Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing kettles and mobile devices do not provide a convenient and secure way to hold mobile devices in place, especially during activities like exercising, eating, or cooking, leading to increased risk of collision damage and the need to carry additional items.
Innovation Solution
A magnetic connecting attachment that magnetically connects a mobile device to a specific position on a container for beverages or food, using a connecting member with an engaging portion and a magnetic connecting member.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a mobile device is held in hand during activities like exercising or cooking, then the user can operate the device, but the risk of collision damage increases and hands are occupied
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a magnetic connecting attachment as an intermediary device between the container and mobile device. This attachment includes a connecting member that engages with the container and a magnetic connecting member that magnetically connects to the mobile device, allowing the device to be securely held on the container without hand holding
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical hand-holding method with a magnetic connection system. The magnetic connecting member uses magnetic attraction force to hold the mobile device on the container, eliminating the need for manual support and reducing collision risk
2Reliability
If a mobile phone holder with tripod is used to fix the mobile device, then the device can be held in place, but the number of items to carry increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the mobile device holder function with the container by integrating the magnetic connecting attachment directly onto the container. This combination eliminates the need for separate tripod holders, reducing the number of items to carry while maintaining device stability
Solution Approach 2:
The magnetic connecting attachment serves multiple functions: it acts as both a container accessory and a mobile device holder. The connecting member engages with the container while the magnetic connecting member holds the mobile device, creating a multi-functional component that reduces overall system complexity
