Touch Gesture Recognition for Non-Obstructive Detail Viewing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional techniques for viewing visual information on small electronic displays are unwieldy and uncomfortable, as they often require intrusive touch input gestures that block the user's view, especially when dealing with highly detailed images or maps on screens that are too small to display all elements at once.
Innovation Solution
The electronic device automatically displays certain details of visual information by detecting specific touch input gestures, such as 'swipe then hold' or 'hold then swipe,' allowing it to pan and zoom on objects of interest without obstructing the view, and enabling users to control the speed and direction of detail display through finger movement and screen orientation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional touch input gestures (pinch, pan) are used to view detailed visual information, then the user can zoom in and out to see details, but the user's fingers block a substantial part of the display, obstructing the view
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism (automatic object identification and sequential display system) between the user's touch gesture and the final detailed view. When the user performs a touch gesture, the system automatically identifies objects, determines their locations, and sequentially displays them in detail without requiring the user's finger to remain on the screen, thus eliminating view obstruction while maintaining detail viewing capability
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-identifying objects and their locations in the visual information before the user needs to view them in detail. This allows the system to automatically prepare and present detailed views of relevant objects in sequence, eliminating the need for continuous finger contact and obstruction during the viewing process
2Volume of moving object
If the display screen is made smaller to improve portability, then the device becomes more compact, but conventional zooming techniques become unwieldy and uncomfortable
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides self-service by automatically identifying objects, determining their locations, and sequentially displaying them in detail based on user preferences without requiring complex manual manipulation. This automated approach makes detailed viewing comfortable and practical on small, portable displays
3Measurement precision
If the user manually zooms and pans to view detailed elements, then the user can see specific areas in greater detail, but it requires substantial user effort and time
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically identifying objects, determining their locations, and sequentially displaying them in detail according to user preferences. This eliminates the need for users to manually zoom and pan through various areas, significantly reducing the time and effort required to view detailed elements while maintaining high detail visibility

AI summary
Systems, methods, and devices for displaying visual information on an electronic display are provided. For example, rather than requiring a user to manually pan and zoom across visual information displayed on an electronic display, an electronic device may automatically display certain details of the visual information that are of interest to the user. One such method may include defining objects in visual information and detecting certain specific touch input gestures entered on the electronic display while the electronic display is displaying the visual information. When the touch input gestures are detected, the electronic device may automatically display a sequence of the objects of the visual information on the electronic display.
