Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic devices with integrated displays and speakers face challenges in sequential operation, limiting user experience due to the need for manual adjustment and restricted placement caused by connecting wires and size constraints.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device design featuring a movable display and functional assembly, driven by motor-based gear systems, allowing automatic sequential operation between hidden and exposed states, enabling improved user interaction and audio output.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the display and functional assembly operate independently requiring manual adjustment, then the device structure is simple, but the user experience is poor and operation is inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the display assembly and functional assembly into a integrated movable unit that can be simultaneously driven by motors. This merging allows both components to operate sequentially automatically - when the display moves from concealed to exposed position, the functional assembly automatically transitions from first state to second state, eliminating manual adjustment while maintaining coordinated operation
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service operation through automatic detection and response mechanisms. The control unit monitors the positions of both assemblies and automatically activates the appropriate motor to transition components between states without user intervention, enabling the device to serve itself in terms of operational coordination
2Shape
If the display is always exposed to access the functional interface, then the operation is convenient, but the device cannot maintain a compact appearance and the functional assembly is always visible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making both the display assembly and functional assembly movable rather than fixed. The display can transition between concealed and exposed positions, and the functional assembly can move between first and second states. This dynamic design allows the device to maintain a compact appearance when not in use while providing easy access to the functional interface when needed, resolving the contradiction between compactness and accessibility
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple electronic devices are connected through wires, then the connection is stable, but the placement is limited and the workspace is occupied
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements universality by integrating multiple functions into a single movable assembly. The functional assembly includes both the functional interface and related components that can be automatically positioned and operated. This multi-functional integration increases adaptability to different usage scenarios and placement locations while reducing the need for separate wired connections to multiple devices

Function Achieved in This Case
Enables automatic and seamless operation of the display and functional assembly, enhancing user experience by allowing the device to adapt to different audio formats and improving sound quality, while maintaining a compact and flexible design.
Implementation Method 1
The motor drives the gear to rotate along the rack, so as to drive the display to elevate
Implementation Method 2
The motor drives the gear to rotate, and the gear drives the another gear such that the functional assembly rotate

AI summary
An electronic device including a base, a display and a functional assembly is provided. The display is movably connected to the base and adapted to act between a lower position and an upper position relative to the base. The functional assembly is movably connected to the base and adapted to act between a first state and a second state relative to the base. When the display acts to the upper position from the lower position, the functional assembly acts to the second state from the first state, and when the functional assembly acts to the first state from the second state, the display acts to the lower position from the upper position.
