Chair structure with electronics support frame
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing chair designs with integrated electronics support frames do not allow users to freely perform other activities while using mobile devices, as they require both hands for operation, limiting convenience during tasks like video conferencing.
Innovation Solution
A chair structure with an electronics support frame featuring a foldable pedestal, claw part, drive mechanism, and artificial intelligence camera that automatically positions and holds mobile devices, enabling hands-free operation by capturing facial images to adjust the pedestal and claw for secure device placement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a mobile device is held in hands for use, then the device can be operated, but both hands are occupied and cannot perform other activities
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile device is extracted from the user's hands and placed on a dedicated support frame integrated with the chair. The support frame includes a mounting piece that can hold the mobile device, freeing both hands for other activities while maintaining device accessibility.
Solution Approach 2:
A claw part acts as an intermediary mechanism between the support frame and the mobile device. The claw part can be extended to clamp the device and retracted to release it, providing automated device handling without requiring manual intervention.
2Length of moving object
If the pedestal is extended to reach the user, then the device can be positioned closer, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The pedestal is divided into multiple telescopic segments that can extend and retract independently. Each segment contains a support arm that can be adjusted to different positions, allowing the pedestal to reach the user while maintaining a compact folded state and reducing overall structural complexity.

AI summary
A chair structure with electronics support frame includes: a chair body, which includes an armrest; and an electronics support frame, which is located at one side of the armrest. The electronics support frame includes a mounting piece, a foldable pedestal, a claw part, a drive mechanism, and an image capturing device. The mounting piece is formed with an opening. The pedestal is arranged on the mounting piece. The pedestal includes multiple support arms rotatably connected to each other. The pedestal is switchable between a folded condition and an expanded condition. The claw part is arranged at one end of the pedestal and rotatable relative to the pedestal. The drive mechanism is electrically connected with the pedestal and the image capturing device. The image capturing device identifies a face position toward which the claw part is moved by the drive mechanism driving the pedestal.
