Externally Hanged Floating Touch Apparatus for Non-Contact Operation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing floating touch apparatuses require customization for different devices, increasing costs and potentially obstructing the aesthetic interface of original devices.
Innovation Solution
An externally hanged floating touch apparatus comprising a floating touch display module, a trigger module, and a connecting structure, allowing for non-contact operation without affecting the user interface or display screen of the original device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a floating touch apparatus is mounted on an original device to enable non-contact operation, then physical wear and hygiene issues are reduced, but customization costs increase and the original device's aesthetic interface is obscured
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions the touch interface from a two-dimensional flat surface (original screen) to a three-dimensional floating structure that extends outward from the device. This dimensional change allows the touch apparatus to be mounted externally on the device housing rather than covering the screen directly, thereby reducing customization complexity while maintaining non-contact operation benefits for hygiene and wear reduction
2Ease of operation
If a floating touch apparatus covers the original device screen to provide touch functionality, then non-contact operation is achieved, but the user interface and display screen aesthetics are affected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the touch sensing function from the original display screen and relocates it to a separate floating apparatus mounted on the device housing. This extraction allows the original screen to remain uncovered and aesthetically intact while the floating apparatus provides the non-contact touch operation capability independently
3Reliability
If a floating touch apparatus is designed for each specific device to ensure proper fit and function, then operational reliability is improved, but manufacturing costs and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs the floating touch apparatus with a universal mounting structure that can be attached to the housing of different devices without requiring device-specific customization. The apparatus maintains functional reliability through standardized connection interfaces while reducing manufacturing costs by eliminating the need for custom designs for each device model
