One-Handed 3D Motion Controller for Intuitive Drone Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current drone controllers require manual operation with two hands, making it difficult for users to intuitively control drone movements and rotations, especially for beginners, and are not suitable for one-handed operation.
Innovation Solution
A one-handed object controller with a non-contact operating unit and control unit that uses relative position sensing to control drone movements and rotations, featuring a display for position feedback, tactile signals, and a user input unit for preset calibration and signal generation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a traditional two-handed controller is used, then the controller can provide precise control signals, but the ease of operation deteriorates and requires two hands
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the traditional mechanical stick-based control system with a non-contact operating unit that detects relative position changes in three-dimensional space. This substitution eliminates the need for physical contact and complex mechanical structures, enabling one-handed operation while maintaining precise control capabilities through spatial position detection.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a three-dimensional spatial detection dimension by using a non-contact operating unit that senses position changes in X, Y, and Z directions. This dimensional expansion allows the controller to capture complex motion intentions (including rotation and translation) through spatial displacement rather than requiring complex mechanical manipulations.
2Ease of operation
If a non-contact operating unit is used, then one-handed operation is enabled, but the measurement precision of relative position must be sufficiently high
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates a display unit that provides visual feedback by showing the relative position of the operating unit to the main body. This feedback mechanism helps users intuitively understand their hand movements and maintain precise control, compensating for the challenges of non-contact operation by providing real-time position information.
3Ease of operation
If the operating unit detects relative position in three directions, then intuitive control of drone movement and rotation is achieved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs the non-contact operating unit to perform multiple functions: detecting both translational movement and rotational intentions through three-dimensional position changes. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate control mechanisms for different drone operations, reducing overall system complexity while enabling intuitive control.
