Dual Display Smart Watch with Flexible Connection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current smart watches are simplistic in design and unable to meet market diversification demands, as they require users to turn their wrist to view time due to the operation interface and time being displayed on the same screen.
Innovation Solution
A smart watch design featuring a main rigid display screen for operation interfaces and an auxiliary rigid display screen for time, connected by a flexible connection display part, allowing an angle to form between the screens for improved usability and comfort, with the auxiliary screen positioned at the wrist radius for easy viewing of time without turning the wrist.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the operation interface and time are displayed on the same screen, then the device structure is simple, but the user must turn their wrist to view time which reduces convenience
Solution Approach 1:
The display system is divided into two separate display screens: a first display screen for showing the operation interface and a second display screen for showing time. This segmentation allows each screen to be positioned independently, enabling the time display to be located at the wrist radius while the operation interface remains on the back of the wrist, thus improving viewing convenience without requiring wrist rotation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes the flexible connection part to create a spatial dimension between the two display screens. The flexible connection part allows the second display screen to be positioned at a different location (wrist radius) relative to the first display screen (back of wrist), effectively using spatial arrangement to solve the viewing convenience problem.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a single display screen is used for both operation interface and time, then the device is simple in type and style, but it cannot meet market diversification demands
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the display function into two separate screens with different purposes (operation interface vs. time display), the device gains greater adaptability to meet diverse market demands. The dual-screen configuration allows for more versatile design options and functional combinations, enabling the smart watch to cater to different user preferences and market segments.
Solution Approach 2:
The dual display screen configuration provides multi-functionality, where each screen serves a specific purpose. This universal approach allows the device to handle multiple functions (operation control and time viewing) simultaneously, enhancing its adaptability to various usage scenarios and market requirements.
3Ease of operation
If the main display screen is positioned on the back of the wrist, then the operation interface is accessible, but the time cannot be viewed without turning the wrist
Solution Approach 1:
The display system is segmented into two independent screens positioned at different locations on the wrist. The first display screen is positioned on the back of the wrist for operation interface access, while the second display screen is positioned at the wrist radius for easy time viewing. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by allowing each function to be optimally positioned.
Solution Approach 2:
The flexible connection part acts as an intermediary element that connects the two display screens positioned at different locations. It enables the spatial separation of the operation interface and time display while maintaining structural integrity, allowing the time to be viewed at the wrist radius without requiring the operation interface to be moved.
