Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional digital photo frames lack multi-directional support functionality and innovative design, making them inconvenient for placement and failing to provide a unique buying experience due to fixed connection rods and outdated industrial design.
Innovation Solution
A narrow frame digital photo frame with a multi-directional support system featuring a square groove on the photo frame body and a matching square boss on the support, allowing for adjustable placement angles and a sleek, ultra-narrow frame design with 3D pyramid convex points and water chestnut structures, along with a stiffener and soft silicon for protection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed connection support rod is used to support the digital photo frame, then the support structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the photo frame can only be supported in a single direction and cannot be adjusted to different angles
Solution Approach 1:
The support rod is segmented into multiple sections that can be independently positioned. The rod includes a first section connected to the photo frame body and a second section extending from the first section, with each section capable of being adjusted to different angles. This segmentation allows the support structure to provide multi-directional support while maintaining relative simplicity in each individual segment.
Solution Approach 2:
The support rod transitions from a fixed, static structure to a dynamic, adjustable structure. Each section of the support rod can be rotated and positioned at different angles relative to adjacent sections, enabling the photo frame to be supported in multiple directions. The joint connections between sections allow for dynamic adjustment while maintaining structural stability when positioned.
2Adaptability or versatility
If traditional industrial design is used for the digital photo frame, then the manufacturing process is straightforward and cost-effective, but the product lacks innovative characteristics and aesthetic appeal
Solution Approach 1:
The support rod sections are designed with asymmetric features including a tapered structure where the cross-sectional area gradually decreases from the first section to the second section, and arc-shaped cross-sections that provide both aesthetic appeal and functional grip surfaces. These asymmetric designs create visual interest and tactile comfort while remaining manufacturable through standard forming processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The support rod incorporates curved and arc-shaped elements throughout its structure. The cross-sections of the rod sections feature arc shapes that provide ergonomic grip surfaces, and the overall configuration includes curved transitions between sections. These curvature elements enhance the aesthetic appeal and tactile comfort while maintaining structural integrity.

AI summary
The invention relates to a narrow frame digital photo frame with multi-directional support function, including a photo frame body and a support. The back of the photo frame body is provided with a groove, the groove is arranged in a square, the support is provided with a boss with a square structure, and the boss is installed in the recess without gap. The narrow frame digital photo frame with multi-directional support function has design style of ultra narrow frame of the front shell. For the product with TP process as decorative edge, the matching boss can be installed on the photo frame in four directions by setting the groove of square structure, so as to realize the multi-directional placement angle of digital photo frame horizontally or vertically, Users can choose the placement angle of the bracket according to actual needs of browsing photos, so as to achieve best preview effect.
