Jewelry Mobile Data Carrier with Segmented Plate Design
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wearable data carriers, such as the small document capsule mentioned in DE 196 46 636 A1, are prone to accidental opening and data loss due to their small size and design, which compromises their reliability in emergency situations.
Innovation Solution
A jewelry item designed as a mobile data carrier with two plate-shaped bodies separated by a web, housing a data carrier that can be pulled out or pushed out, featuring an eyelet or opening for chaining, and incorporating a watertight, detachable data storage option, including printed or chip-based data carriers for secure and accessible data storage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If the data carrier is made small and wearable like a document capsule, then it can be worn permanently on the body, but it is prone to accidental opening and data loss
Solution Approach 1:
The jewelry item is divided into two plate-shaped bodies (1a, 1b) separated by a web (2), creating a segmented structure that houses the data carrier (3) between them. This segmentation allows the data carrier to be securely enclosed while maintaining access through the eyelet mechanism, resolving the contradiction between small size and protection against accidental opening.
2Reliability
If the data carrier is securely enclosed, then it is protected from mechanical damage, but it becomes less accessible to third parties in emergency situations
Solution Approach 1:
The data carrier (3) can be partially extracted or removed from between the plate-shaped bodies (1a, 1b) through the eyelet (4) and continuous opening (5). This extraction mechanism allows third parties to access the data carrier in emergency situations while maintaining secure enclosure during normal wear, resolving the contradiction between protection and accessibility.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the jewelry item is designed with functional components for data storage, then it serves as a mobile data carrier, but it may compromise aesthetic appearance and wearability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the functional components (data carrier, eyelet, plate-shaped bodies) with aesthetic jewelry elements. The plate-shaped bodies can be decorated, the eyelet serves both functional and decorative purposes, and the overall structure resembles traditional jewelry pieces like pendants or charms. This merging allows the item to serve both as a mobile data carrier and as an aesthetically pleasing wearable accessory.

AI summary
Ornament e.g. mobile data carrier has two plate-shaped bodies (1) arranged at a distance to each other over a bar. The data medium is located between the plate-shaped bodies in such a way that it can be partly pushed out. At least one of the plate-shaped bodies possesses an eye (4) or an aperture.
