Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing data-video-power systems for portable electronic devices lack a comprehensive solution for efficiently transmitting data signals, video signals, and electrical power in a single, integrated cable solution that adheres to USB specification standards.
Innovation Solution
A data-video-power system comprising a cable with an electrical contact pin connector array at one end and a data-video-power connector port at the other, configured to conduct data signals, video signals, and electrical power according to USB specification standards, along with a portable electronic device stand and accessory that facilitate seamless connectivity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If separate cables are used for data, video, and power transmission, then each function can be optimized independently, but the system complexity and number of connectors increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines data, video, and power transmission functions into a single integrated cable assembly. The connector array integrates multiple contact pins for different signal types and power delivery, allowing simultaneous transmission of multiple signals through one physical connection rather than requiring separate cables for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The connector array is designed to handle multiple functions through a single interface. It supports data transmission, video transmission, and power delivery simultaneously, making the cable assembly universal for various electronic device connections and eliminating the need for multiple specialized connectors.
2Ease of operation
If an integrated data-video-power cable is used, then connectivity is simplified, but ensuring reliable electrical contact for all signals becomes more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The connector is segmented into multiple independent contact pins, each dedicated to specific functions (data, video, power). This segmentation allows each pin to be optimized for its particular signal type while maintaining reliable contact through precise alignment and individual contact mechanisms within the integrated connector array.

AI summary
A system includes an electrical cable first end having external electrical pins, an electrical cable second end having a data-video-power port connector, and an electrical cable coupled to the first end and the second end. Implementations of the plurality of external electrical pins can include 18 pogo pins. Implementations of the data-video-power port connector can be compliant with Universal Serial Bus (USB) specification standards. A portable electronic device stand can include a base assembly with a wall assembly extending from the base assembly and a portable electronic device support assembly coupled with the wall assembly. The electrical cable first end can couple with the wall assembly and extend from the electrical cable first end through the wall assembly and on from the portable electronic device stand. Other aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text forming a part of the present disclosure.
