Gesture Input Mode Switching for Terminal Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing gesture control systems for intelligent devices require users to memorize numerous correspondences between specific gesture motions and operations, making them inconvenient to use.
Innovation Solution
The system enables a keyboard or mouse input mode based on mode-enabling gesture information, allowing users to perform tap or slide gestures to generate operation instructions corresponding to familiar keyboard or mouse operations, eliminating the need to memorize multiple correspondences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If gesture control arm ring detects bioelectricity change and arm physical action to trigger operations, then the device can implement intelligent interaction, but the user needs to remember many correspondences between gesture motions and operations which makes it extremely inconvenient to use
Solution Approach 1:
The patent copies the familiar keyboard and mouse input methods into the gesture control domain. By mapping gesture motions to correspond with keyboard keystrokes and mouse operations, users can leverage their existing knowledge of these conventional input methods rather than learning entirely new gesture languages. This copying approach maintains the versatility of gesture control while improving ease of operation through familiar patterns.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides multiple input modes (keyboard input mode and mouse input mode) within a single gesture control device. This multi-functionality allows users to choose the mode that best suits their needs and familiarizes them with conventional computing interactions, thereby reducing the learning curve and improving overall usability while maintaining adaptability across different operational contexts.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the system provides multiple input modes (keyboard and mouse), then the system becomes more versatile, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically switches between keyboard input mode and mouse input mode based on user needs. The mode switching capability allows the system to adapt its functionality without requiring separate physical devices for each input type. This dynamic approach provides versatility while managing device complexity by using a single unified platform that can transform between different operational modes.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Users can control intelligent devices in a familiar input mode environment using customary operations like tapping or sliding, without needing to remember specific gesture operations, enhancing usability and efficiency.
Implementation Method 1
The sensor set detects mechanical (e.g., bio-acoustic) energy transmitted through the body as a result of an action/performed by the body

AI summary
The present invention discloses an information processing method, apparatus, and device. In the information processing method, after mode-enabling gesture information input by a user is acquired, a corresponding input mode is entered according to the mode-enabling gesture information input by the user, and gesture information of the user is identified in a determined input mode; further, a user intention is identified according to a preset correspondence between gesture information and an operation instruction. The foregoing input mode includes a keyboard input mode and a mouse input mode. In this way, the user can implement convenient control of a terminal in a familiar input mode environment by using only a customary input operation manner, for example, a tap operation and a touch-slide operation. In this method, the apparatus and the device do not require the user to memorize multiple correspondences between gesture motions and operations. Only by implanting beforehand a correspondence between a customary basic input operation of a user and a standard keyboard and/or mouse operation event into a system, a purpose of controlling the terminal by the user in a customary operation manner can be achieved.
