Solution Overview

Problem

Charging boxes for shooting devices, such as cameras, have limited functionality, primarily focusing on charging, leading to a poor user experience.

Innovation Solution

A charging box with a box body that can detachably receive a shooting device, featuring a display screen for image display, electrical connections, a battery for power supply, control buttons, and communication modules, allowing for image capture control and preview, even when the device is detached.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the charging box only serves charging function, then the device structure is simple, but the user experience is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser experienceVSAvoiddevice structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The charging box is transformed from a single-function charging device to a multi-functional device that can both charge the shooting device and display captured images. The display screen is integrated into the charging box, allowing it to serve dual purposes: power supply and image preview, thereby improving user experience without significantly increasing structural complexity

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines the charging function and image display function into a single integrated device. The shooting device can be placed in the charging box for charging, and the same box displays the images captured by the shooting device, merging two separate functions (charging and viewing) into one unified system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Loss of information

If the display screen is always on to show captured images, then the user can preview images continuously, but the energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage preview availabilityVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The display screen operates periodically rather than continuously. It activates to display images when the shooting device is detected in the charging box, and turns off when the device is removed or no images are available, thereby reducing energy consumption while maintaining image preview functionality when needed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically detects the presence of the shooting device and controls the display screen accordingly. When the shooting device is placed in the charging box, the system automatically activates the display to show captured images, and automatically turns off the display when the device is removed, eliminating the need for manual control and optimizing energy usage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
