Modular 3D Card Assembly for Customizable Toy Faces
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing game cards are two-dimensional and fixed, lacking flexibility in altering their faces and preventing interchangeable or customizable components, which limits their functionality and versatility.
Innovation Solution
A three-dimensional assembled card toy comprising interchangeable and detachable card content pieces with distinct assembly interfaces, allowing for customizable card faces and anti-counterfeiting features through electronic tags.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If game cards are made as indivisible whole units with fixed faces, then manufacturing and storage are simplified, but flexibility and versatility are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The card is divided into multiple detachable components: a card base and multiple card content pieces. Each card content piece can be independently assembled onto the card base through assembly interfaces, allowing the card face to be customized by selecting different content pieces while maintaining simple manufacturing of individual components.
2Reliability
If card faces are made fixed and unalterable, then card integrity and reliability are maintained, but customization and interchangeability are prevented
Solution Approach 1:
The card structure transitions from a static fixed face to a dynamic reconfigurable face. Card content pieces can be detached and reattached through the assembly interfaces, allowing the card face to change configuration while maintaining structural integrity through the card base and interface design.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple card bases are used to provide variety, then card face diversity is achieved, but device complexity and resource consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
A single card base design serves multiple purposes by supporting various card content pieces through standardized assembly interfaces. This universal card base can be combined with different content pieces to create diverse card faces, eliminating the need for multiple specialized card bases while maintaining card face diversity.
4Adaptability or versatility
If card components are made detachable and interchangeable, then customization and versatility are improved, but assembly complexity and manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The assembly interfaces are designed with specific local features such as positioning structures and connection mechanisms that ensure precise alignment and secure attachment. These localized precision features are concentrated at the interface areas rather than requiring high precision throughout the entire card structure, making manufacturing more feasible.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides an assembled card toy, including a card base (8), and first card content pieces (1) and second card content pieces (2) assembled in a protruding manner on a front side of the card base (8), where a display surface (7) located on an unshielded front side of any one or more of the card base (8), the first card content pieces (1) and the second card content pieces (2) and excluding detachable interfaces forms part or all of a card face. In the present disclosure, the card face is formed by assembling the physical card content pieces, thereby reducing the number of card bases. Furthermore, the present disclosure enables separate anti-counterfeiting identification for different parts of a complete card, and expands the display dimension of card face information.
