Display Device Interface Adaptation via Wearable State Recognition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Wearable devices and display systems do not adapt their user interfaces based on whether a user is wearing the device and their exercise state, leading to suboptimal user experience.
Innovation Solution
A display device and operating method that recognize the wearing state of a wearable device and user's exercise state, adjusting the user interface and controlling functions based on these conditions, including hand gestures, to provide an optimized interface for media content and exercise information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed user interface screen is provided without considering wearing state and exercise state, then the device structure remains simple, but the user experience and interface adaptability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The user interface dynamically adapts its layout and content based on real-time detection of wearing state (via acceleration sensors) and exercise state (via heart rate monitors and motion sensors). The system transitions between different interface modes (e.g., full media playback when not exercising, exercise-monitoring mode when exercising) to optimize user experience for each context.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors user physiological data (heart rate, motion) and device state (wearing detection) to provide real-time feedback that triggers interface adjustments. This closed-loop feedback mechanism enables the interface to automatically respond to user needs without manual intervention.
2Ease of operation
If traditional button or remote control operations are used, then the device structure remains simple, but the ease of operation during exercise deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses the user's own body movements and gestures as the control interface. Acceleration sensors and motion detectors capture natural hand waving patterns, clapping, or other gestures to infer user intent for media control (play, pause, skip, volume adjustment), eliminating the need for separate physical controls.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces mechanical control interfaces (buttons, remote controls) with gesture recognition based on inertial measurement units and motion sensors. This substitution enables contactless control that is particularly suitable for exercise scenarios where users have their hands occupied or are sweating.
