Virtual Motor Vehicle Engine Control with Tactile Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing virtual motor vehicle engine controlling systems only provide auditory and visual experiences, lacking tactile feedback, resulting in a poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
Incorporation of a tactile feedback unit within the virtual motor vehicle engine controlling system, connected to the processor, which generates vibration feedback in conjunction with sound and video play, simulating gear changes through distinct sounds, videos, and vibrations for different virtual gear states.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If only sound play controlling unit and video play controlling unit are used, then the system structure remains simple, but user experience is poor due to lack of tactile feedback
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple feedback modalities (visual, auditory, and tactile) into a unified virtual motor vehicle engine controlling system. The tactile feedback unit is integrated with the existing sound and video control units, creating a multi-sensory experience that merges different types of feedback mechanisms to enhance overall user experience.
Solution Approach 2:
The processor acts as an intermediary that coordinates between the control units and the tactile feedback unit. It receives signals from virtual buttons, processes the intended actions, and triggers appropriate tactile feedback patterns through the tactile feedback unit, mediating between user input and multi-sensory output.
2Ease of operation
If tactile feedback unit is added to provide comprehensive feedback, then user experience is enhanced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The tactile feedback unit serves multiple functions within the system - providing feedback for engine start/stop, gear changes, and other vehicle operations. This single component handles diverse feedback requirements, making the system more versatile while adding only one physical element rather than multiple separate mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where the tactile feedback unit provides immediate physical response to user actions on virtual buttons. This creates a closed-loop interaction where user input is immediately confirmed through tactile sensation, enhancing the realism and responsiveness of the virtual engine control experience.
