Wearable Gesture Remote Control for Smart Home Automation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current remote control systems for intelligent household appliances require multiple controllers, leading to space inefficiency and user inconvenience, as they cannot achieve one-to-many control, and integrating remote control functions into smartphones results in poor user experience due to complex operations and attention switching.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for configuring a wireless remote control terminal through a third-party terminal, using a smart wearable device to establish wireless communication, generate configuration information, and associate user gestures with remote control functions, allowing seamless control of multiple devices without additional control centers or complex touch operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple physical remote controllers are used to control different devices, then each device can be controlled independently, but the space required increases and user convenience decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal remote controller that can control multiple different devices (air conditioner, television, set-top box, etc.) through a single device. The system uses gesture recognition technology to identify user intentions and automatically determines which device to control, eliminating the need for multiple dedicated remote controllers and reducing space occupation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If remote control functions are integrated into smartphones, then device integration is improved, but user experience deteriorates due to complex operations and attention switching
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical touch screen operation system with a gesture recognition system. Instead of requiring users to navigate complex menus and press buttons on a smartphone screen, the system recognizes physical gestures (such as waving patterns) to control devices, significantly simplifying operations and eliminating the need for attention switching between screen and device.
3Reliability
If traditional remote controllers are used, then device control is achieved, but one-to-many control capability is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a base station as an intermediary between the remote controller and multiple devices. The base station receives control signals from the remote controller, identifies the target device based on the gesture type and context, and forwards the appropriate control command. This mediator architecture enables one-to-many control while maintaining control accuracy through intelligent device identification.
