Solution Overview

Problem

In-vehicle devices experience malfunctions during continuous touch operations due to acceleration operations, which can result in incorrect cursor positioning and failure to determine touch operations correctly, especially when using HID packets for mouse-like operations.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a system where the in-vehicle device delays transmission of operation information for subsequent touch operations by a predetermined interval time, limiting the number of delayed transmissions, and setting optimal interval times based on policy files from a server, to prevent acceleration processing and ensure accurate touch operation recognition.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If operation information representing displacement quantities is continuously input within a predetermined time, then the cursor can move to a desired position with a relatively small amount of operation through acceleration processing, but the portable terminal cannot accurately determine touch operations and malfunctions occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecursor movement efficiencyVSAvoidtouch operation determination accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The in-vehicle device applies preliminary anti-action by detecting continuous touch operations and actively suppressing the generation of operation information that would trigger acceleration processing. The control unit determines whether touch operations are continuous based on timing intervals and prevents the transmission of displacement quantity information that would cause the portable terminal to incorrectly interpret the operations as acceleration movements, thereby counteracting the potential malfunction before it occurs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action

2Measurement precision

If operation information is transmitted for every touch operation, then accurate touch operation recognition is achieved, but the number of data transmissions increases and power consumption rises

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetouch operation recognition accuracyVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies partial action by selectively transmitting operation information only when necessary. The control unit transmits operation information for individual touch operations unless they are determined to be continuous operations that would trigger acceleration processing. This partial transmission approach maintains accurate touch operation recognition for valid operations while reducing the overall number of data transmissions and associated power consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Productivity

If the in-vehicle device transmits operation information continuously, then the portable terminal can respond to all user inputs, but acceleration processing is triggered causing incorrect cursor positioning

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse speedVSAvoidcursor positioning accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring the timing intervals between successive touch operations and using this information to control the transmission of operation information. The control unit measures the time elapsed since the previous touch operation and uses this feedback to determine whether to transmit operation information, thereby preventing the triggering of acceleration processing while maintaining responsive cursor movement for valid operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A display device configured to be connected to an information terminal, includes: a video reception unit that receives video information about a screen including a cursor from the information terminal; a touch panel that brings up the screen on display based on the video information received by the video reception unit and detects a touch position specified by a touch operation; and a transmission unit that transmits operation information in correspondence to the touch operation to the information terminal. The transmission unit transmits the operation information in a delay when the touch operation is performed continuously.
