Solution Overview

Problem

Portable electronic devices with touch functions limited to a single main screen fail to provide versatile operation methods, making it difficult for users to interact with the device in a convenient and efficient manner.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating a first and second touch display device on opposite surfaces of the device body, with a processing unit to verify gesture information and determine the appropriate application, allowing for versatile touch functions and operation modes such as left-hand, right-hand, or both-hand modes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a single main screen is used for touch operations, then the device structure remains simple, but the operation versatility is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation versatilityVSAvoiddisplay structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display surface is segmented into two separate touch display devices located on opposite surfaces of the device body. The first touch display device on the front surface and the second touch display device on the back surface can independently receive touch inputs and display information, enabling versatile operation modes such as front-hand mode, back-hand mode, and both-hand mode without requiring a single complex multi-functional display

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If dual touch display devices are added on opposite surfaces, then operation versatility is enhanced, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetouch function versatilityVSAvoiddisplay system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Both the first and second touch display devices are configured with identical functional capabilities to receive touch inputs and display information. This universal design allows either display device to independently handle various touch operations, reducing the need for complex specialized processing logic for each display and simplifying the overall system architecture while maintaining high operational versatility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Measurement precision

If gesture verification is implemented to determine application execution, then operation precision is improved, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegesture recognition accuracyVSAvoidprocessing logic complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The processing device automatically performs gesture verification and determines application execution based on the touch inputs received from either the first or second touch display device. The system self-manages the gesture recognition process by comparing touch patterns against predefined gesture templates and automatically executing the corresponding applications without requiring additional user intervention or complex external processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A portable electronic device including a first touch display device, a second touch display device and a processing device is provided. The first touch display device is disposed on a first surface of a device body and configured to display a first image frame. The second touch display device is disposed on a second surface of the device body, configured to display a second image frame and receives a touch input. The processing device is coupled to the first touch display and the second touch display. The processing device is configured to verify gesture information of the touch input to determine whether to execute an application associated with the gesture information. The first image frame of the first touch display device correspond to the application. In addition, a method of operating the portable electronic device is also provided.
