Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices with liftable camera modules have limited photographing flexibility and range, requiring users to adjust their posture for different angles, which restricts their ability to take images at various distances and directions.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a flight photographing device that can extend and retract from a device shell, allowing for detachable connection and movement, enabling flexible positioning and adjustable angles for enhanced photographing capabilities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of moving object
If a liftable camera module is adopted to increase screen-to-body ratio, then the screen-to-body ratio is improved, but the photographing flexibility and range deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The camera system is divided into two independent parts: a fixed camera module integrated into the device shell for close-range photography, and a detachable flight photographing device for aerial photography. This segmentation allows each component to specialize in specific photographing scenarios, resolving the contradiction between maintaining a high screen-to-body ratio and providing photographing flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The flight photographing device enables photography in a third dimension (aerial view) by detaching and flying above the device shell. This dimensional transition transforms the limitation of fixed-angle photography into a versatile multi-angle capability, allowing users to capture images from various heights and perspectives without compromising the device's screen-to-body ratio.
2Ease of operation
If the camera module extends out of the device shell for photographing, then photographing function is enabled, but the photographing range is limited to working distance
Solution Approach 1:
The flight photographing device utilizes aerial flight capability to overcome the limited working distance constraint. By transitioning from ground-level extension to airborne positioning, the system expands the photographing range from immediate proximity to extended distances, enabling long-range photography while maintaining ease of operation through automated flight control.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the user adjusts body posture to change photographing angle, then photographing angle adjustment is achieved, but the operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The flight photographing device replaces static body posture adjustment with dynamic aerial positioning. The device can autonomously fly to different positions and orientations, automatically achieving various photographing angles without requiring the user to change their physical posture. This dynamic approach simplifies operation while maintaining versatile angle adjustment capability.

AI summary
An electronic device is provided, including a device shell and a flight photographing device. The device shell is provided with an opening and an inner cavity. The opening communicates with the inner cavity. The flight photographing device is movably arranged on the device shell. The flight photographing device is capable of extending out of the device shell through the opening or retracting into the device shell. In a case that the flight photographing device is located outside the device shell, the flight photographing device is separable from the device shell.
