Wireless Earpiece Band with Variable Deformation for Neck Stability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional wireless sound equipment lacks convenience and ease of use, particularly when worn around the neck, as they often require complex operations and are prone to separation from the neck during movement.
Innovation Solution
A wireless sound equipment design featuring a band with elastic and rigid sections, a rotary member with a spiral spring, and a reel for winding audio cables, allowing easy coupling and decoupling of the receiver, and incorporating magnets for secure attachment, along with a controller for controlling mobile terminal functions based on switch states and proximity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the wireless sound equipment uses a band to be worn on the user's neck, then mobility and ease of carrying are improved, but the equipment is prone to separation from the neck during movement
Solution Approach 1:
The band is designed with elastic material that can dynamically adapt to neck movement, stretching and contracting while maintaining continuous contact with the user's neck, preventing separation during physical activity
Solution Approach 2:
The elastic modulus and tensile strength of the band material are specifically optimized to provide sufficient holding force for reliable attachment while maintaining comfort and flexibility for ease of wearing
2Measurement precision
If the wireless sound equipment requires complex operations for controlling mobile terminal functions, then control precision is improved, but user convenience is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The wireless sound equipment automatically detects when the receiver is inserted into the receiver holder and autonomously executes the corresponding mobile terminal function (such as answering a call or playing music), eliminating the need for additional button presses or complex operations by the user
Solution Approach 2:
The system is pre-programmed with automatic response logic that triggers specific mobile terminal functions based on the state of the receiver and receiver holder, so that the correct action is taken in advance without requiring user decision-making or multiple steps
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enhances user convenience by preventing separation from the neck, simplifying operations, and allowing hands-free control of mobile terminal functions, reducing the need for additional button presses.
