Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current headsets have limited and unsatisfactory light emitting effects due to single-directional light emission, which fails to meet user needs for increased luminosity and visual appeal.
Innovation Solution
A headset design incorporating two earplug components with a first light emitting component featuring a light source, light emitting tube, and optical adjusting member, and a second light emitting component with an emitting channel on the earphone shell, allowing for multi-directional light emission and enhanced light transmittance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If light emitting elements are provided in headsets to generate light emitting effects, then the ornamental value is increased, but the light emitting direction is relatively single resulting in unsatisfactory light emitting effects
Solution Approach 1:
The light emitting system is segmented into multiple independent light emitting components, each capable of emitting light in different directions. The headset includes first light emitting components with light emitting tubes extending outward from earphone shells, and second light emitting components with emitting channels on the outer surfaces, creating multiple light emission zones with different emission directions to resolve the single-directional limitation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from single-directional light emission to multi-directional light emission by adding light emitting elements in different spatial dimensions. Light emitting tubes extend radially outward from the earphone shells while emitting channels are positioned on outer surfaces facing different directions, creating a three-dimensional light emission pattern that enhances visual effects
2Area of stationary object
If multiple light emitting components are added to increase luminous area, then the light emitting effect is enhanced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple light emitting components are merged into a unified headset structure. The first light emitting components with light emitting tubes and the second light emitting components with emitting channels are integrated into the earphone shells and connecting members, respectively, creating a coordinated light emission system that enhances luminous area while maintaining structural coherence
Solution Approach 2:
The light emitting components serve multiple functions: they provide ornamental value through light emitting effects, increase visual appeal through multi-directional emission, and create immersive experiences through coordinated lighting. The control device manages multiple light emitting components simultaneously, enabling versatile light shows and visual effects

Data Source
AI summary
A headset includes two earplug components each including an earphone shell defining an accommodating cavity and a control device in the accommodating cavity, a connecting member connecting two earphone shells, a first light emitting component includes a first light source in the accommodating cavity of at least one earphone shell and electrically connected with the control device and a light emitting tube, and a second light emitting components configured in the accommodating cavity and electrically connected with the control device. Each earphone shell is connected with both ends of the light emitting tube, an optical adjusting member is to transmit light from the first light source to the light emitting tube. A surface of one earphone shell away from the other earphone shell is defined with an emitting channel communicating with the accommodating cavity. Light from the second light emitting component is emitted through the emitting channel.
