Non-Contact Gesture Control for Multi-Window Displays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile terminals with infrared sensors can only process input operations for a single window, limiting operability when multiple windows are displayed.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device equipped with a non-contact detection sensor, such as a proximity sensor, and a controller that allocates specific gestures to operations for multiple windows, allowing users to navigate and interact with multiple windows without physical contact, by determining and interpreting gestures to perform operations on displayed windows.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a mobile terminal uses an infrared sensor to recognize gestures for a single window, then gesture recognition capability is achieved, but operability for multiple windows is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the gesture recognition system by associating different gestures with different windows. Each window can be controlled by specific gestures, allowing independent operation of multiple windows. The controller identifies which window the user intends to operate and applies the appropriate gesture command to that specific window, enabling multi-window management while maintaining ease of operation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If only one window is displayed on the mobile terminal, then simple operation is maintained, but multi-window operability is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal gesture recognition system that works across multiple windows. The same infrared sensor and gesture detection mechanisms serve all displayed windows, making the system multi-functional. Different gestures can switch between windows or perform operations on active windows, providing versatile multi-window support without complicating the user interface or requiring additional sensors.

AI summary
An electronic device includes a non-contact detection sensor, a display, and a controller. The display displays a first window and a second window. The controller determines a first gesture and a second gesture by referring to the non-contact detection sensor, allocates operation of the first window to the first gesture, and allocates operation of the second window to the second gesture.
