Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for determining the operating mode of electronic devices based on current attitude are inaccurate, limiting their application to scenes with multiple screens and rotations.

Innovation Solution

Determine the operating mode of electronic devices by combining current and historical attitudes using sensor data sets, where the historical attitude is obtained earlier than the current one, to improve accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the operating mode is determined only according to the current attitude of the device, then the determination process is simple, but the accuracy is low and the application scene is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of operating mode determinationVSAvoidcomplexity of determination process
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by obtaining and storing historical attitude data before making the operating mode determination. The processor obtains a first attitude data set representing a current attitude and a second attitude data set representing a historical attitude, then combines both datasets to determine the operating mode. This prepares the necessary information in advance, improving accuracy without making the determination process overly complex.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If the operating mode is determined only according to the current attitude, then the processing is fast, but the application scene is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication scene coverageVSAvoidtime for obtaining and processing attitude data
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent obtains the second attitude data set representing historical attitude in advance before determining the operating mode. This preliminary acquisition of historical data allows the device to accurately determine operating modes in complex scenarios such as multiple screens and rotations, expanding application scene coverage while managing processing time efficiently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A processing method includes determining a first target attitude of an electronic device according to a first detection data set obtained by a sensor set of the electronic device and determining an operating mode of the electronic device at least according to the first target attitude and a second target attitude. The second target attitude is determined according to a second detection data set obtained by the sensor set. Time of obtaining the second detection data set is earlier than time of obtaining the first detection data set.
