Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Wearable devices face challenges in miniaturization due to the need for physical buttons or touch panels for controlling functions, which occupy space and increase power consumption, while also requiring integration of multiple antenna modules operating in different frequency bands for advanced functionalities.
Innovation Solution
A semiconductor device package is designed with a substrate integrating a control module and a detecting/antenna module, where the control module and gesture-detecting module are combined on the same substrate, allowing for gesture detection and control of wearable device operations without physical buttons, and utilizing antennas operating in different frequency bands for enhanced functionality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If physical buttons or touch panels are used for controlling wearable device functions, then ease of operation is improved, but device volume increases and power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces mechanical buttons and touch panels with gesture recognition technology. The gesture-detecting module detects user gestures through motion sensors and other sensing elements, substituting physical control interfaces with contactless gesture-based control, thereby eliminating the need for space-consuming physical buttons while maintaining ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts and removes physical buttons and touch panels from the wearable device structure. By eliminating these physical control elements and replacing them with a gesture-detecting module, the device volume is reduced while control functionality is preserved through alternative means.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple antenna modules operating in different frequency bands are integrated, then adaptability is improved, but device volume increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple antenna modules into a unified antenna system integrated on a single substrate. The antenna module is designed to support multiple frequency bands (including 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 60GHz bands) through a consolidated structure rather than separate physical antennas, reducing overall device volume while maintaining adaptability across different frequency bands for WiFi, Bluetooth, and other wireless communications.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a universal antenna module that performs multiple functions across different frequency bands. The single antenna system is designed to operate across 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 60GHz bands, providing multi-band wireless communication capability without requiring separate dedicated antennas for each frequency band, thereby reducing device volume while enhancing adaptability.
3Ease of operation
If physical buttons are used for controlling wearable device functions, then ease of operation is improved, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces power-consuming physical buttons and touch panels with gesture recognition technology. The gesture-detecting module uses motion sensors and inertial measurement units that consume less power than continuous touch panel operation or physical button mechanisms, enabling contactless control while reducing overall power consumption of the wearable device.
