Remote Control Device Orientation-Based External Device Registration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing remote control systems require multiple user inputs for device registration, leading to user discomfort and confusion, especially when nearby devices are included in the registrable list.
Innovation Solution
A remote control device and display system that uses identification information and angle recognition to automatically register and control external devices, providing feedback effects and user interfaces based on orientation, minimizing user intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional device registration methods are used requiring multiple user inputs, then device registration can be completed, but user comfort deteriorates and operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic device registration by having the remote control device autonomously search for external devices, receive identification information, and complete registration without requiring multiple user inputs. The remote control device performs self-service operations including device search, information reception, and registration execution.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by having the remote control device search for external devices and receive identification information before the user needs to register a device. This pre-preparation eliminates the need for complex user input during the registration process.
2Adaptability or versatility
If nearby devices are included in the registrable list, then more devices can be registered, but user confusion increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides feedback by displaying information about the searched external device on a screen of the remote control device or another display device. This visual feedback helps the user identify which device is being registered, preventing confusion even when multiple nearby devices are available.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses different visual indicators including color changes and icon displays to differentiate between multiple external devices. This visual differentiation helps users clearly identify the target device for registration among nearby devices.
3Extent of automation
If automatic device search is implemented, then user intervention is minimized, but device identification accuracy may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system displays identification information of searched devices on a screen, providing visual feedback that allows users to confirm the correct device is being registered. This feedback mechanism maintains identification accuracy while preserving automatic search functionality.
Data Source
AI summary
A display system is disclosed. The display system comprises a remote control device and a display device. The remote control device receives identification information about an external device from the external device, recognizes the angle of communication with the external device, and transmits the identification information and information about the angle to the display device. The display device identifies the external device on the basis of the information about the angle, and registers the identified external device as an operable external device when the remote control device is determined to have received the identification information while oriented toward the external device.
