Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing bicycle rear-view mirrors are physically limited and difficult to install, and existing camera modules require pre-built integration, limiting their application to existing bicycles.
Innovation Solution
A detachable electronic driving operation system for bicycles comprising a front assembly with a display panel and rear assembly with a rear camera module and projection warning area light, which can be easily installed without modifying the bicycle body, and includes sensors for steering, braking, and speed sensing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a physical rear-view mirror is mounted on the bicycle handlebar, then the rider can see the rear surrounding environment, but the view is limited and the installation is not attractive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical physical mirror system with an electronic imaging system consisting of a rear camera module and display panel. The camera captures rear images and transmits them to the display panel mounted on the handlebar, providing unlimited adjustable viewing angles and superior visibility while maintaining ease of installation through detachable mounting structures.
2Reliability
If a rear camera module with connecting wires is pre-built or embedded in the bicycle body, then the camera can capture surrounding images, but it cannot be easily applied to bicycles available in the market
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the electronic rear-view system into separate detachable modules: a rear assembly containing the camera module and projection warning area light, and a front assembly containing the display panel. These modules can be independently mounted on existing bicycles using standard seat posts and handlebar stems without requiring pre-building or embedding into the bicycle body, thus achieving universal applicability while maintaining full image capture functionality.
3Reliability
If projection warning area lights are added to mark safety zones, then safety is enhanced by indicating safe distances, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the projection warning area light function with the rear camera module assembly, integrating both the imaging system and the safety warning system into a single rear assembly that mounts on the seat post. This consolidation provides enhanced safety through laser projection warning areas while avoiding the complexity of separate independent systems, as both functions share the same mounting structure and power supply.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Provides an electronic rear-view mirror and projection warning area light, enhancing safety by indicating safe distances and alerting others, while being easily installable and adaptable to various bicycles.
Implementation Method 1
The rear camera module is configured to capture surrounding images
Implementation Method 2
the projection warning area light is configured to emit light beams toward two lateral sides of the bicycle body to mark a warning area on a ground

AI summary
A bicycle and its electronic driving operation system are disclosed. The bicycle electronic driving operation system includes a front assembly and a rear assembly. The front assembly has a display panel, wherein the front assembly is detachably mounted on a hand-bar stem of the bicycle. The rear assembly has a rear camera module and a projection warning area light, wherein the rear assembly is detachably mounted on a seat post of the bicycle. The rear camera module is configured to capture surrounding images. The display panel is electrically connected to the rear camera module and configured to display the surrounding images captured by the rear camera module, and the projection warning area light are configured to project towards two lateral sides of the bicycle to mark a warning area on a ground on the two lateral sides of the bicycle.
