Detachable Screen With Battery For Multi-Room TV Viewing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices with screens, such as televisions, require multiple units to be placed in different rooms for viewing, which is costly and impractical, especially when the devices are heavy and need to remain stationary for charging.
Innovation Solution
A detachable screen with internal power that can wirelessly connect to an electronic device, allowing it to be used independently or with a different device, and charges when attached to the original device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple televisions are used to watch television in different rooms, then viewing availability in different rooms is improved, but cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The television system is segmented into two independent components: a stationary electronic device and a detachable screen. The screen can be separated from the electronic device and used independently in different locations, allowing one television system to serve multiple rooms without requiring multiple complete television units.
Solution Approach 2:
The screen gains mobility by being detachable and battery-powered, transitioning from a fixed position to a movable one. This adds the dimension of spatial flexibility, allowing the screen to be transported to different rooms while the electronic device remains stationary, thereby achieving multi-room viewing capability with a single device.
2Ease of operation
If the screen is made detachable and mobile, then flexibility and portability are improved, but power supply capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The screen is charged in advance while attached to the electronic device, which has a continuous power supply. This preliminary charging action ensures that the screen has sufficient battery power for independent use in locations where the electronic device is not present, resolving the power supply issue for mobile operation.
Solution Approach 2:
A battery serves as an intermediary energy storage component between the electronic device and the detachable screen. The battery allows the screen to operate independently when detached, bridging the gap between the stationary power source and the mobile display, thus enabling portability without sacrificing power supply capability.
