Solution Overview

Problem

Existing joysticks are too small to provide a good gaming experience and sufficient immersion, and extensions often disconnect during use, leading to accidental release and poor gaming experience.

Innovation Solution

A joystick fastening device with a reception cavity, connection, and extension, secured by fasteners like straps, buckles, or screws, to stabilize the joystick and prevent disconnection.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Length of moving object

If an extension is added to the joystick to enhance gaming experience, then the size and grip sense are improved, but the connection reliability deteriorates and disconnection may occur during gaming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvejoystick lengthVSAvoidconnection reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The joystick system is divided into separate components: the original joystick, the extension, and the fastening device. This segmentation allows the extension to be added for improved grip sense while the fastening device independently ensures connection reliability through multiple securing mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The fastening device is designed with pre-configured fastening structures (such as elastic bands, buckles, or clips) that are prepared in advance to secure the extension to the joystick. This preliminary preparation ensures that the connection is reliably established before gaming begins, preventing disconnection during use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Length of moving object

If the joystick is made larger with an extension to improve grip sense, then the gaming immersion is enhanced, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvejoystick lengthVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The fastening device incorporates multiple fastening methods (elastic bands, buckles, clips, or screws) within a single integrated structure. This multi-functionality allows the same fastening device to securely hold the extension while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure, avoiding excessive complexity increase.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The fastening device is designed to be integrated within or attached to the existing joystick structure, with the extension nested within the fastening mechanism. This nesting approach minimizes the increase in device complexity by utilizing the existing joystick structure rather than adding completely separate components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Reliability

If a fastening device is used to secure the extension, then the connection reliability is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection reliabilityVSAvoidassembly ease
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The fastening device incorporates self-fastening mechanisms such as elastic bands that automatically secure the extension when inserted, buckles that snap into place, or clips that clamp down without requiring additional tools or complex assembly steps. This self-service capability maintains ease of operation while ensuring reliable connection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The fastening device uses adjustable parameters such as the elasticity of the bands, the tension of the clips, or the positioning of the buckles to optimize both reliability and ease of operation. These parameter changes allow the fastening mechanism to securely hold the extension while remaining simple to assemble and disassemble.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
