Dual-Joystick Remote Control for Intuitive UAV Motion Mapping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current remote control technologies for devices like unmanned aerial vehicles and electronic toys lack intuitive operation, with complex user interfaces and poor user experience due to the absence of visual correspondence between rocker device movements and actual object movements.
Innovation Solution
A remote control design featuring a first rocker device with a parallel-moving joystick component and a second rocker device with a straight-moving or rotating joystick component, both connected to a processor that generates corresponding control instructions for horizontal and vertical movements, enhancing intuitive operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional rocker devices are used in remote controls, then the remote control can operate the movable object, but the operation is complex and lacks visual correspondence between joystick movement and object movement
Solution Approach 1:
The patent inverts the conventional rocker device design by enabling parallel movement of the joystick component instead of only rotational movement. This inversion allows the joystick to move in the same direction as the desired object movement, creating intuitive visual correspondence and simplifying the control interface.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a new dimension of movement by allowing the joystick component to move parallel to the remote control body in addition to or instead of traditional rotational movement. This dimensional change enables direct mapping between joystick displacement and object movement direction, enhancing operational intuitiveness.
2Ease of operation
If traditional rocker devices with rotational movement are used, then the device structure is simple, but the user experience is poor due to lack of visual correspondence
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static rotational rocker device into a dynamic system that supports multiple movement modes including parallel displacement. The joystick component can now move dynamically in parallel with the remote control body, creating a more intuitive and responsive user experience while maintaining structural feasibility.
3Ease of operation
If the first joystick component moves in parallel relative to the body, then the operation becomes intuitive with visual correspondence, but the movement precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces complex mechanical parallel movement mechanisms with alternative sensing methods. By using magnetic sensors or other non-mechanical detection systems, the patent achieves precise detection of parallel joystick displacement without requiring high-precision mechanical guidance structures, thus maintaining intuitiveness while reducing manufacturing precision requirements.

Function Achieved in This Case
The remote control provides intuitive and simple operation by directly correlating joystick movements with object movements, making it easier for users to control devices like unmanned aerial vehicles with reduced risk of faulty operations.
Implementation Method 1
a first circuit board, including a first magnetic sensor, where the first magnetic sensor is configured to sense a magnetic field change of the first magnetic element

AI summary
A remote control includes a body, a first rocker device, a second rocker device, a processor, and a signal transmission device. The first rocker device and the second rocker device are installed on the body. The processor connects to the first rocker device, the second rocker device, and the signal transmission device. The first rocker device includes a joystick component. The second rocker device includes a second joystick component. When the first joystick component moves in parallel relative to the body, the processor generates a remote control instruction used to control a movable object to move in a horizontal plane. When the second joystick component moves straightly relative to the body along a first direction or a second direction, the processor generates a remote control instruction used to control the movable object to move upward or move downward in a vertical direction of the movable object.
