Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The operation of unmanned flight vehicles, such as drones, is difficult due to the complexity of controlling them with traditional proportional type controllers, requiring extensive practice for safe operation.
Innovation Solution
A system that converts human motion and sound information into operation signals to control the drone, allowing easier operation by associating imagined human motions with corresponding drone movements, using motion capture sensors and sound recognition to transmit control signals.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If traditional proportional type controller is used to operate drone, then precise control can be achieved, but operation becomes extremely difficult requiring extensive practice
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the traditional mechanical proportional controller with a motion recognition system that captures human body movements and converts them into control signals. This substitution eliminates the need for manual manipulation of control sticks while maintaining precise control through automated motion tracking and signal conversion processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces motion capture sensors and signal conversion units as intermediaries between the operator's natural body movements and the drone's control system. These intermediaries translate human motion into precise control commands, bridging the gap between intuitive physical gestures and the technical requirements of drone control.
2Reliability
If traditional controller operation is used, then control functionality is achieved, but extensive practice time is required for safe operation
Solution Approach 1:
The motion recognition system performs automatic calibration and adaptation to the operator's natural movements, eliminating the need for extensive manual practice. The system self-adjusts to capture and interpret the operator's body motions accurately, providing reliable control from the outset without requiring prolonged training periods.
3Ease of operation
If motion capture and sound recognition are used to control drone, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a multi-functional integrated system where motion capture sensors, sound recognition units, and signal conversion mechanisms work together within a single control framework. This universal approach allows the system to handle multiple types of inputs (body motion, voice commands) and convert them into unified control signals, managing complexity through functional integration.

AI summary
The present invention provides a new system that allows an easier operation of a moving object. The present invention provides a moving object operation system (1) including a moving object (20) and an operation signal transmitter (10) for the moving object (20). The moving object (20) includes a signal receipt unit (201) that receives an operation signal from the operation signal transmitter (10). The operation signal transmitter (10) includes a storage unit (101) that contains conversion information, a motion information acquisition unit (102) that acquires motion information of an operator, a conversion unit (103) that converts the acquired motion information into the operation signal to the moving object (20) based on the conversion information, and a signal transmission unit (104) that transmits the operation signal to the moving object (20). The conversion information includes human motion information and operation signal information for instructing the moving object (20) in how to move, and the human motion information and the operation signal information are associated with each other. The human motion information is motion information imagining the movement of the moving object (20).
