Gesture Recognition for Object Information Transfer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems require cumbersome processes for users to interact with digital devices by capturing and processing images of information on objects like papers and books, lacking direct and simple interaction methods.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that sense user gestures to provide information about objects, allowing a first device to capture and transmit content to a connected second device for output, enabling direct interaction between analogue objects and digital devices through short-range wireless communication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a user captures and processes images of information on papers using a camera, then information can be stored in a mobile device, but the interaction process becomes cumbersome and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical image capture and post-processing system with an optical recognition system. The recognition unit directly captures and interprets information from papers using optical patterns (QR codes, barcodes, or visual features), converting physical information into digital format without requiring manual image processing steps.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary recognition unit that acts as a bridge between physical papers and digital devices. This recognition unit contains recognition information that enables direct communication and data transfer, eliminating the need for users to manually capture and process images.
2Loss of information
If a scanner or camera is used to capture information from papers, then information can be recognized and transmitted to digital devices, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the recognition unit universal by enabling it to recognize multiple types of information formats (QR codes, barcodes, visual features) and transfer data to various digital devices (mobile devices, PCs). This multi-functionality reduces the need for multiple specialized devices while maintaining recognition accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses optical patterns (QR codes, barcodes) as simplified copies or representations of information that can be easily captured and decoded. These patterns serve as intermediate representations that simplify the recognition process compared to analyzing general images or text.
3Loss of information
If post-processing is performed on captured images to store information, then information can be saved in digital format, but the time required for information transfer increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary encoding of information into recognizable optical patterns (QR codes, barcodes) on the physical papers before the recognition process. This preliminary preparation enables the recognition unit to directly decode and transfer information without requiring time-consuming post-processing of captured images.

AI summary
A method of providing information related to an object is provided. The method includes sensing a gesture related to the object located in a certain area via a first device, obtaining content related to the object according to the sensed gesture, and transmitting the obtained content to a second device that is connected with the first device in a network, wherein the content is output via the second device.
