Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional camera aids are used to extend photo distance, then photography capability is improved, but storage space is occupied and device temperature increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvephotography capabilityVSAvoiddevice temperature
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the storage function and heat dissipation function from the mobile device itself and places them in the camera aid. The camera aid includes a storage module for saving photographed images and a heat dissipation structure with semiconductor radiators that actively cool the mobile device during photography, thereby resolving the contradiction between extended photography capability and device overheating.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The camera aid serves as an intermediary device between the user and the mobile device. It provides storage services through the storage module and thermal management services through the heat dissipation structure, mediating the problems of storage space occupation and device temperature without requiring modifications to the mobile device itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If traditional camera aids are used to extend photo distance, then photography capability is improved, but storage space is occupied

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvephotography capabilityVSAvoidstorage space
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The storage function is extracted from the mobile device and implemented in the camera aid through a dedicated storage module. This module can save photographed images locally, freeing up storage space on the mobile device while maintaining full photography capability through the extended camera setup.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Adaptability or versatility

If camera aid adds multiple functions (storage, heat dissipation, fill light), then functionality is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple functions including storage module, heat dissipation structure with semiconductor radiators, fill light, and control circuit board into a single integrated camera aid device. This consolidation provides enhanced functionality while avoiding the complexity that would arise from having separate devices for each function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The camera aid is designed as a universal device that can simultaneously perform multiple functions: extending photography capability, providing local storage, active heat dissipation, and fill lighting. This multi-functionality is achieved through integrated components that work together within a single device structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
