Magnetic Mobile Device Attachment with Extending Member
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile device attachments that magnetically connect smartphones to walls or equipment restrict the user to using the front lens with lower resolution, and often obstruct the image capturing range due to insufficient shooting space.
Innovation Solution
A mobile device attachment with a magnetic connecting member and an extending member that allows the attachment to be positioned outside the image capturing range, enabling the use of the main lens with higher resolution and preventing obstructions during wide-angle or normal shooting modes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the mobile device is magnetically connected to the equipment through an attachment on the back, then the device can be fixed for hands-free operation, but the user can only use the front lens with lower shooting performance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an extending member that protrudes from the attachment in a direction away from the equipment, creating a new spatial dimension. This allows the mobile device to be positioned at an extended distance from the equipment surface, moving the device out of the image capturing range and enabling the use of the main lens with higher shooting performance while maintaining hands-free operation.
2Volume of moving object
If the attachment is positioned close to the equipment surface, then the structure remains compact, but the attachment obscures the subject in wide-angle or normal shooting modes
Solution Approach 1:
The extending member projects the attachment and mobile device away from the equipment surface in a direction perpendicular to the equipment surface. This dimensional extension allows the attachment to remain compact against the equipment while the mobile device is positioned at a distance that prevents it from obscuring the subject in the image capturing range.
Solution Approach 2:
The extending member acts as an intermediary element between the attachment and the mobile device. It provides the necessary spatial separation to prevent the attachment and device from obscuring the subject, while maintaining the structural connection and compactness against the equipment surface.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution allows for improved video quality by enabling the use of the main lens and prevents equipment or attachments from obscuring the subject, enhancing the convenience and effectiveness of using mobile devices for capturing images or videos.
Implementation Method 1
The mobile device attachment includes a magnetic connecting member and a connecting member. The magnetic connecting member is selectively magnetically connected to the mobile device

AI summary
A mobile device attachment adapted for a mobile device and a container for food or liquid is provided. The mobile device attachment includes a magnetic connecting member and a connecting member. The magnetic connecting member is selectively magnetically connected to the mobile device and adapted to extend in an escaping direction. The connecting member is disposed between the container and the magnetic connecting member. The mobile device has an image capturing range. When the magnetic connecting member extends in the escaping direction, the container, the magnetic connecting member and the connecting member are located outside the image capturing range. Besides, a container including the mobile device attachment is also provided.
