Dual-Body Connecting Assembly for Multi-Form Display Configurations
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current electronic devices that connect multiple displays lack versatility in form factor, failing to meet diverse user needs for display configurations.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device comprising a first body, a second body, and a connecting assembly with movable structural assemblies, allowing for switching between different device forms through relative movements, and enabling various display configurations by adjusting the relative positions of the structural assemblies.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If two independent displays are connected together, then the display area is expanded, but the device form factor becomes single and cannot meet diverse user needs
Solution Approach 1:
The connecting assembly incorporates movable components including a first structural assembly movably connected to the first body and a second structural assembly movably connected to the second body. These movable assemblies enable the device to dynamically transition between different form factors (such as handheld mode, tablet mode, and display mode) while maintaining the expanded display area, thus resolving the contradiction between fixed display area and adaptable form factor
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting assembly serves multiple functions: it connects the two displays, enables relative movement between them, and facilitates switching between different device forms. This multi-functional design allows the same structural assembly to adapt to various usage scenarios while maintaining the expanded display configuration, addressing the versatility issue
2Adaptability or versatility
If the connecting assembly includes movable structural assemblies, then multiple device forms are enabled, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The connecting assembly is divided into distinct modular components: a first structural assembly connected to the first body and a second structural assembly connected to the second body. This segmentation allows each assembly to be independently designed and optimized, reducing overall complexity while enabling multiple device forms through coordinated movement of the segmented components

AI summary
An electronic device that includes a first body, a second body and a connecting assembly, the connecting assembly including a first structural assembly movably connected to the first body and a second structural assembly movably connected to the second body. The electronic device is configured to switch to different device forms through a first relative movement between the first body and the first structural assembly and/or a second relative movement between the second body and the second structural assembly, and in different device forms. The relative position between the first structural assembly and the second structural assembly is different or the same.
