Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional glasses-type terminals have fixed nose-supported structures, limiting the ability to wear glasses that match individual eye sight and preventing easy exchange of lenses.

Innovation Solution

A glasses-type terminal design featuring a frame with an external and internal structure, a bridge for nose support, and a mechanism allowing for the insertion and secure attachment of lenses, enabling customization to match user's eyesight and easy lens exchange.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed nose-supported structure is used in glasses-type terminals, then the structural simplicity is maintained, but the adaptability to different users' eyesight is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to different users' eyesightVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The frame is divided into an external frame and an internal frame that can be assembled together. The nose-supported portion is integrated with the internal frame, allowing it to be adjusted and adapted to different users' nose shapes and eyesight requirements while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The internal frame is inserted into the external frame, with the nose-supported portion of the internal frame extending through the external frame. This nested structure allows the nose-supported portion to be adjusted independently while maintaining the integrity of the overall frame structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Ease of operation

If lenses are custom-designed for a fixed nose-supported portion, then the manufacturing precision is improved, but the ease of operation for lens replacement deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of lens replacementVSAvoidlens attachment precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The nose-supported portion is designed to be adjustable along the longitudinal direction of the internal frame. This dynamic adjustment capability allows the lens position to be optimized for different users' eyesight while maintaining a simple attachment mechanism that enables easy lens replacement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The internal frame with the adjustable nose-supported portion serves multiple functions: it provides structural support, enables lens positioning adjustment for different eyesight requirements, and allows for easy lens replacement. This multi-functional design achieves both precision and ease of operation.

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