Remote Controller Mode Detection for Display Device
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices face difficulties in accurately selecting small items using a conventional remote controller, particularly when items are displayed across a screen, as commercially available remote controllers are designed for air use and lack precise coordinate recognition for different modes.
Innovation Solution
A display device and method that utilize a remote controller with 6-axis gyro sensors to determine its mode, converting data into coordinate values based on whether it's used in a mouse mode or remote controller mode, adjusting user interfaces and cursor speeds accordingly to enhance selection accuracy.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a conventional remote controller is used for air use, then the device complexity is reduced, but the measurement precision of coordinate recognition deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by enabling the remote controller to dynamically switch between two operational modes: air use mode and horizontal use mode. The controller automatically detects the usage scenario and adjusts its coordinate recognition algorithm accordingly, allowing it to function effectively in both orientations without requiring separate devices for each mode.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by modifying the coordinate recognition parameters based on the detected usage mode. When in horizontal use mode, the controller adjusts its sensitivity and coordinate mapping parameters to accurately recognize small item selections on the screen, whereas in air use mode, it uses parameters optimized for directional control and navigation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the remote controller supports both air and horizontal modes, then the adaptability improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing a single remote controller that performs multiple functions across different usage scenarios. The same hardware device can be used for both air-based directional control and horizontal surface-based precision selection, eliminating the need for separate controllers for different modes and maximizing the utility of a single device.
3Measurement precision
If coordinate conversion based on mode is implemented, then the measurement precision improves, but the processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring multiple coordinate recognition algorithms corresponding to different usage modes. The system determines the appropriate mode in advance based on sensor input or user selection, and then applies the corresponding pre-prepared algorithm, avoiding the need for complex real-time calculations and reducing processing delays.
