Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple mobile products are combined using a fixed fixing element, then the products are protected and held together, but the combination lacks flexibility and replaceability
Solution Approach 1:
The holding device is divided into multiple independent holding frames that can be separately assembled and disassembled. Each holding frame can independently hold a mobile product, and the frames are connected through connective elements that allow flexible reconfiguration. This segmentation enables both protection through combined holding and flexibility through independent module arrangement.
Solution Approach 2:
The connective elements incorporate dynamic connection mechanisms that allow the holding frames to be flexibly connected, disconnected, and reconfigured. The connection structure enables movement and adjustment between different holding frames, transforming a static fixed combination into a dynamic flexible assembly that can be adapted to different configurations.
2Ease of operation
If mobile products are carried individually, then each product is independently accessible, but carrying convenience and system integrity are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple holding frames are merged into a single integrated holding device through connective elements. Each mobile product remains in its own holding frame for independent accessibility, while the merged structure provides overall system integrity and unified carrying convenience. The connective elements maintain the structural connection between frames.
3Volume of moving object
If a tablet PC is used alone, then it has good portability, but screen visibility is blocked when the user's finger covers part of the screen
Solution Approach 1:
The holding device extends the functionality beyond the two-dimensional tablet screen by incorporating a third holding frame that can display additional information or controls. This dimensional expansion allows users to access functions and information in alternative spatial arrangements, improving screen visibility and operational ease while maintaining the portability of the tablet itself.

AI summary
A holding device for mobile products includes a first holding frame and a second holding frame, and the first holding frame is provided for holding a first mobile product and the second holding frame is provided for holding a second mobile product. The first holding frame and the second holding frame are configured to be electrically connected by a wire connection or a wireless connection. When the first holding frame and the second holding frame are holding the first and second mobile products respectively, the mobile products can be electrically connected through the first holding frame and the second holding frame to add functionality to each of the mobile products.
