Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices, such as head-mounted displays, struggle to accommodate users with varying body types due to fixed structural configurations, leading to discomfort and poor fit.
Innovation Solution
Incorporation of a rotating member with inclined surfaces and a locking structure that allows adjustable spacing between housings, enabling customizable fit by rotating and moving components to accommodate different user body types.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed structural configuration is used, then the device structure is simple and stable, but it cannot accommodate users with varying body types
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the fixed housing structure into an adjustable one. The distance between the first and second housings can be modified through the rotating member and moving members, allowing the device to adapt to different head sizes and shapes. This dynamic adjustment capability resolves the contradiction by enabling versatility without requiring multiple fixed configurations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the housing structure into adjustable components. The first housing, second housing, and intermediate moving members are separated to allow independent movement and adjustment. This segmentation enables the structure to be customized for different users while maintaining overall structural integrity, thus improving adaptability without excessive complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the distance between housings is fixed, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the device cannot fit diverse user anatomies
Solution Approach 1:
The adjustable distance mechanism between housings allows a single manufactured unit to be customized for different users. The rotating member with inclined surfaces and locking structure provides a controlled adjustment mechanism that can be integrated into standard manufacturing processes, balancing customization capability with manufacturing simplicity.
3Ease of operation
If adjustable components are added, then user comfort is improved, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The adjustable mechanism allows users to modify the device configuration for optimal comfort. The rotating member with inclined surfaces provides intuitive adjustment through rotational motion, while the locking structure maintains the selected position. This dynamic adjustment system improves ease of operation and user comfort.
Solution Approach 2:
The user can independently adjust the device to their own comfort requirements without external assistance. The adjustment mechanism is designed to be user-operable, allowing self-customization of the fit and positioning, thereby improving ease of operation.
