Touch Remote Controller Gesture Navigation for Display Content
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display apparatuses face challenges in providing a convenient and efficient user interface for searching multiple image contents, as traditional remote controllers with buttons are cumbersome for navigating through numerous options.
Innovation Solution
A display apparatus with a remote controller featuring a touch input unit that detects user motion, allowing for intuitive gestures to navigate and select content information windows, which enter or exit the screen based on user input, enabling easy categorization and page changes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional button-based remote controllers are used, then device simplicity is maintained, but ease of operation deteriorates due to cumbersome navigation through numerous image contents
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical button-based remote control system with a touch-sensitive interface that detects user gestures. The touch input unit senses touch patterns (single touch, double touch, sliding gestures) and transmits corresponding control signals to the display apparatus, eliminating the need for physical buttons while improving ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The touch input unit serves multiple functions: it detects single touches for basic navigation, double touches for accessing additional options, and sliding gestures for rapid scrolling through content lists. This multi-functional design allows one component to replace what would traditionally require multiple specialized buttons and controls.
2Adaptability or versatility
If numerous image contents are provided, then adaptability improves, but ease of operation deteriorates due to difficulty in searching and selecting desired content
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic response to different touch patterns. When a user performs a sliding gesture, the system dynamically adjusts the scrolling speed and content display based on the gesture characteristics. Double touches trigger dynamic expansion of content categories or filtering options, allowing users to quickly navigate through large numbers of image contents adapted to their specific needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides visual feedback on the display apparatus showing which content is currently selected or being viewed. When users interact with the touch input unit, the display apparatus responds by highlighting relevant content, showing thumbnails, or presenting content information, enabling users to efficiently search through numerous image contents with immediate visual confirmation of their selections.

AI summary
A display apparatus includes: an image processor; a display unit; a remote controller which includes a touch input unit to detect motion of a user; a remote control signal receiver which receives a remote control signal from the remote controller corresponding to the motion of a user; and a controller which displays the content information window as if the content information window enters from an outside of a display area to an inside of the display area in accordance with the motion that a user moves from an outside of an area of the touch input unit to an inside of the area, or stops displaying the content information window as if the content information window exits from the inside of the display area to the outside of the display area in accordance with the motion that a user moves from the inside of the area of the touch input unit to the outside of the touch input unit.
