Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
As wireless terminals evolve with increased functionalities due to 3G technology, they become larger and less convenient for users, who cannot selectively choose functional modules, leading to degraded user experience and increased purchasing costs.
Innovation Solution
A wireless terminal design featuring a top layer body, a bottom layer body, and at least one extending layer body connected in a stacked manner, allowing users to selectively combine functions by adding or removing modules as needed, using a rotating connection mechanism for easy assembly and disassembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If functional modules are continuously added to wireless terminal to support 3G and diversified functions, then the functional capabilities are improved, but the volume of the terminal becomes increasingly large
Solution Approach 1:
The wireless terminal is divided into a base terminal and multiple independent extending layers, each providing specific functions. Users can selectively attach only the needed extending layers to the base terminal, allowing functional customization without permanently increasing the terminal's base volume.
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal structure transitions from a static integrated design to a dynamic modular architecture where extending layers can be attached and detached. This allows the terminal volume to change based on functional needs - smaller when fewer extensions are attached, larger when more functions are required.
2Adaptability or versatility
If all functional modules are included in wireless terminal to provide diverse services, then the service coverage is improved, but the purchasing cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
Functions are segmented into separate extending layers that can be independently purchased and attached. Users only pay for the base terminal plus the specific extending layers they need, rather than paying for all possible functions regardless of usage.
Solution Approach 2:
Optional functional modules are extracted from the standard terminal and placed in separate extending layers. This allows users to take only the necessary functions they need, eliminating the need to purchase unnecessary functional modules.
3Ease of manufacture
If fixed functional configuration is used in wireless terminal, then the manufacturing simplicity is improved, but the user customization capability is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal is segmented into a standardized base terminal and interchangeable extending layers. The base terminal maintains simple fixed manufacturing, while customization is achieved through user selection of different extending layer combinations rather than custom manufacturing.
Solution Approach 2:
The base terminal is designed with universal compatibility to work with multiple types of extending layers. This allows a single base terminal design to support various function extensions through standardized interfaces, maintaining manufacturing simplicity while enabling customization.

AI summary
A wireless terminal in a wireless communication field is provided, which not only includes a top layer body and a bottom layer body, but also includes at least one extending layer body to provide an extending function. The extending layer body is connected in a stacked way to the top layer body or the bottom layer body. The extending function of the wireless terminal is realized through the extending layer body, so that the wireless terminal has powerful capabilities of extending and combining the functions.
