Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The Nintendo Switch Console's 'TV mode' provides high picture quality but requires an indoor power supply, limiting portability, while 'handheld mode' sacrifices picture quality, making it difficult to enjoy both simultaneously.
Innovation Solution
A modular gamepad connector that integrates a gamepad, display screen, and multifunctional component with the Switch console, allowing it to operate in both 'TV mode' and 'handheld mode' with battery power, enabling portable high-quality gaming.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If the Switch console is used in TV mode with a display device, then picture quality is improved, but portability deteriorates due to requirement of indoor power supply
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the display screen, battery power supply, and gamepad into an integrated portable display device that merges the functions of TV mode and handheld mode, allowing the console to enjoy high picture quality while maintaining portability without requiring indoor power supply
Solution Approach 2:
The portable display device acts as an intermediary between the Switch console and traditional TV displays, providing a self-contained power supply and display system that enables TV mode functionality while maintaining portability
2Adaptability or versatility
If the Switch console is used in handheld mode, then portability is improved, but picture quality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the handheld mode console with a high-quality display screen and battery system, creating an integrated device that delivers TV mode picture quality while maintaining handheld portability
3Illumination intensity
If a portable display monitor is carried to travel and play, then picture quality is improved, but the need for indoor power supply remains
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the power supply requirement from the external environment by integrating a battery system into the portable display device, eliminating the need for indoor power supply while maintaining high picture quality
Solution Approach 2:
The portable display device is designed with universal functionality to operate independently of external power sources, serving as a complete self-contained system that provides both display and power functions
