Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic photo frames lack intuitive and dynamic display effects, offering a single and unsatisfactory user experience for image observation.
Innovation Solution
A light effect structure for electronic photo frames, comprising a photo frame assembly with a main board, light board, and speaker, integrated with a touch switch for switching light effects, and featuring multiple light boards forming shapes like circles, squares, or polygons, along with a Type-C interface, memory card slot, and power interface, allowing for dynamic lighting changes synchronized with image backgrounds or music rhythms.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional photo frame is used, then the structure is simple, but the display effect is single and the user experience is not ideal
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functional components including display unit, light effect assembly, speaker, and control unit into an integrated photo frame device. The light effect assembly merges LED lights, light guiding plates, and diffusing plates to create synchronized lighting effects that enhance the display of photos and music visualization, resolving the contradiction between simple structure and versatile display effects.
Solution Approach 2:
The photo frame is designed with multiple functions: displaying photos, music visualization through light effects, audio playback via speaker, and touch control. The light board can display different patterns (circles, squares, polygons) and the system supports various interaction modes including touch switches and remote control, making the device versatile while maintaining a relatively compact structure.
2Illumination intensity
If multiple light boards are added to create dynamic lighting effects, then the display effect is enhanced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The light effect assembly is segmented into multiple independent light boards that can be arranged in different patterns (circles, squares, polygons). Each light board contains LED lights that can be independently controlled to display different colors and patterns, creating dynamic lighting effects synchronized with music or photos while maintaining modular structure that manages complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces light guiding plates and diffusing plates as intermediary components between the LED light boards and the display surface. These intermediaries distribute and soften the light from multiple LED sources to create uniform and aesthetically pleasing lighting effects, reducing the visual complexity while enhancing the illumination quality.
3Ease of operation
If touch switches and multiple interfaces are integrated, then the ease of operation is improved, but the manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit integrates multiple control functions including touch switch detection, remote control reception, and signal processing for both display and light effects. Various interfaces (Type-C, memory card slot, power interface) are consolidated into a unified control architecture, improving ease of operation while managing manufacturing complexity through integrated circuit design.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a light effect structure for an electronic photo frame, and relates to the technical field of electronic photo frames. The light effect structure for an electronic photo frame includes a photo frame assembly and a light effect assembly that is mounted on the photo frame assembly, where the photo frame assembly comprises a back housing and a display that is mounted in the back housing, and the light effect assembly includes a main board, a light board, and a speaker that are mounted in the back housing, the display, the light board, and the speaker are all electrically connected to the main board, and a touch switch is integrated on the main board and configured to switch light effect of the light board. When an image is displayed on the display, light of the light board may be changed through the light effect assembly with a background color of the picture displayed on the display. When music is played, light of the light board is changed with a music rhythm. This greatly increases appreciation of the light effect structure for an electronic photo frame, so that display effect is not stagnant. In addition, the light board may be switched to a breathing light mode or a fixed single color mode. This improves atmospheres. The light effect structure for an electronic photo frame has a specific lighting function, and can be used as a night light. Furthermore, the light effect structure for an electronic photo frame has a simple and compact structure, and has a broad application prospect.
