Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices, such as mobile phones, have inconvenient status switching mechanisms, leading to low operational efficiency due to tedious procedures and inability to be positioned upright without additional attachments.
Innovation Solution
An electronic apparatus with a main body, an assistant body, and a connecting device that allows the assistant body to change its position relative to the main body, enabling the device to switch between different working statuses based on preset positional conditions, thereby simplifying the status switching process and allowing upright positioning.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If the electronic apparatus uses a straight type design, then the structure is simple, but the device cannot be positioned uprightly and requires additional attachments
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic apparatus is divided into a main body and a movable component that can rotate between a first position (flat configuration) and a second position (upright configuration). This segmentation allows the device to achieve upright positioning capability without fundamentally changing the overall simple structure, as the movable component acts as an independent element that provides the necessary functional transformation.
Solution Approach 2:
The electronic apparatus employs a movable component that can dynamically change its position between a first position and a second position through rotation. This dynamic mechanism enables the device to adapt between flat and upright configurations, eliminating the need for additional attachments while maintaining structural simplicity. The rotation mechanism allows the device to be positioned according to different usage scenarios.
2Reliability
If the electronic apparatus requires menu selection to switch applications, then the system is stable, but the operational efficiency is low due to tedious procedures
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic apparatus pre-sets different working statuses corresponding to different positions of the movable component. When the movable component rotates to a predetermined position (first or second position), the system automatically switches to the corresponding pre-configured application or function. This preliminary configuration eliminates the need for users to manually navigate through menus, significantly improving operational efficiency while maintaining system stability through predetermined, reliable status transitions.
Solution Approach 2:
The electronic apparatus implements a feedback mechanism where the position of the movable component is detected and used to automatically trigger corresponding working statuses. The system continuously monitors the position of the movable component and responds by switching applications or functions based on the detected position, creating a closed-loop control system that improves operational efficiency while maintaining stability through automated, position-based status management.
