External Display Adaptation via Mobile Grip Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
User interface settings for larger displays associated with electronic devices are difficult to adjust, leading to user frustration as they are not easily customizable to individual preferences or needs.
Innovation Solution
The system determines a user's handedness and impairments, such as color blindness or hearing loss, by analyzing how they grip their mobile device and communicates specific configuration settings to an external presentation device to adapt the user interface, including the placement of buttons and audio levels, ensuring the interface is optimized for the user's preferences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If user interface settings for larger displays are made easily adjustable, then user satisfaction and accessibility improve, but device complexity and configuration management become more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by detecting user characteristics (handedness, impairments) in advance and automatically configuring the external display settings before the user needs to manually adjust them. The mobile device detects grip patterns and impairment indicators, then proactively transmits appropriate configuration settings to the external display, eliminating the need for users to navigate complex adjustment menus.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by allowing the external display to automatically receive and apply configuration settings based on user characteristics detected by the mobile device. The display device autonomously adjusts its user interface settings based on the transmitted configuration data, without requiring manual intervention from the user to navigate through complex adjustment options.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the system automatically configures external devices based on user characteristics, then accessibility and personalization improve, but information processing and communication requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the essential configuration settings needed for external display optimization and transmits them separately from the main content data. By isolating and transmitting only the critical user characteristic information and corresponding configuration parameters, the system minimizes overall data transmission requirements while still achieving comprehensive interface adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system efficiently manages information by changing parameters from detailed visual impairment descriptions to compact configuration setting codes. Instead of transmitting extensive information about user characteristics, the system converts these into condensed parameter representations that can be easily stored and applied by the external display device.
Data Source
AI summary
A mobile device communicates content to an external presentation device, such as a display device, for display or other presentation at the external presentation device. The mobile device identifies an impairment of a user of the mobile device. One or more configuration settings for a user interface of the external presentation device are determined based on the impairment of the user. These configuration settings are, for example, an indication of a particular audio level, an indication to perform text to speech, an indication of a particular type of color blindness, and so forth. The configuration settings are communicated to the external presentation device, allowing the external presentation device to be configured for or adapted to the impairment of the user.
