Solution Overview

Problem

Handheld gimbals struggle to accurately and quickly recognize user adjustments for switching between different shooting modes, particularly in side shooting scenarios, due to limitations in attitude detection and handling of the user's operation.

Innovation Solution

A control method for a handheld gimbal that includes a rotating assembly and a handle, which includes a rotating assembly connected to the handle, which includes a rotating assembly configured to carry a shooting device and drive it to rotate, and a control device with a processor to determine the attitude difference between the rotating assembly and the handle to determine the shooting mode.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional attitude detection methods are used, then the device structure remains simple, but the recognition accuracy of shooting modes is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecognition accuracy of shooting modesVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the attitude detection by separately acquiring attitudes of the rotating assembly and handle, then calculating their difference. This segmentation enables precise mode recognition through differential analysis without requiring a completely new detection system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the detection parameter from absolute attitude to relative attitude difference between rotating assembly and handle. This parameter transformation enables accurate identification of shooting modes while utilizing existing attitude detection capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If complex attitude detection algorithms are implemented, then the shooting mode recognition becomes accurate, but the response speed decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshooting mode recognition accuracyVSAvoidresponse speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential information needed for mode recognition by calculating the attitude difference between rotating assembly and handle. This extraction approach avoids complex full-state analysis while achieving accurate and fast mode identification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary attitude acquisition of both rotating assembly and handle before mode determination. This preliminary action prepares the data in advance, enabling rapid mode recognition when shooting mode switching is needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If manual switching between shooting modes is required, then the control system remains simple, but the ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconvenience of mode switchingVSAvoidcontrol system
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables the gimbal to automatically identify shooting modes by itself through attitude difference detection, eliminating the need for manual mode switching. The system serves itself by autonomously determining the appropriate shooting mode based on detected attitudes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback by continuously monitoring the attitude difference between rotating assembly and handle, and using this feedback to automatically determine and switch shooting modes. This closed-loop feedback enables convenient automatic mode adaptation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
