Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional remote control systems require users to manually switch between standby and normal operation modes by pressing specific buttons, which can be cumbersome.
Innovation Solution
A remote control system utilizing acceleration detection means in the remote control device to automatically switch the main device between operation modes based on detected acceleration patterns, allowing for operation mode changes without pressing buttons.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual button pressing is used to switch operation modes, then the main device can be controlled to operate as desired, but the user operation becomes cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical button-pressing system with an acceleration detection system. The remote control device uses acceleration detection means to sense movement patterns, and the main device's operation control means interprets these patterns to trigger operations, substituting mechanical interaction with motion-based control.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service operation where the remote control device automatically detects user intent through acceleration patterns and transmits appropriate operation instructions without requiring manual button selection. The determination means in the remote control device autonomously decides which operation to transmit based on detected movement patterns.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple buttons are provided on the remote controller for different operations, then the main device can be fully controlled, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The acceleration detection means serves multiple functions: it detects not only power-on commands but also various operation instructions by interpreting different acceleration patterns. A single sensor replaces multiple dedicated buttons, with the determination means distinguishing between different operational intents based on movement characteristics.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the control parameter from discrete button states to continuous acceleration vectors. By monitoring acceleration magnitude, direction, and temporal patterns, the system encodes multiple operation types within a single detection mechanism, reducing physical complexity while maintaining versatility.
