Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens for the delivery of stone and scissors paper clues! CTOnews.com, August 1 (Xinhua)-- the patent "method and device for hand-held steering wheel gesture interaction for control" applied by Huawei Technology Co., Ltd. has been announced, allowing users to perform multiple function selections using a small number of unique commands.

CTOnews.com learned from the patent summary that the application describes a method, device and processor-readable medium for hand-held steering wheel gesture control. The steering wheel is virtually divided into a plurality of radial segments. Each paragraph is endowed with semantic meaning. Control commands related to the control function are mapped to different virtual segments of the steering wheel. When the user executes the gesture on the steering wheel, the system recognizes the gesture and selects a control function based on the position of the hand relative to the steering wheel.

In various embodiments, gestures on the steering wheel, hand positions on the steering wheel, and voice commands can be used in various combinations to enable the user to perform multiple function selections using a small number of unique commands.

The patent mentions that past vehicle control designs relied heavily on physical buttons and knobs, which could cause safety problems while driving and affect the driver's driving experience. In recent years, car companies have widely used touch screen interaction to replace traditional buttons and knobs.

While the touchscreen interface may have a better look, the basic problems that affect safety and driving experience remain. Drivers still need to take their hands off the steering wheel and switch their eyes over and over again. In some cases, touchscreen interaction may require more attention than using buttons or knobs.
