Solution Overview

Problem

Smart head-mounted devices, such as smart glasses, cannot be used while charging and cannot be charged while in use, leading to reduced user experience.

Innovation Solution

A smart head-mounted device design with detachable eyepieces and a nose bridge, allowing each eyepiece to be used independently while charging, and a foldable structure for compact storage, along with an accommodating box for wired or wireless charging.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the smart head-mounted device is designed as a complete unit with both eyepieces connected to the nose bridge, then the device can be used normally, but the device size becomes large and inconvenient to store and carry

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveusabilityVSAvoiddevice size
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The smart head-mounted device is divided into separable components: the nose bridge with charging interface and the two eyepieces with batteries. Each eyepiece can be detached from the nose bridge, allowing the device to be segmented into smaller parts for convenient storage and carrying, while maintaining full functionality when assembled.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If the smart head-mounted device is designed as a complete unit, then the device can be used normally, but the device cannot be charged when being worn and used

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveusabilityVSAvoidcharging capability during use
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

By separating the charging interface (located on the nose bridge) from the functional eyepieces, the device enables independent charging of each eyepiece unit. Users can detach an eyepiece from the nose bridge and charge it separately without removing it from the wearable device, allowing continuous usage of the other eyepiece during charging.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The eyepieces are equipped with built-in batteries that can be charged independently before being attached to the nose bridge. This preliminary charging capability ensures that each eyepiece is ready for use, and users can charge individual eyepieces in advance or during device usage, eliminating the need to charge the entire device separately.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
