Solution Overview

Problem

Existing booths lack flexibility in internal layout configuration, limiting their adaptability for various user needs and purposes.

Innovation Solution

A booth design with a top plate that can be divided into multiple pieces, allowing for changeable development areas, supported by movable legs, grooves, or links, enabling users to customize the desk layout and configuration through a reservation system using electronic keys and portable terminals.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed desk layout is used in the booth, then the structural simplicity is maintained, but the adaptability for different user needs is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadaptabilityVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The desk top plate is divided into multiple separable components that can be independently positioned and configured. This segmentation allows the desk layout to be customized for different user needs while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure when not in use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The desk top plate is designed to be movable rather than fixed, allowing it to be repositioned, extended, or reconfigured based on user requirements. This dynamic capability enables the same structure to serve multiple functions without requiring complex mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If a customizable desk layout is implemented, then the versatility for different user activities is improved, but the ease of operation is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveversatilityVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides predetermined desk configuration options that have been pre-planned and designed for common usage scenarios. Users can select from these pre-configured layouts rather than designing custom configurations, which simplifies the operation while maintaining versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The desk top plate is designed to serve multiple functions and configurations through a universal base structure. The same movable plate can be positioned in different locations and orientations to accommodate various user activities, reducing the need for multiple specialized components.

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

AI summary

A booth is made usable by making a reservation, and has an opening that allows a user to enter and exit, in which a top plate of a desk is installed in a space surrounded by a floor and a side wall. A development area or a development position of the top plate is changeable in the space.
