Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a conventional headset with hard housing is used during sleep, then audio playback function is provided, but ear discomfort occurs when turning over

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomfort during sleepVSAvoidear compression discomfort
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the hard housing with a flexible strap made of soft material that can deform and adapt to the user's face contours. The flexible strap includes a face slimming component that gently compresses the face and ear areas, providing comfort while maintaining the headset's structural integrity and audio functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

2Ease of operation

If an in-ear headset is used during sleep, then audio playback function is provided, but discomfort occurs when turning over

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomfort during sleepVSAvoidear compression discomfort
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a flexible strap instead of a rigid in-ear structure. The flexible material allows the headset to bend and move with the user's head movements, preventing the compression and discomfort that occurs with rigid in-ear headsets during turning motions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

3Object-affected harmful factors

If a flexible and elastic face slimming strap is used, then ear comfort is improved, but facial slimming effect is achieved through compression

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveear discomfortVSAvoidfacial shape modification
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes the elastic properties of the strap material to create dynamic compression on the face. The flexible and elastic material can be adjusted to apply appropriate pressure to achieve facial slimming effects while maintaining comfort. The elasticity allows the strap to return to its original shape, ensuring consistent pressure distribution for prolonged wear.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
