Camera Control Phone Case for Shutter and Focus Buttons
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Some terminal devices lack convenient functions for adjusting photography settings, such as focusing and photo/video recording, due to the absence of dedicated photography buttons.
Innovation Solution
An auxiliary device with a case body and control assembly, including a transceiver module, processing module, and operation module, which is communicatively connected to the terminal device to enable control functions like photography settings through buttons.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If an auxiliary device with control assembly is added to older terminal devices, then photography control functions are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The auxiliary device is divided into separate functional modules: a case body for protection, a control assembly with operation module for photography control, and a transceiver module for communication. This segmentation allows each module to perform its specific function independently while maintaining overall system simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The transceiver module acts as an intermediary between the control assembly and the terminal device, transmitting control signals from the operation module to the terminal device's photography application, thereby enabling control functionality without direct integration into the terminal device's internal structure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If control assembly with multiple modules is integrated into case body, then operation functions are enhanced, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control assembly is designed as a separate unit that can be manufactured independently and then integrated into the case body. This segmentation simplifies the manufacturing process by allowing specialized production of the control assembly and case body separately, followed by a straightforward assembly process.
Solution Approach 2:
The control assembly is designed with universal interfaces and standardized connections that can be adapted to different terminal devices. The operation module provides multiple photography control functions (capture, focus, video recording) through a single integrated unit, enhancing versatility without requiring separate components for each function.
