Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
High-resolution terminal devices often make it inconvenient for users to perform operations, especially in upper corner areas, due to small buttons and uncomfortable navigation, which can be ergonomically challenging and inefficient.
Innovation Solution
A method for generating shortcuts on terminal devices by analyzing motion data to predict user actions, providing alternative operation methods before the user performs uncomfortable operations, using sensors like accelerometers and gyroscopes to detect habitual motions and classify operations as comfortable or uncomfortable, and generating shortcuts for predicted uncomfortable operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If high-resolution screens are used, then display quality is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to smaller buttons and uncomfortable navigation
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by detecting motion data and predicting user actions before the actual operation occurs. Shortcuts are generated in advance based on predicted uncomfortable operations, allowing users to access alternative input methods before encountering the difficulty of small button clicks on high-resolution screens.
Solution Approach 2:
Motion data and predictive algorithms serve as intermediaries between the user's intent and the actual operation. The system detects motion patterns, predicts the desired action, and provides shortcuts as intermediary input methods, bridging the gap between user intent and the difficult precision required for small buttons on high-resolution displays.
2Measurement precision
If precise button clicks are required on high-resolution screens, then measurement precision is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically detecting motion data, predicting user actions, and generating appropriate shortcuts without requiring precise manual input. The device serves itself by using its sensors and algorithms to anticipate user needs and provide alternative input methods, eliminating the need for users to perform difficult precision clicks.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical precision-clicking system with a motion-based predictive system. Instead of requiring precise physical button clicks, the system uses motion sensors and algorithms to detect and predict user intent, substituting the mechanical precision requirement with automated recognition and shortcut generation.
3Ease of operation
If motion data analysis is implemented to predict user actions, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The motion sensing system serves multiple functions: it detects user actions, predicts future operations, generates shortcuts, and provides alternative input methods. This multi-functionality justifies the added complexity by delivering comprehensive ease of operation improvements across multiple operational scenarios rather than adding complexity for a single specific function.
