Gesture-Controlled Media Transfer Between Displays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for presenting customized product information, such as paper catalogs and image/video presentations, fail to provide a comprehensive and personalized visual experience, especially for products with numerous variations, leading to a mismatch between customer expectations and actual product configurations.
Innovation Solution
An electronic control device with a gesture capture unit and control unit that captures user input gestures to control the display of media content, transmitting identification information and image data to a display device to simulate the transfer of media content, allowing for interactive and personalized presentation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If media content is transmitted from electronic control device to display device, then the visual presentation capability is improved, but the transmission time and user perception of delay increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the media content transmission into two independent parts: (1) transmitting only identification information and a portion of image data from the electronic control device to the display device, and (2) the display device independently accessing and retrieving the remaining media content from the content server. This segmentation eliminates the need to transmit the entire media content file, significantly reducing transmission time while maintaining complete visual presentation capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary action by transmitting the identification information and initial image data before the complete media content is ready. The display device uses the received identification information to proactively access and retrieve the remaining media content from the content server in parallel, rather than waiting for sequential transmission. This overlapping of operations reduces perceived delay and improves user experience.
2Loss of information
If complete media content is transmitted to ensure quality visualization, then the visual quality is improved, but the data transmission volume and network load increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential components needed for initial display - the identification information and a portion of image data - from the complete media content. This extracted subset is transmitted to the display device, while the bulk of the media content remains on the content server. The display device uses the identification information to retrieve the remaining content as needed, dramatically reducing data transmission volume while ensuring complete visual quality is maintained through server-side delivery of the full content.

AI summary
The present invention relates to the display of media content on electronic devices and, in particular, to transfer of media content between electronic devices by gesture control. An electronic control device displays a representation of certain media content, which is accessible on a content server via a network. Further, the electronic control device captures a user input gesture and controls the display of the media content accordingly. When the captured user input gesture meets a certain condition, image data and identification information indicating the location of the media content on the content server are transmitted by the electronic control device to a display device. Upon reception of the image data, the display device displays the transmitted image. Further, upon reception of the identification information, the display device accesses the media content on the content server and, as soon as the media content has been accessed successfully, stops displaying of the image and starts displaying of a representation of the media content
