Motion Recognition Display Control via Gesture Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices, such as digital broadcasting reception devices, have complex functions that are difficult to control efficiently using traditional infrared remote controllers, requiring users to constantly carry the remote controller for operation.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that utilize a motion recognition unit to recognize user gestures, such as hand motions, and a control unit to perform corresponding functions on the display device, allowing users to control the device through intuitive hand motions without a separate remote controller.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional infrared remote controller is used to control display device, then control function is provided, but control efficiency is low and user convenience deteriorates due to complex functions and need to constantly carry remote controller
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the control function from the physical remote controller and integrates it into the display device itself through motion recognition technology. The display device now recognizes user gestures directly, eliminating the need for a separate remote controller and simplifying the control system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical infrared remote control system with a motion recognition system that uses cameras and image processing to detect and interpret user gestures. This substitution eliminates the need for physical remote controllers and infrared communication hardware.
2Productivity
If motion recognition is implemented for control, then control efficiency and user convenience improve, but device complexity increases due to addition of motion recognition unit and processing systems
Solution Approach 1:
The motion recognition unit serves multiple functions: it detects user gestures for control, provides visual feedback through indicators, and enables various control operations. This multi-functionality justifies the added complexity by consolidating control and feedback capabilities into a single integrated system.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by displaying indicators that show recognized motions and corresponding functions to users. This feedback mechanism improves control efficiency by confirming system understanding of user intent, reducing errors, and guiding users through the control process.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple functions are integrated in display device, then functionality increases, but ease of control deteriorates due to increased number of control items
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic control where the displayed indicator changes based on the recognized motion. The system adapts its interface in real-time by showing only the relevant function corresponding to the detected gesture, rather than presenting all available functions simultaneously. This dynamic adaptation simplifies control despite multiple available functions.

AI summary
Disclosed herein are a display device and a control method thereof. The method includes recognizing a first motion to start to control the display device of a user; performing an indicator in response to the recognized first motion; recognizing a second motion; and displaying information of at least one of the recognized second motion and the display device's function corresponding to the second motion using the indicator.
