Multi-User Gesture Recognition via Dynamic Display Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic devices lack the ability to efficiently divide a display into multiple regions for simultaneous user interaction and content management, limiting their functionality in gesture-based user interfaces.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device equipped with a camera and controller that divides the display into multiple regions, recognizes gestures of multiple users, and controls these regions accordingly, allowing for personalized content management and adaptive screen modes based on user presence.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the display is divided into multiple regions for multiple users, then multiple users can simultaneously interact with the device, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display is divided into multiple independent display regions, each assigned to a specific user. Each region can independently display different content and respond to gestures from the corresponding user, enabling simultaneous multi-user interaction without interfering with each other.
Solution Approach 2:
A controller acts as an intermediary to manage the divided display regions. The controller receives gestures from multiple users, identifies which user made which gesture, and controls the corresponding display regions accordingly, simplifying the overall system management.
2Adaptability or versatility
If gesture recognition is implemented for multiple users, then personalized content control is enabled, but the measurement precision requirement increases
Solution Approach 1:
Different display regions are assigned to different users based on their physical locations. The system determines user locations from the captured image and divides the display accordingly, ensuring that gestures are accurately attributed to the correct user based on spatial correspondence between the user and the display region.
3Ease of operation
If the display mode automatically changes between overall and divided screens, then user convenience is improved, but the switching control complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects the number of users present through the camera and autonomously switches between overall screen mode and divided screen mode. When multiple users are detected, the display automatically divides into multiple regions; when a single user is detected, it returns to overall mode, eliminating the need for manual mode selection.
