Motion Sensor Remote Controller for Gesture-Based Image Conversion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional remote controllers for smart TVs require users to search for specific buttons and navigate multiple controllers for image manipulation, which is inefficient and costly, especially when implementing features like zooming and rotating images without a touch screen.
Innovation Solution
A remote controller equipped with motion detection sensors (gyro, acceleration, terrestrial magnetic, and distance sensors) that generates control signals to convert images displayed on a smart TV by detecting user motions, allowing for zooming, rotating, and other image manipulations using a single controller.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a touch screen is implemented on the display apparatus for image manipulation, then image conversion functionality is improved, but device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
A remote controller serves as an intermediary device between the user and the display apparatus. The remote controller includes motion detection sensors (gyro sensor, acceleration sensor) that detect user gestures and transmit control signals to the display apparatus, enabling image conversion without requiring a touch screen on the display apparatus itself.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical touch interface (touch screen) with a motion detection system using gyro sensors and acceleration sensors in the remote controller. These sensors detect physical gestures and convert them into control signals, substituting the need for direct contact with the display apparatus.
2Adaptability or versatility
If two remote controllers are used for multi-touch functionality, then image conversion capability is improved, but cost and ease of operation worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The remote controller is designed with multi-functionality, integrating both gesture detection (via gyro and acceleration sensors) and button input capabilities into a single device. This universal remote can perform various image conversion operations (zooming, rotating, panning) using different gesture types, eliminating the need for multiple specialized controllers.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the functionality of multiple remote controllers into a single device by combining motion detection sensors (gyro, acceleration) with traditional button inputs. This unified remote controller can detect various gestures (rotational, linear, tapping) and execute corresponding image conversion operations, consolidating what would otherwise require separate controllers.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple buttons are added for image manipulation, then image conversion functionality is improved, but device complexity and ease of operation worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces mechanical buttons with motion detection sensors (gyro sensor, acceleration sensor) that detect user gestures in three-dimensional space. Instead of requiring users to locate and press specific buttons for zooming, rotating, or panning images, the system interprets natural hand gestures, reducing the number of physical buttons needed while maintaining comprehensive image conversion functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The remote controller uses dynamic motion detection to interpret various gestures (rotational movements, linear movements, tapping motions) for different image conversion operations. The gyro and acceleration sensors continuously monitor the remote controller's movement in real-time, dynamically mapping detected motions to corresponding control commands, thereby replacing static button presses with dynamic gesture recognition.
