Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users need to switch between multiple electronic devices based on different needs, which is inconvenient.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a first and second body connected by a connecting device, allowing for different display and interactive device configurations, including a first display device that reflects external light and a second display device that emits light, with processing modules to adjust output based on the device's mode.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users use multiple electronic devices simultaneously, then different needs can be met, but user convenience deteriorates due to the need to switch between devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple electronic devices into a single integrated device with multiple bodies (first body and second body) that can be connected or separated. Each body contains display devices and interactive devices, allowing all functions to be accessed from one location rather than requiring multiple separate devices, thus improving user convenience while maintaining versatility
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated electronic device performs multiple functions through its multiple bodies, each capable of independent operation. The display devices can function independently or cooperatively, and the interactive devices can be used separately or together, providing universal functionality for different user needs without requiring multiple separate devices
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple display devices are used, then display functionality is enhanced, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic control of display devices where the system can adaptively activate or deactivate specific display devices based on usage scenarios. When bodies are connected, certain displays may be deactivated while others remain active, allowing the system to optimize power consumption according to the actual display needs rather than keeping all displays permanently on
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes operational parameters of display devices including brightness levels, refresh rates, and activation states based on the connection status of bodies and detected usage patterns. This allows optimization of power consumption by adjusting display parameters dynamically rather than maintaining fixed high-power operation
3Ease of operation
If interactive devices are positioned on specific sides, then functionality is optimized, but device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the electronic device into multiple independent bodies, each with its own interactive devices positioned on specific sides optimized for particular functions. This modular segmentation allows each body to be designed and positioned independently, simplifying the overall structural complexity while maintaining optimized functionality for each segment

AI summary
An electronic device including a first body, the first body having a first side and a second side opposite the first sides; a second body, the second body being connected to the first body through a connecting device to change a relative position of the first body and the second body; a first interactive device; and a second interactive device at least partially unblocked by the first body and the second body. When the first interactive device is blocked by the first body, the second interactive device is not blocked.
