Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional dishes lack the ability to change designs and provide additional functions beyond serving food, such as displaying images or emitting light, which limits their ornamental and functional versatility.
Innovation Solution
A dish with a built-in display element, including a flexible OLED display, battery portion for power supply, touch screen, and wireless charging capabilities, allowing for design changes and various functions like light emission and Bluetooth communication, integrated with a charging device for efficient power management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a display element is installed in the dish, then the design versatility and functionality are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the display element, battery portion, touch screen, and communication module into an integrated assembly that is embedded within the dish structure. This merging approach allows multiple functions (display, power supply, interaction, communication) to be achieved while maintaining a unified dish design, thereby improving versatility without proportionally increasing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The dish is designed to serve multiple functions: it acts as a food serving vessel, a display device for images and information, a touch interface for user interaction, and a communication device with Bluetooth capabilities. This multi-functionality approach allows a single device to replace multiple separate devices, improving overall versatility while managing complexity through functional integration.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a battery portion is added to power the display element, then the functionality is improved, but the weight and volume of the dish increase
Solution Approach 1:
The battery portion is nested within the dish structure, specifically positioned in a recessed area or compartment of the dish body. This nesting approach allows the battery to be housed within the existing dish volume without significantly increasing the external dimensions or weight of the dish, thereby adding functionality while minimizing the impact on physical properties.
3Illumination intensity
If transparent material is used for the dish side to allow display visibility, then the display function is improved, but the strength and durability may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The dish is designed with different material properties in different regions: the side portions are made of transparent material to allow display visibility, while the food contact area and structural components use opaque, food-grade materials for strength and safety. This local differentiation allows the transparent portions to provide display functionality without compromising the overall structural integrity of the dish.
