Digital photo frame
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional digital photo frames lack aesthetic appeal when displayed, have complex and easily misplaced support structures, and limited battery life requiring external charging, which compromises their usability and appearance.
Innovation Solution
A digital photo frame with an ambient light strip for enhanced aesthetic lighting, a detachable tilted support stand for versatile use, and an external battery for extended power, allowing for decorative lighting and convenient handling and display options.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If an integrated bracket is used to support the digital photo frame, then the frame can be used in both handheld and fixed support manners, but the structure becomes complicated and affects handgrip positioning
Solution Approach 1:
The support bracket is divided into a first bracket portion integrated with the frame body and a second bracket portion that is detachably connected. This segmentation allows the frame to function with or without the second portion, providing versatility while maintaining a simple structure when the second portion is removed.
Solution Approach 2:
The second bracket portion is designed to be detachably connected to the first bracket portion, allowing the support structure to dynamically change between a complete fixed support configuration and a simplified handheld configuration. This dynamic adaptability resolves the contradiction between versatility and structural simplicity.
2Device complexity
If a split bracket is used to support the digital photo frame, then the structure remains simple and convenient to use, but the bracket can be easily lost or misplaced
Solution Approach 1:
The first bracket portion is integrally formed with or fixedly attached to the frame body, ensuring it cannot be lost or misplaced. The second bracket portion is detachably connected to the first, combining the reliability of a permanent attachment with the convenience of a separable design.
Solution Approach 2:
The detachable connection between the first and second bracket portions allows the structure to adapt between a secure integrated state (preventing loss) and a separable state (maintaining simplicity and convenience).
3Duration of action of moving object
If external charging cables are used to recharge the battery, then the battery can be recharged, but the aesthetic appearance is reduced during charging
Solution Approach 1:
The charging cable connection is extracted and integrated into the support bracket structure rather than being a separate external component. The charging port is located on the first bracket portion, allowing the cable to be routed through the bracket itself, thereby maintaining aesthetic appearance during charging while enabling battery recharging.
4Shape
If no lighting rendering setting is provided, then the structure remains simple, but the aesthetic effect is limited when placed on a display stand
Solution Approach 1:
The lighting rendering function is merged with the support bracket structure. The lighting unit is integrated into the second bracket portion, combining the aesthetic lighting function with the mechanical support function, thereby enhancing aesthetic effect while maintaining structural simplicity.
