Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional computer devices occupy large desktop areas and have limited expansion capabilities, restricting workspace and aesthetics in offices, while all-in-one computers face challenges in easy expansion.
Innovation Solution
A computer device design featuring a base with a power module, a detachable host case, and a display support that can be used as a partition, allowing for flexible expansion with additional modules to address space and expansion limitations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If a conventional computer device is disposed in an office, then the computer can perform its computing functions, but it occupies a large desktop area resulting in limited workspace and impact on office appearance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions the computer device from a horizontal desktop occupation to a vertical wall-mounted configuration. The bracket structure enables mounting on vertical surfaces, effectively moving the device into the vertical dimension and freeing up horizontal desktop space for other workspace needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The display is extracted from the traditional integrated desktop computer configuration and separated into an independently mountable component. This allows the display to be positioned on vertical surfaces while the computer host remains on the desktop, separating the space occupation functions.
2Area of stationary object
If a conventional all-in-one computer device is used to reduce desktop space, then the desktop area is freed up, but the expansion of the computer host becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The computer system is segmented into separate functional modules: the computer host, the display, and the bracket structure. This modularization allows the display to be independently mounted on vertical surfaces while the host remains on the desktop, enabling both space savings and future expansion of either component without affecting the other.
Solution Approach 2:
The bracket structure serves multiple functions: it mounts the display on vertical surfaces, provides cable management channels, and offers adjustable positioning. This multi-functionality enables the display to adapt to various mounting locations and configurations while maintaining full functionality.
3Area of stationary object
If the computer device is mounted on a wall or partition using the bracket, then desktop space is optimized, but the device becomes fixed and harder to reposition
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket incorporates adjustable and detachable mounting mechanisms that allow the display to be repositioned between different wall locations or removed entirely. The dynamic mounting system balances secure fixation for space optimization with the flexibility to reconfigure when needed.
