Gimbal Follow Parameter Adjustment Without Mobile APP Pairing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Handheld gimbals require users to connect a mobile phone to adjust follow parameters like speed and acceleration, which is time-consuming and inflexible, as settings are fixed once set and require a reset for changes.
Innovation Solution
A gimbal with a follow-configuration button and a processor that allows for adjusting follow parameters directly on the gimbal without a mobile APP, enabling flexible adjustments by detecting the button trigger and determining corresponding follow coefficients or speed coefficients for each axis.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users connect mobile phone via Bluetooth to adjust follow parameters, then parameter adjustment capability is provided, but operation time is wasted and flexibility is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the parameter adjustment function from the mobile phone APP and relocates it directly to the gimbal device. The follow-configuration button and its associated processing unit are integrated into the gimbal, allowing users to adjust follow parameters (speed, acceleration) directly on the device without needing to connect a mobile phone via Bluetooth. This extraction resolves the contradiction by eliminating the time-consuming connection process while maintaining full parameter adjustment capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The gimbal becomes self-service capable by incorporating the follow-configuration button and processing unit directly into the device. The system can detect button triggers and adjust follow parameters autonomously without external mobile phone intervention. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for mobile phone connection, saving time while preserving adaptability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If follow parameters are set once, then initial configuration is completed, but flexibility for future changes is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic parameter adjustment by providing a follow-configuration button that allows users to modify follow parameters (speed, acceleration) at any time during operation. The processing unit continuously monitors button triggers and updates parameters in real-time, transforming the static one-time configuration into a dynamic, continuously adjustable system. This resolves the contradiction by making parameter modification easy and flexible without requiring system resets.
3Measurement precision
If mobile APP connection is required for parameter adjustment, then precise parameter control is achieved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the parameter control functionality from the external mobile APP ecosystem and integrates it directly into the gimbal's processing unit. The follow-configuration button and its associated control logic are built into the device, eliminating the need for mobile phone connection and external APP infrastructure. This extraction maintains precise parameter control capability while significantly reducing system connection complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The processing unit acts as an intermediary that directly receives button trigger signals and translates them into parameter adjustments. This eliminates the need for the mobile phone and APP to serve as intermediaries between the user and the gimbal's control system. The direct communication path maintains control precision while reducing overall system complexity.

AI summary
A gimbal includes a follow-configuration button, a memory storing gimbal control instructions, and a processor configured to call the gimbal control instructions to detect whether the follow-configuration button is triggered and adjust a follow parameter of the gimbal for following a target object in response to the follow-configuration button being triggered.
