Terminal Device Brain Wave Intention Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing terminal devices require a significant time period from stimulus perception to operation completion due to the need for muscle contraction and input processing, which can be prolonged by external stimuli and multiple task requirements.
Innovation Solution
A terminal device system that utilizes a brain-waves sensor to detect user intention before actual input, allowing pre-starting of processes and reducing the time to complete operations by using intention information to initiate processes before physical input is made.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If the terminal device waits for the user to complete the full operation sequence (stimulus perception to muscle contraction), then the operation accuracy is ensured, but the operation completion time is prolonged
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection of user intention through brain wave analysis before the user actually executes the physical operation. By identifying the intended operation from brain wave signals in advance, the terminal device can start processing the operation in advance, thus reducing the overall operation completion time without sacrificing accuracy since the actual operation still serves as confirmation
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses brain wave detection as a feedback mechanism to anticipate user intention. The detected brain wave patterns provide feedback about what operation the user intends to perform, allowing the system to prepare and reduce waiting time while maintaining reliability through the actual physical operation confirmation
2Productivity
If the terminal device processes operations sequentially after each input, then the processing accuracy is maintained, but the productivity is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
By detecting brain wave signals that indicate intended operations, the system can initiate processing actions before the user completes the physical input sequence. This preliminary action allows the system to start processing tasks in advance, improving productivity while the actual physical operation serves as confirmation to maintain precision

AI summary
A terminal device including: an input interface configured to receive an operation input by a user; an external communication interface configured to receive intention information of the user who performs the operation input from a sensor device, the sensor device being configured to detect intention of the user with respect to the operation input; a memory configured to store computer-readable instructions; and a processor configured to execute the computer-readable instructions so as to: identify the operation input which the user is going to perform based on the intention information before the input interface receives the operation input; start a process corresponding to the identified operation input; and perform a process corresponding to the operation input received by the input interface by using information relating to the already started process corresponding to the identified operation input when the input interference receives the operation input.
