Mobile Game Control Device with Adjustable Platform for Comfortable Gameplay
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional game handles for mobile devices cause hand soreness due to prolonged use as they primarily serve only as holders, lacking functionality for comfortable extended gameplay.
Innovation Solution
A control device with two handles, a connection structure, a support structure, a moving mechanism, and a movable module that allows the electronic device to be positioned forward or backward relative to the handles, adjusting the center of gravity for comfortable holding.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the control device uses a fixed holder structure to maintain simplicity, then the device complexity is low, but the user experiences hand soreness during extended use due to inability to adjust posture
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a movable platform that can shift position along the connection structure between the two handles. This dynamic adjustment capability allows users to change the center of gravity position and holding posture during extended use, thereby maintaining comfort without requiring complete structural redesign. The movable platform translates along guide rails or tracks while maintaining stability through holding assemblies.
Solution Approach 2:
The control device is divided into independent functional modules: two separate handles with operation units, a connection structure linking them, a movable platform for device placement, and holding assemblies. This segmentation allows the platform to move independently while handles remain stable, providing adjustment capability without making the entire device complex. Each module can be optimized separately.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the carrier platform is made movable to allow position adjustment, then user comfort is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional moving mechanism components
Solution Approach 1:
The carrier platform is designed to move along the connection structure between the handles, allowing users to adjust the position of the electronic device to achieve comfortable center of gravity balance. The moving mechanism includes guide rails and holding assemblies that provide controlled motion while maintaining stability during gameplay.
Solution Approach 2:
The system allows continuous adjustment of the platform position parameter along the connection structure. By changing the position parameter, users can adapt the device to different hand sizes, grip styles, and comfort preferences, thereby achieving versatility without requiring multiple fixed configurations.
3Duration of action of moving object
If the control device maintains a simple fixed structure, then manufacturing is easier, but the device cannot support extended gameplay without causing hand soreness
Solution Approach 1:
The movable platform enables users to adjust the device position during extended gameplay to maintain comfortable posture. This dynamic adjustment capability allows prolonged use without hand soreness, while the manufacturing process remains relatively simple using standard components like guide rails, sliding mechanisms, and holding assemblies that are easy to assemble.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection structure serves multiple functions: it links the two handles, provides a guide path for the movable platform, and supports the holding assemblies. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components, thereby simplifying manufacturing while enabling extended gameplay capability.
