Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a physical operation device (keyboard, mouse, touch screen) is used for human-machine interaction, then operation control can be implemented, but portability and flexibility are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces physical mechanical operation devices (keyboard, mouse, touch screen) with a virtual operation interface displayed on an operation interface display unit. The image capturing module captures hand gesture images, and the central processing module converts these gestures into operation commands, substituting mechanical input methods with optical and computational processing to achieve portability without physical controllers.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a virtual copy of the operation interface displayed on the operation interface display unit, which replicates the functionality of physical devices. The system captures images of the user's hand gestures and processes them to generate control commands, effectively copying the interaction paradigm from physical devices to a virtual, portable interface.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a physical operation device is required for each controlled device, then precise control is achieved, but device complexity and operation difficulty increase when controlling multiple devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal portable operation device that can control multiple different types of devices (mobile phones, computers, televisions, audio equipment) through a single unified interface. The operation interface display unit displays operation interfaces for various devices, and the image capturing module with gesture recognition provides a standardized control method that adapts to different target devices, eliminating the need for separate physical controllers for each device.
3Ease of operation
If traditional physical interfaces are used, then operation control is reliable, but user convenience and interactivity are reduced in remote scenarios
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces mechanical physical interfaces with gesture-based optical interaction. The image capturing module captures hand gestures in space, and the central processing module translates these gestures into operation commands for remote devices. This substitution enables convenient remote control without requiring physical contact with traditional interfaces, improving user convenience and interaction efficiency in remote scenarios.

AI summary
A portable virtual input control device and a method thereof are provided, which can achieve a purpose of human-machine interaction and remote control. The portable virtual input control device comprises a main body, an operation interface display unit connected to the main body, an image capturing module adjacent to the main body, and a central processing module, built in the main body. The operation interface display unit is movably disposed in front of a head of the user for displaying an operation interface corresponding to a controlled device. The image capturing module captures a position image of a hand of the user outside the operation interface display unit. The central processing module transmits display data to the operation interface display unit to display the operation interface, and connected to the image capturing module for receiving the position image of the hand of the user captured by the image capturing module, and determining a control command input by the user according to the display data and the position image of the hand of the user.
