Unified Gesture Control Center for Multi-Device Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current gesture control methods require multiple devices to have their own cameras and identification software, leading to resource wastage and potential malfunctions, and are not convenient for controlling devices without this capability, as users need to learn different control tools for each device.
Innovation Solution
A unified gesture control system using a gesture control center that identifies devices and converts gestures into manipulation commands, allowing control of multiple devices with a single identification device, eliminating the need for individual camera-equipped devices and providing a convenient control method for devices without gesture identification capabilities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If each device is equipped with its own camera and gesture identification software, then gesture control can be implemented on each device, but it results in resource waste and potential malfunctions during gesture identification
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by enabling a single gesture control center to serve multiple devices. The gesture control center is designed to identify gestures and determine which device the gesture targets, allowing one camera and identification software system to control multiple different devices (TV, set-top box, etc.) without needing separate systems for each device.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a gesture control center as an intermediary between the user's gesture and the target device. This mediator receives the gesture input, identifies the intended target device, and forwards the control command appropriately, eliminating the need for each device to have its own camera and identification software.
2Ease of operation
If multiple devices have their own gesture identification systems, then each device can be controlled independently, but it increases device complexity and cost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the gesture identification functionality from individual devices and consolidates it into a separate gesture control center. This allows devices to be controlled independently through gestures without each device needing to contain the complex camera and identification software components.
3Adaptability or versatility
If devices without cameras use gesture control, then more devices can be controlled, but it requires adding gesture identification components to each device
Solution Approach 1:
The gesture control center provides universal control capability that can work with any device in the network without requiring the devices themselves to be modified with cameras or identification software. This maintains ease of manufacture for devices while achieving broad compatibility.

AI summary
Disclosed are a gesture control method, device and system, during gesture control, a gesture control center identifies a gesture for a controlled device, and transmits manipulation information corresponding to an identified gesture to the controlled device; and the controlled device performs a corresponding operation according to received manipulation information. By means of gesture control techniques according to the disclosure, it is possible to ensure that gesture manipulation of multiple devices can be implemented by only one gesture identification device such as the gesture control center, and thus a unified gesture control is implemented, thereby avoiding possible malfunctions that may be generated during gesture control of different devices and also avoiding a waste of resources; furthermore, it is possible to provide a convenient manipulation way to devices that don't support manipulation through gesture identification and save costs for those devices to be added with a gesture identification component, and all above benefits improve effectively user satisfaction.
