Solution Overview

Problem

Current remote controls for large screen displays are not user-friendly, requiring tedious settings and failing to remember individual user preferences, leading to suboptimal viewing experiences for diverse family members with different watch preferences.

Innovation Solution

A mode configuration method and apparatus that uses face recognition technology to obtain user preferences and automatically configure video settings, including signal source, volume, watch mode, and category, through a camera-equipped terminal device and server, allowing personalized settings and recommendations based on user identity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a remote control is used for switching signal sources, adjusting volume, and configuring watch settings, then the large screen display can be controlled, but the operation becomes tedious and user preferences cannot be remembered

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidtime for settings
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically identifying users through face recognition and configuring appropriate watch settings without requiring manual intervention. The terminal device autonomously completes tasks such as switching signal sources, adjusting volume, and selecting watch categories based on the identified user's preferences, eliminating the need for tedious remote control operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical remote control system with an automated facial recognition and intelligent control system. Instead of manually operating a remote control, the system uses camera-based face recognition technology combined with artificial intelligence to automatically detect user identity and apply pre-configured settings, substituting mechanical interaction with automated optical and computational processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Adaptability or versatility

If manual settings are required for each user's preferences, then personalized control is possible, but the complexity of operation increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalized settingsVSAvoidcomplexity of settings
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-configuring watch settings for multiple users during the face registration process. When a user is identified through face recognition, the system automatically applies their pre-stored preferences for signal source, volume, watch category, and other parameters, eliminating the need for real-time manual configuration and reducing operational complexity while maintaining high adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal device achieves universality by implementing a multi-functional system that combines face recognition, user identification, automatic parameter adjustment, and video resource recommendation. This integrated system handles multiple control functions (signal switching, volume adjustment, category selection) through a single automated interface, reducing the need for separate configuration processes for each function.

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

3Measurement precision

If face recognition technology is implemented for user identification, then recognition accuracy improves, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecognition accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary approach by first performing face detection to locate the user's face, then extracting face features, and finally matching them against registered templates. This multi-stage process with intermediate steps (detection → feature extraction → matching) improves recognition accuracy while managing system complexity through modular processing stages, where each stage builds upon the previous one.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
