Electronic Pen Air Pointer Control Without Continuous Button Press
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic pen devices require continuous button pressing for air interaction, leading to wrist strain and difficulty in accurate pointer movement, especially for users with hand tremors, as they struggle to maintain precise control without continuous button input.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a communication module, display module, and processor that establishes a communication connection with the electronic pen, switches the operation state to an air pointer mode upon button input, acquires location information, and displays objects based on feature information, allowing air pointer operations to be maintained without continuous button pressing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If continuous button pressing is required for air interaction, then the electronic pen device can maintain air pointer operation, but the user experiences wrist strain and difficulty in accurate pointer movement
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by establishing air pointer operation mode through a button press, then automatically maintains this mode without requiring continuous button input. The processor proactively sustains the air pointer state and handles subsequent pointer movements and selections automatically, eliminating the need for continuous user intervention while maintaining operational reliability.
2Duration of action of moving object
If continuous button pressing is maintained for air interaction, then the electronic pen device can sustain operation, but users with hand tremors cannot perform accurate air pointer movement and selection
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically maintaining the air pointer operation mode and handling pointer movements without requiring continuous button input from the user. Once the air pointer mode is established through an initial button press, the system autonomously sustains the operation and processes subsequent movements, allowing users with hand tremors to maintain accurate control without continuous physical intervention.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the button is continuously pressed for air action, then the electronic pen device can maintain operation state, but the user experiences thumb strain
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from continuous periodic action (continuous button pressing) to a single periodic action (initial button press to establish mode), followed by automatic maintenance. The processor maintains the air pointer operation mode without requiring continuous input, thereby preserving operation state stability while eliminating repeated thumb strain from continuous button pressing.

AI summary
An electronic device and an operation method for controlling an operation of an electronic pen device may be provided. According to an embodiment, the process for controlling an electronic device may include controlling a communication module to establish a communication connection with the electronic pen device; switching an operation state of the electronic pen device into an air pointer operation state based on a first signal by a button input of the electronic pen device; acquiring location information of a display module when the button input is released and an air pointer operation is maintained; controlling the display module to display an object indicating the air pointer operation, based on feature information of at least one object displayed on the display module and the location information; and executing an operation corresponding to an action event of the electronic pen device.
