Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current automated mobile devices lack the ability to deliver items like food or drinks, facilitate communication, provide internet access, accommodate computers and tablets, and integrate health monitoring features in a single, adjustable, and operable unit, especially in home, hospital, or office settings.
Innovation Solution
An automated delivery table equipped with artificial intelligence, sensors, and a mobile communication app that allows remote control via voice or app commands, featuring adjustable height, navigation around obstacles, and integration of communication, entertainment, and health monitoring capabilities, using a base with wheels, telescopic support legs, and motors for movement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple functions (delivery, communication, entertainment, health monitoring) are integrated into a single device, then versatility and convenience are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple previously separate functions (mobile delivery device, communication station, entertainment system, health monitoring device) into a single integrated table unit. The table incorporates a platform for item delivery, communication devices, entertainment systems, and health monitoring capabilities all within one unified structure, eliminating the need for multiple separate devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The table is designed as a universal platform that can perform multiple functions simultaneously or sequentially. It can deliver items to users, provide communication services, offer entertainment, monitor health vitals, and adjust its configuration based on different user needs, making it a multi-functional solution for various settings.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the table is made adjustable in height and configuration, then adaptability to different users and settings is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The table incorporates adjustable height mechanisms that allow the platform to be raised or lowered based on user needs. The telescopic support legs with motors enable dynamic height adjustment, transforming the table from a static structure to a dynamic one that can adapt to different users and situations.
Solution Approach 2:
The table's physical parameters, particularly height, can be changed through motorized adjustment of the support legs. This allows the table to be configured for different users (e.g., adults vs. children, seated vs. standing positions) by changing the height parameter without requiring multiple different table models.
3Ease of operation
If the table automatically navigates and traverses building structures, then delivery convenience is improved, but reliability and safety requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The table is equipped with automatic navigation capabilities including sensors, processors, and communication systems that enable it to autonomously traverse building structures, navigate to designated locations, and deliver items without requiring manual operation or constant supervision, making the system self-sufficient in its delivery function.
4Extent of automation
If sensors and AI technology are integrated for automatic control, then automation level is improved, but device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The table incorporates sensors that detect environmental conditions, obstacles, and user presence, providing feedback to the control system. This feedback mechanism enables the table to automatically adjust its navigation, height, and other parameters based on real-time conditions, achieving a high level of automation through closed-loop control.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical control with automated electronic control systems including processors, sensors, and communication devices. The automatic control system uses electronic signals and algorithms to manage table operations, substituting complex mechanical control mechanisms with more efficient electronic automation.
