Wearable CGR Content Transfer via Gesture and Proximity Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies lack efficient methods for transferring content between wearable computer-generated reality (CGR) devices and external devices, such as display screens, while considering user intent and device proximity, leading to suboptimal utilization of device capabilities and user experience.
Innovation Solution
A wearable CGR device equipped with sensors and a controller that detects user gestures and intentions to transfer content to external devices, determining the destination and initiating the transfer based on view angles and device proximity, allowing seamless content transfer between devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If content transfer between wearable and external devices is implemented using conventional methods, then basic transfer functionality is achieved, but user intent detection and seamless transfer experience are lacking
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by continuously monitoring device proximity, view angles, and user gestures before a transfer is requested. The controller detects when the wearable device is near an external device, pre-identifies potential transfer targets, and waits for simple user confirmation through gestures, rather than requiring complex setup at the moment of transfer
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by automatically detecting user intent through gestures and environmental context without requiring manual device selection or complex menu navigation. The controller autonomously determines transfer targets based on gesture analysis and device proximity, executing transfers based on inferred user intent
2Productivity
If manual device selection is used for content transfer, then transfer accuracy is achieved, but transfer speed and user convenience deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring gesture inputs, device proximity, and view angle data to dynamically adjust transfer target identification. The controller processes real-time sensor data from the wearable device and external devices, providing continuous feedback loops that refine target selection accuracy while maintaining fast transfer speeds
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical selection operations with automated sensor-based detection systems. Instead of requiring users to manually select devices through menus or buttons, the system uses sensors to detect gestures, proximity, and spatial relationships, automatically identifying transfer targets through non-contact gesture recognition and environmental sensing
3Adaptability or versatility
If gesture-based intent detection is implemented, then user interaction intuitiveness is improved, but detection accuracy and false positive rates worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges multiple detection modalities including gesture recognition, device proximity sensing, and view angle analysis to complement each other. By combining these independent detection methods, the system achieves more reliable intent detection than any single method could provide alone, reducing false positives through cross-validation of multiple signals
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary gesture detection and validation before executing content transfer. The controller monitors gestures in advance, validates them against predefined criteria, and only initiates transfer when confidence thresholds are met, preventing premature or erroneous transfers while maintaining responsive user interaction
Data Source
AI summary
A wearable device configured to present first content to a user in combination with a view of an environment, and an external device is configured to present second content to the user. A controller associated with at least one of the wearable device or the external device is configured to detect an intention to transfer display of a content item between the wearable device and the external device, and to transfer display of the content item in response to detecting the intention.
