Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile terminals with infrared sensors struggle to efficiently manage multiple windows, leading to decreased operability when recognizing gestures for input operations.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If only one non-contact detection sensor is used, then the device complexity is reduced, but the operability for multiple windows deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the sensing function into multiple independent non-contact detection sensors, with each sensor dedicated to detecting gestures for a specific window. This segmentation allows each sensor to handle one window's gesture recognition independently, enabling efficient multi-window operation without requiring complex sensor coordination.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple non-contact detection sensors are added, then the gesture recognition capability for multiple windows is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Each non-contact detection sensor is designed to perform the same gesture detection function, but for different windows. This universal design allows the system to handle multiple windows with identical sensor technology, avoiding the need for specialized sensors for each window and reducing overall system complexity despite having multiple sensors.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent assigns specific spatial regions or zones to each non-contact detection sensor, where each sensor monitors gestures within its designated area corresponding to a specific window. This local quality assignment ensures that each sensor focuses on a specific window's interaction area, improving gesture recognition accuracy while maintaining manageable sensor configuration.
3Ease of operation
If gesture allocation for multiple windows is implemented, then the user experience is improved, but the control system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically associates each non-contact detection sensor with its corresponding window and autonomously processes gesture detections without requiring complex centralized control logic. Each sensor independently detects gestures and triggers appropriate window operations, reducing the burden on the control system and simplifying overall control architecture.

AI summary
An electronic device includes a first non-contact detection sensor, a second non-contact detection sensor, a display, and a controller. The controller determines a first gesture and a second gesture by referring to the first non-contact detection sensor and a second non-contact detection sensor. The controller, when a first window and a second window are displayed on the display, allocates operation of the first window to the first gesture detected by the first non-contact detection sensor, and allocates operation of the second window to the second gesture detected by the second non-contact detection sensor.
