Solution Overview

Problem

Current 360-degree photo booths have limited functionality and poor appearance and user experience, failing to provide an engaging visual impact for users.

Innovation Solution

A camera device with a 360-degree shooting capability and a control system that includes a supporting platform with a transparent tempered glass, a rotating shooting bracket, and a 3D holographic video display device, along with a control system for playing preset or user-defined video files, enhancing user interaction and experience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If a traditional opaque display is used in a 360-degree photo booth, then the display function is achieved, but the visual impact and user experience are poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisual impactVSAvoiddisplay structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a reflective mirror positioned behind the transparent display to counterbalance the visual limitations. The mirror reflects light and images from behind the display, creating an enhanced visual effect that compensates for the transparency of the display medium, thereby improving visual impact without requiring a completely complex display structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #8Anti-weight (Counterweight)

Solution Approach 2:

A reflective mirror is introduced as an intermediary element between the light source/display and the user. This mirror mediates the interaction by reflecting and enhancing the visual output, allowing the transparent display to achieve better visual impact while maintaining its transparency advantage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If a transparent display is used, then user interaction and visual impact are improved, but the display may have limited viewing angles or brightness

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interactionVSAvoiddisplay brightness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the transparent display with a reflective mirror system and lighting elements to create a merged visual output system. The mirror reflects additional light and images, while the lighting elements provide illumination, collectively enhancing the display brightness and viewing experience of the transparent display.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The reflective mirror is pre-positioned behind the transparent display to prepare and enhance the visual output before it reaches the user. This preliminary action of reflecting and pre-illuminating the display content ensures that when the user views the transparent display, the visual impact and brightness are already optimized.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Adaptability or versatility

If only single-function shooting is provided, then the device structure is simple, but the user experience and entertainment value are poor

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates multiple functions into a single device structure: 360-degree photo shooting, video playback on transparent display, and lighting effects. The supporting platform serves as both a structural support and a mounting base for the transparent display and lighting elements, achieving multi-functionality without proportionally increasing device complexity.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The shooting apparatus, transparent display, and lighting system are merged into an integrated supporting platform structure. This consolidation allows the device to provide diverse functions (shooting, display, lighting effects) while maintaining a unified and relatively simple overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
