Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If external storage devices are used to expand storage capacity, then storage space is improved, but the devices require separate storage spaces when not in use and cannot be fixed to the mobile device during use

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage capacityVSAvoidconvenience of use
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the storage device with a magnetic mounting structure that integrates with the mobile device. The magnetic element allows the storage device to be permanently attached to the mobile device, merging the storage function with the mobile device itself, eliminating the need for separate storage spaces and ensuring the device remains accessible during use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The magnetic element acts as an intermediary between the storage device and the mobile device. This magnetic intermediary enables the storage device to be fixed to the mobile device without direct mechanical connection, allowing for easy attachment and detachment while maintaining stable positioning during use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Quantity of substance

If external storage devices are stored in separate storage spaces, then storage capacity is improved, but the trouble of use is increased

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage capacityVSAvoidtime for storage and retrieval
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

By merging the storage device with the mobile device through magnetic attachment, the patent eliminates the need for separate storage spaces. The storage device becomes an integrated component that travels with the mobile device, eliminating time spent on storage and retrieval operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The magnetic attachment mechanism is pre-configured on both the storage device and the mobile device. This preliminary setup allows for instant attachment and detachment without requiring separate storage locations or complex mounting procedures, saving time during use.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Quantity of substance

If external storage devices cannot be fixed to the mobile device, then storage capacity is improved, but the device cannot be accessed during use

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage capacityVSAvoidaccessibility during use
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The magnetic element serves as a reliable intermediary that ensures the storage device remains firmly attached to the mobile device during use. This magnetic fixation provides stable and reliable access to the storage device while it is being carried or used, eliminating the risk of loss or misplacement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

By merging the storage device with the mobile device through magnetic attachment, the patent ensures that the storage device moves with the mobile device. This integration guarantees continuous accessibility during use, as the storage device remains positioned and secure throughout the mobile device's movement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
