between different remote interaction modes (air action mode, air mouse mode) based on the attachment state of the remote input device. When the device is detached, air action mode is activated; when attached, air mouse mode is activated. This dynamic adaptation allows a single system to provide multiple functionalities without requiring simultaneous support for all modes, resolving the contradiction between versatility and complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The electronic device is designed to universally support multiple remote interaction modes through a single remote input device. The same stylus pen can function as both an air action controller when detached and an air mouse controller when attached, making the device universal and eliminating the need for multiple specialized controllers.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple remote interactions are supported, then the adaptability of remote control is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to the need for separate user input operations
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges multiple remote interaction functionalities into a single unified interface. When the remote input device is attached, both air mouse control and application execution controls are integrated into one cohesive interaction mode, eliminating the need for separate user input operations for different functions. This consolidation maintains ease of operation while providing diverse interaction capabilities.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the electronic device switches between different communication standards, then the adaptability of wireless connection is improved, but the loss of time for determining and switching standards occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic device performs preliminary determination of the appropriate wireless communication standard based on the attachment state of the remote input device before actual communication begins. When the device is attached, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is pre-selected; when detached, another standard is pre-selected. This preliminary action eliminates the need for real-time standard switching during operation, reducing time loss while maintaining adaptability.
