Solution Overview
Problem
Current interactive interfaces for robots, such as sweeping robots, are complex and inconvenient for users, making it difficult to access and utilize important functions like manual remote control, leading to a poor user experience, especially for new users who are unaware of these features.
Innovation Solution
An interactive method and apparatus that displays a control interface with a motion map and an identifier of the robot, allowing users to easily find and control robot functions by inputting operations on the identifier, which corresponds to specific functions like remote control, device search, and fixed-point moving, simplifying the interaction logic and improving user convenience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a complex interactive interface is provided with multiple functions, then the robot's functionality is comprehensive, but the user experience deteriorates due to difficulty in accessing important functions
Solution Approach 1:
The interface is segmented into distinct functional areas: a motion map display area and a robot identifier area. The robot identifier is positioned as a separate, easily accessible element within the motion map, allowing users to quickly access remote control functions without navigating through complex menus. This segmentation maintains comprehensive functionality while improving ease of access to key features.
Solution Approach 2:
The remote control function is extracted from the general control interface and represented by a dedicated robot identifier element within the motion map. This extracted element can be directly interacted with to activate remote control, separating the most important function from the complex overall interface structure, thereby improving user experience while maintaining full functionality.
2Device complexity
If multiple control functions are integrated into one interface, then the device complexity is reduced, but the difficulty of detecting and measuring important functions increases
Solution Approach 1:
The robot identifier within the motion map is given special visual prominence and interactive properties that distinguish it from other interface elements. This local quality enhancement makes the remote control function easily detectable despite being integrated into the overall control interface, solving the problem of function accessibility while maintaining interface integration.
Solution Approach 2:
The robot identifier is merged with the motion map display, combining the functional representation of the robot's location with the control access point. This merging reduces interface complexity by eliminating separate control panels while ensuring the remote control function remains easily detectable through its integration into the visually prominent motion map.
3Ease of operation
If a simple control interface is provided, then the ease of operation is improved, but the quantity of functions available is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The robot identifier serves multiple functions simultaneously: it displays the robot's location within the motion map, acts as a visual indicator of robot status, and functions as a direct control element for activating remote control. This multi-functionality maintains a simple, convenient interface while providing access to comprehensive robot control capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The robot identifier acts as an intermediary element that bridges the simple visual display of the motion map and the complex remote control functions. By interacting with this intermediary, users can access comprehensive robot control capabilities through a simple, intuitive interface element, maintaining both ease of operation and function availability.
