Problem

There is a need for a display device that effectively promotes brand awareness and allegiance, capable of being securely attached to various objects such as bags and straps, while allowing for easy image replacement and customization.

Innovation Solution

An attachable display device with a display part and a mounting part that wraps around objects, featuring a securing portion that engages holes in the mounting part to secure the device, along with options for removable covers and magnetic attachments to facilitate image display and customization.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the display device is designed to be securely attached to various objects, then the reliability of attachment is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveattachment reliabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The display device is divided into separate functional components: a display part for showing images and a mounting part for attachment. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently - the mounting part with its hole structure provides secure attachment while the display part handles visualization, reducing overall device complexity while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The mounting part is designed with a universal hole structure that can attach to various objects (bags, straps, equipment) through a single securing portion mechanism. This multi-functionality approach allows the same attachment system to work across different applications without requiring object-specific designs, improving reliability without proportionally increasing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If the image can be easily replaced and customized, then the ease of operation is improved, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage replacement easeVSAvoidmanufacturing precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The display area is separated from the mounting structure, allowing the image display component to be independently replaced without affecting the attachment mechanism. This segmentation enables users to swap images while maintaining the same secure mounting, improving ease of operation without requiring precision changes to the mounting holes or securing portions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

A removable cover is introduced as an intermediary component between the display area and the mounting part. This cover can be easily removed and replaced to change images, while the mounting part with its pre-defined holes maintains consistent positioning. The intermediary cover absorbs the variability in image content while the mounting structure maintains manufacturing precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If the display device is made adaptable to different objects, then the adaptability is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveobject adaptabilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mounting part incorporates a universal hole structure and securing portion design that can accommodate various objects including bags, straps, and equipment. This single standardized attachment mechanism provides adaptability across multiple applications without requiring object-specific components, thereby improving versatility without proportionally increasing device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

By separating the mounting part from the display part, the device achieves adaptability through the standardized mounting interface while keeping the display component simple and interchangeable. This segmentation allows the same mounting system to serve multiple objects while the display part can be customized or replaced as needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

An attachable display device that promotes brand awareness is provided. The device includes a display part having a display area to display an image and a securing portion and a mounting part having an upper portion disposed and secured inside the display part and a lower portion having at least one hole defined therein. The mounting part wraps around an object such that the securing portion engages the at least one hole to secure the display device to the object.
