Gesture-Based Car Key Control for Multi-Function Operation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing automobile remote control keys face challenges in extending their functionality due to a small surface area, leading to inconvenience in operating multiple functions, especially in dark environments or when the user has something in their hands, as they require memorization of complex button mappings.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating a sensor to obtain movement data, a control unit to recognize user motion patterns, and a wireless communication module to send corresponding commands to the vehicle control system, allowing for gesture-based control without the need to press specific buttons, with a self-definable and modifiable mapping relationship between motion patterns and control commands.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the number of function buttons on the remote control key is increased to extend vehicle control functions, then the versatility of the remote control is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to the small surface area and complex button mappings
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical button-pressing system with a gesture recognition system. Sensors detect motion patterns of the remote control key in space, and the control unit recognizes these patterns to trigger corresponding vehicle control functions. This eliminates the need for physical buttons and complex mapping relationships, allowing users to control multiple functions through intuitive gestures in the air.
2Adaptability or versatility
If combined buttons are used to increase the number of functions, then the versatility is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to the need to memorize mapping relationships
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical button combination system with a gesture recognition system. Instead of requiring users to memorize which button combinations correspond to which functions, the system detects the motion pattern of the remote control key in three-dimensional space and automatically recognizes the intended function. This eliminates the information memorization burden while maintaining multi-functionality.
3Adaptability or versatility
If more function buttons are added to the remote control key, then the versatility is improved, but the device complexity increases due to the limited surface area
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the button interface from the remote control key body and replaces it with a sensor-based gesture recognition system. The physical buttons are removed, and their functions are implemented through motion detection in space. This simplifies the remote control key structure while maintaining or even expanding its functional capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a two-dimensional button layout on the remote control key surface to a three-dimensional gesture recognition system. Users can perform gestures in spatial dimensions, allowing for more control functions without adding physical buttons to the limited key surface area.
