Detachable Electronic Package for Eyeglasses Weight Distribution
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wearable electronic devices, such as eyeglasses and head-mounted gear, are bulky, uncomfortable, and poorly designed, failing to adequately interact with the human body due to inadequate weight distribution and anatomical fit, leading to discomfort and limited usability.
Innovation Solution
The development of a detachable electronic package (DEP) that houses electronic components, allowing for optimal weight distribution across the body, with eyeglasses and other wearable articles designed to minimize activation of pain fibers by distributing weight to less sensitive areas, using retractable cords and flexible materials to maintain comfort and elegance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If electronics and power sources are housed in the frames of eyeglasses, then electronic functionality is integrated into the wearable article, but the frames become heavy and bulky causing discomfort
Solution Approach 1:
The invention divides the wearable electronic system into two separate components: a lightweight wearable article (eyeglasses) and a separate electronic package. The eyeglasses frame contains only minimal components (electrical connections, retractable cord mechanism) while the heavy electronics, power source, and other bulky components are housed in a separate detachable electronic package, thus maintaining light weight while providing electronic functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The invention extracts the heavy electronic components (processor, memory, power source, display) from the eyeglass frame and places them in a separate electronic package. Only the essential electrical connections and control mechanisms remain in the frame, significantly reducing the weight and bulk of the wearable article while preserving all electronic functions
2Reliability
If wires pass through the hinges at the front portion of the temples, then electrical connections are established, but the manufacturing process becomes difficult and expensive, and wires become damaged from repeated folding
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts the wire routing from the temple hinges and relocates it to the end portions of the temples. Electrical connections are established at the free ends of the temples rather than through the hinge mechanisms, eliminating the repeated folding and unfolding stress on wires during temple articulation, thereby improving reliability and simplifying manufacturing
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces retractable cords as an intermediary mechanism between the eyeglass frame and the electronic package. These cords can be extended and retracted as needed, providing flexible electrical connections without requiring wires to pass through moving hinge parts, thus avoiding wear and manufacturing complexity
3Adaptability or versatility
If heavy and awkward eyeglasses are worn, then electronic components can be housed in the frames, but the device becomes cosmetically undesirable and uncomfortable for daily use
Solution Approach 1:
The invention segments the system into a cosmetic wearable article (eyeglasses) and a functional electronic package. The eyeglasses maintain their traditional lightweight, cosmetically pleasing design while the electronic package houses all heavy components. The two are connected through retractable cords that allow the electronic package to be attached only when needed, preserving comfort and appearance during daily use
Solution Approach 2:
The invention makes the connection between the eyeglasses and electronic package dynamic rather than static. The retractable cords allow the electronic package to be extended and attached to the temples only when electronic functionality is needed, and retracted or removed when not needed, thus adapting the system to different usage scenarios and maintaining comfort and cosmetic appeal during non-usage periods
