Solution Overview

Problem

Existing portable headset imaging devices face challenges in user-adjustment accuracy due to external adjustment devices that reduce portability or hard buttons that cause device offset during adjustment, affecting the stereoscopic image experience.

Innovation Solution

A portable device with touch sensors on its sides that detect gesture operations to generate adjustment commands for translating or zooming images, enhancing user experience by stabilizing the device and aligning with physiological habits.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If an external adjustment device is provided with the portable device, then the image can be adjusted, but the portability is reduced and the device size increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage adjustment capabilityVSAvoiddevice portability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates the adjustment functionality directly into the portable device body by using gesture recognition on the display screen. The adjustment commands are generated through software processing of touch gestures rather than through separate external adjustment devices. This merging of functions eliminates the need for additional external components while maintaining the image adjustment capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical adjustment mechanisms (such as physical buttons, knobs, or external adjustment devices) with a touch-based gesture recognition system. Users interact with the display screen through touch gestures, and the system processes these gestures to generate adjustment commands. This substitution eliminates mechanical components and reduces device volume while maintaining adjustment functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Ease of operation

If hard buttons, knobs, and switches are provided on the portable device for adjustment, then the image can be adjusted, but the device position offset or jitter occurs during operation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage adjustment capabilityVSAvoiddevice stability during adjustment
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces mechanical adjustment controls (buttons, knobs, switches) with a touch-sensitive display interface. Users perform gesture operations directly on the display screen, and the system generates adjustment commands through software processing. This eliminates the need for physical mechanical components that could cause device offset or jitter, thereby improving stability during adjustment operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The display screen serves as an intermediary between the user and the adjustment function. Instead of direct mechanical interaction that could destabilize the device, the system uses touch gestures on the screen as an intermediate interface. The gesture recognition software translates these touch inputs into adjustment commands, providing a stable and precise adjustment mechanism without physical contact with adjustment components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Stability of the object's composition

If gesture operations are detected on the display screen, then the device remains stable during adjustment, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice stability during adjustmentVSAvoidgesture recognition system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display screen serves multiple functions: it displays images and simultaneously serves as the input interface for gesture-based adjustment operations. The touch-sensitive display integrates display and control functions into a single component, avoiding the need for separate adjustment mechanisms. This multi-functionality reduces overall system complexity despite the added gesture recognition capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The display screen is self-sufficient, serving both as the output display and the input control interface. The gesture recognition system utilizes the existing touch-sensitive display infrastructure without requiring additional dedicated adjustment components. This self-service approach allows the display to handle both visualization and control functions, simplifying the overall system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
