Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Augmented reality glasses with fixed temples face issues of fragility during storage and limited battery capacity due to mechanical constraints, leading to short usage time and difficulty in integrating large-capacity batteries.
Innovation Solution
A case for augmented reality glasses with a hinge mechanism allowing temple folding, equipped with sensors and a processor that controls functions based on mounting state, folding state, and user wear state, enabling charging and power management to extend usage time.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the temple is designed in a fixed manner to contact the user's body, then the glasses structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the glasses may be fractured during storage and cannot be folded
Solution Approach 1:
The temple is designed with a hinge mechanism that allows it to transition between fixed and folded states. The hinge enables the temple to be dynamically adjusted - fixed during use for structural integrity and folded during storage to prevent fracture and enable compact case storage.
2Reliability
If the temple is made foldable to enable storage in a glasses case, then the glasses can be stored safely, but the mechanical characteristics make it difficult to mount a large-capacity battery
Solution Approach 1:
The glasses are divided into separate functional modules: the body unit containing the display and processing components, and the temple containing the hinge mechanism. This segmentation allows the battery to be mounted in the body unit where space is more available, while the temple maintains its foldable structure for storage convenience.
3Duration of action of moving object
If a large-capacity battery is mounted to extend usage time, then the battery life is improved, but the mechanical characteristics of the glasses make it difficult to accommodate
Solution Approach 1:
The battery is nested within the body unit of the glasses, utilizing the internal space efficiently. The body unit serves as a container that houses both the display components and the large-capacity battery, allowing the temple to remain lightweight and foldable while the battery extends usage time.
4Adaptability or versatility
If the glasses structure is changed to allow temple folding, then the glasses can be stored in a case, but no separate case capable of storing the glasses exists because the temple is fixed
Solution Approach 1:
The glasses case is designed to serve multiple functions: it stores the folded glasses compactly, provides charging capability through wireless charging, and protects the device during transport. The case's interior is shaped to accommodate the folded temple configuration, making the case universally suitable for this specific glasses model.
