Touch-Sensitive Display Camera Manipulation for Security Monitoring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Security operators face challenges in quickly and effectively monitoring and responding to complex environments due to the complexity of information distribution and the need for intuitive access to features in multi-touch interaction devices.
Innovation Solution
Implementing intuitive gesture-based interaction techniques on touch-sensitive displays for security monitoring, allowing users to manipulate camera views, zoom, pan, and tilt using single-touch and multi-touch gestures, enhancing usability and response efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple features and functions are added to address security monitoring needs, then the system capability is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates because operators must remember when and how to access features
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides context-aware automatic suggestions for security features based on detected situations. The computer automatically determines when specific security features should be activated and presents them to operators, eliminating the need for operators to remember feature access conditions. The system serves itself by autonomously identifying appropriate security measures and presenting them for operator approval.
2Device complexity
If traditional interfaces are used for camera control, then device complexity is maintained, but response time deteriorates due to multiple steps required for zooming and panning
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the time-consuming intermediate steps from the camera control process. Instead of requiring operators to navigate through multiple menu options and settings, the system directly presents the essential camera control functions (zoom, pan, tilt) through context-aware suggestions, removing unnecessary computational and operational steps while maintaining the core control capabilities.
3Reliability
If comprehensive security monitoring features are implemented, then monitoring capability is improved, but information distribution complexity increases making it harder to access relevant information
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback mechanisms that continuously monitor the security environment and operator actions, then automatically adjust the presentation of security features and information. Based on feedback about current situations and operator needs, the system dynamically determines which features to suggest and how to distribute information, reducing complexity while maintaining comprehensive monitoring capability.

AI summary
A method of manipulating assets on a touch-sensitive display. The method includes showing a camera and a field of view of the camera on the touch-sensitive display. The method further includes detecting contact with the camera or the field of view of the camera on the touch-sensitive display, and manipulating the camera based on a gesture conducted on the camera or the field of view of the camera shown on the touch-sensitive display.
