Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional holders do not allow for simultaneous adjustment of the display and camera orientation, requiring the camera to adjust its position when the display's angle changes, which is inconvenient.

Innovation Solution

A multifunctional holder with a backboard assembly, adapter, and movable arms providing rotational freedom, allowing both the display and camera to rotate simultaneously, with a positioning member for fixing the camera, enabling synchronized adjustment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the display orientation is changed, then the display can be adjusted to different angles, but the camera position needs to be manually adjusted to capture the image, which is inconvenient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay orientation adjustmentVSAvoidcamera position adjustment
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the display holder and camera mount into a single integrated multifunctional holder. The holder includes a backboard assembly for the display and a positioning member for the camera, both connected through adapter and movable arm mechanisms. This merging allows both components to be adjusted together, eliminating the need for separate manual camera adjustment when changing display orientation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The holder is designed as a multifunctional device that can simultaneously support and adjust both the display and camera. The movable arm and positioning member allow the holder to perform multiple functions: supporting the display, mounting the camera, and enabling synchronized orientation adjustment of both components, making it adaptable to various configurations.

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

2Device complexity

If a conventional holder is used, then the structure is simple, but it cannot enable simultaneous rotation of display and camera

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveholder structureVSAvoidsimultaneous rotation capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The holder incorporates movable arms with rotational joints that provide dynamic adjustment capabilities. The first movable arm can rotate relative to the adapter, and the positioning member can rotate relative to the backboard assembly, enabling the system to adapt to different orientations while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The holder is divided into multiple independent components: backboard assembly, adapter, movable arms, and positioning member. Each segment can rotate or adjust independently, allowing the display and camera to be positioned and oriented separately while maintaining their relative positions, thus achieving simultaneous rotation capability without excessive complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
