Solution Overview

Problem

Existing vehicle-mounted voice remote control devices are difficult to position optimally, leading to impaired voice interaction and potential loss during driving, posing safety hazards due to manual operation distractions.

Innovation Solution

A vehicle-mounted voice remote control device with a magnetic member that attaches to the steering wheel, featuring a detachable assembly component with a magnetic attraction piece and a binding belt for secure attachment, enabling convenient and safe voice interaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the vehicle-mounted voice remote control device is placed far from the driver, then the device is less likely to be lost, but voice interaction is affected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice securityVSAvoidvoice interaction quality
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The device is divided into two separable parts: a voice remote control main body and an assembly component. The main body contains the magnetic member for steering wheel attachment, while the assembly component can be mounted on the dashboard or other surfaces. This segmentation allows the voice recognition function to remain close to the driver for good voice interaction, while the main body can be securely attached to the steering wheel or kept within easy reach, reducing loss risk.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If the vehicle-mounted voice remote control device is placed close to the driver, then voice interaction is improved, but the device is easily lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevoice interaction qualityVSAvoiddevice security
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The device provides dynamic positioning flexibility through its detachable design. The voice remote control main body can be attached to the steering wheel using magnetic attraction for secure placement near the driver, or detached and placed in other locations as needed. This dynamic repositioning capability allows the device to adapt to different driving situations, maintaining both voice interaction quality and device security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Reliability

If a fixed mounting method is used, then the device is secure, but the mounting location is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice securityVSAvoidmounting location flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The device incorporates multiple mounting methods to achieve universal applicability. The voice remote control main body can be mounted on the steering wheel via magnetic attraction, or the assembly component can be mounted on dashboards, windows, or other surfaces using various attachment methods. This multi-functional mounting capability allows the device to be securely installed in multiple locations, adapting to different vehicle types and driver preferences.

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