Solution Overview

Problem

Current human-computer interaction methods for mobile terminals require complex manual operations to determine operable objects, leading to increased dependence on user touch and decreased user experience, especially when dealing with large screens or inconvenient button positions.

Innovation Solution

An interaction method that acquires the moving direction and displacement of a mobile terminal to determine the target operable object based on preset conditions, allowing the device to automatically select and launch applications without manual touch operations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If manual touch operations are used to determine operable objects, then operation reliability is maintained, but operation complexity increases and user experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperation convenienceVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mobile terminal automatically determines the target operable object by detecting its own movement characteristics (acceleration, direction, displacement) without requiring manual touch operations. The system serves itself by using its motion state to identify which application or function the user intends to access, thereby eliminating complex manual interaction while maintaining operational reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical touch input system with a motion-based detection system. Instead of requiring physical contact with the screen or buttons, the system uses accelerometers and motion sensors to detect the device's movement characteristics and translate them into operational commands, substituting mechanical interaction with inertial sensing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Productivity

If manual touch operations are required for application switching, then operation precision is maintained, but interaction efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication switching efficiencyVSAvoidoperation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system continuously monitors the mobile terminal's movement state in advance, so when a user intends to switch applications by moving the device, the target operable object is already identified and prepared. This preliminary detection and identification process eliminates the time required for manual navigation and selection, enabling instant application switching based on motion intent

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Extent of automation

If complex manual operations are used to determine operable objects, then detection accuracy is maintained, but user dependence on manual touch increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic operable object determinationVSAvoidoperable object determination accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the detection parameters from static touch coordinates to dynamic motion characteristics including acceleration vectors, displacement magnitude, and movement duration. By analyzing these temporal and spatial parameters of device movement, the system accurately determines user intent to select specific operable objects without requiring manual touch, achieving both high automation and precise determination

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
