Wearable Motion Content Transmission via Host Mediator
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wearable devices lack an efficient method to transmit content to external devices based on user-defined motions, often requiring direct pairing or complex user interfaces for content mapping and transmission.
Innovation Solution
A wearable device equipped with a communication unit, sensing unit, and control unit that recognizes user motions and requests content transmission to an external device when a predetermined motion is detected, allowing for indirect communication through a host device and supporting various communication methods like NFC, Bluetooth, and BAN signals.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If direct pairing is required for content transmission between wearable devices, then connection reliability is improved, but device complexity and ease of operation deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a host device as an intermediary to facilitate content transmission between wearable devices. The first wearable device sends content to the host device, which then forwards it to the second wearable device. This mediator approach maintains reliable connections through established host-device relationships while eliminating the need for direct pairing between wearable devices, thereby reducing operational complexity.
2Ease of operation
If motion-based content transmission is enabled, then ease of operation is improved, but loss of information deteriorates due to unrecognized motions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-defining specific motion patterns (such as shaking, rotating, or pressing the wearable device) that correspond to content transmission commands. The system recognizes these predetermined motion types and triggers appropriate actions, reducing information loss by focusing on identifiable, pre-planned gestures rather than attempting to interpret all possible user movements.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple communication methods are supported (NFC, Bluetooth, BAN), then adaptability is improved, but device complexity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements universality by enabling the wearable device and host device to support multiple communication protocols (NFC, Bluetooth, BAN) within a single system. This allows the devices to adapt to different communication scenarios and external device requirements without requiring separate specialized systems for each protocol, achieving versatility while managing complexity through integrated multi-functional design.
