Display Support Structure With Hidden Processor Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing support devices for display devices are limited in their utility and do not effectively integrate processing devices for enhanced functionality.
Innovation Solution
A support device with a seat and a support body that includes a receiving space for accommodating part of a processing device, with an opening to expose and interact with the processing device's interactive parts, allowing for improved adaptability and functionality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If the processing device is completely enclosed within the support body, then the tidiness and aesthetics are improved, but the accessibility to interactive parts deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the interactive parts of the processing device from the enclosed receiving space and exposes them through openings in the support body. This allows the processing device to be partially hidden for tidiness while maintaining accessibility to its interactive components through the openings.
Solution Approach 2:
The processing device is nested within the support body's receiving space, with its interactive parts extending through openings. This nesting arrangement achieves both compact integration and operational accessibility.
2Ease of operation
If the processing device is placed outside the support body, then the accessibility to interactive parts is improved, but the adaptability and integration deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the processing device with the support body by providing a receiving space within the support body that accommodates the processing device. This integration improves adaptability while maintaining accessibility through the openings.
Solution Approach 2:
The support body serves multiple functions: it provides structural support, contains a receiving space for the processing device, and offers openings for interaction. This multi-functionality enhances the overall adaptability of the system.
3Ease of operation
If the support device is designed with multiple openings for full accessibility, then the ease of operation is improved, but the aesthetics and tidiness deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing openings only at specific locations where interactive parts need to be accessed, rather than creating multiple openings throughout the support body. This maintains aesthetics while ensuring operational accessibility where needed.

AI summary
A support device. The support device includes a seat for contacting a bearing surface when the support device is placed on the bearing surface and a support body having a first end and a second opposite end for supporting an output device, the first end being connected to the seat, the second end being connected to the output device, the connected output device facing a first direction. The support body includes a first receiving space, and the first receiving space is configured to accommodate at least a part of a processing device. The support body includes at least one opening facing a second direction, at least a part of an interaction part of the processing device to be placed in the first receiving space is exposed through the opening, and the second direction is different from an opposite direction of the first direction.
