Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current electronic devices require cumbersome manual processes to activate split screen functionality, limiting efficiency in multitasking scenarios where multiple applications need to be displayed simultaneously.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual button pressing method is used to activate split screen function, then the split screen function can be activated, but the operation process is cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical button-pressing operation with gesture recognition on a capacitive touch screen. The system detects capacitive changes caused by finger gestures (such as three-finger upward sliding) and automatically triggers the split screen function, eliminating the need for manual button pressing and reducing activation time
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service operation by automatically detecting user gestures and initiating the split screen function without requiring the user to manually search for or press specific buttons. The capacitive touch screen itself serves as both the input device and the interface for activating the function
2Productivity
If gesture recognition is used to activate split screen function, then the activation speed is improved, but the gesture detection complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The capacitive touch screen is utilized for multiple purposes: it serves as both the display interface and the gesture detection sensor. The existing capacitive sensing capability, originally designed for basic touch input, is extended to recognize complex multi-finger gestures, avoiding the need for separate gesture detection hardware and reducing overall system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The system detects gestures by monitoring changes in capacitive parameters (electrical charge distribution) on the touch screen surface. By analyzing patterns in these capacitive changes corresponding to different finger configurations and motion trajectories, the system can distinguish between various gestures without requiring additional sensors
