Touchscreen Device Force Track Operation Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current touchscreen devices using Force Touch technology can only perform a single operation when detecting a user's firm press, limiting the number of identifiable operations and resulting in a low user experience.
Innovation Solution
A touchscreen device detects pressing force track information, determining corresponding operations based on the pressing force level and duration, and performs the appropriate action, allowing for multiple operations to be executed based on different pressing force track information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a touchscreen device detects a user's firm press to perform a corresponding operation, then the device can implement Force Touch functionality, but only a single operation can be performed resulting in limited identifiable operations and low user experience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the pressing force detection into multiple discrete force levels (first pressing force level, second pressing force level, etc.). Instead of treating press detection as a single binary state, the system divides the force range into segments, each corresponding to different operations. This allows multiple identifiable operations to be performed while maintaining a relatively simple detection mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of pressing force detection from a single threshold-based binary detection to multi-level force magnitude detection. By detecting different magnitudes of pressing force (first level, second level, third level), the system can identify multiple different operations corresponding to different force levels, thereby increasing the number of identifiable operations without significantly increasing device complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the touchscreen device uses simple press detection, then the device complexity is low, but the number of identifiable operations is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments pressing force into multiple levels (first, second, third pressing force levels) where each level corresponds to different operations. This segmentation allows the system to provide diverse operations while maintaining simple user interaction - users only need to press with different force magnitudes, which is intuitive and does not increase interaction complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the single touchscreen pressing action universal by enabling it to trigger multiple different operations based on force levels. Instead of requiring different input methods for different operations, a single pressing action with varying force levels can perform multiple functions, thereby increasing operation diversity while maintaining ease of operation.
