Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Indoor shooting games using BB bullets face issues with bullet dispersion, leading to a messy shooting range and high maintenance costs due to the need for constant bullet replacement, as the bullets scatter unpredictably and are difficult to recover.
Innovation Solution
A monitor device with a bullet dispersion prevention function, featuring an impact-absorbing shooting pad and a bullet dispersion prevention unit that collects bullets to one side, combined with a protective transparent pad to maintain a clean shooting environment and enable bullet reuse.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Force
If BB bullets are used for indoor shooting games, then users can feel a hitting sense when bullets hit targets, but bullets scatter unpredictably and become difficult to recover
Solution Approach 1:
A magnetic field is introduced as an intermediary force between the bullets and the collection mechanism. Magnets embedded in the frame and case generate magnetic fields that attract and guide ferromagnetic bullets along predetermined paths, mediating the bullets' motion from the shooting area to the collection area without direct mechanical intervention
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces mechanical bullet collection methods (such as manual gathering or vacuum systems) with a magnetic field-based system. The magnetic force field substitutes for mechanical forces, enabling automatic bullet guidance and collection through magnetic attraction rather than physical contact or mechanical manipulation
2Adaptability or versatility
If bullets are allowed to bounce freely, then shooting game excitement is maintained, but the shooting range becomes messy and maintenance costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The shooting range is segmented into distinct functional zones: a shooting area where bullets can bounce freely for game excitement, and a collection area where magnets gather the bullets. The frame and case create physical segments that guide bullet motion from one zone to another, allowing different behaviors in different spatial segments
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a vertical dimension to bullet collection by having magnets embedded in the frame and case that attract bullets downward and inward toward a collection tray or chamber. This vertical magnetic attraction component creates a three-dimensional bullet guidance system that collects bullets from horizontal bouncing trajectories
3Illumination intensity
If a transparent shooting pad is used, then the display device image is visible, but the pad may tear and allow bullets to damage the display device
Solution Approach 1:
A protective layer or reinforced structure is positioned between the transparent shooting pad and the display device to prevent damage. This cushioning or protective barrier is installed beforehand to absorb or deflect any bullets that penetrate the transparent pad, protecting the display device from direct impact
Solution Approach 2:
The transparent shooting pad is made from a durable, flexible transparent material that can withstand bullet impacts while maintaining optical clarity. The material properties are selected to balance transparency for display visibility with sufficient strength and tear resistance to prevent bullet penetration
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution effectively gathers bullets to a side, reducing maintenance costs and allowing for bullet reuse, while ensuring a safe and clean shooting range by preventing scattering and facilitating efficient collection.
Implementation Method 1
The bullet dispersion prevention unit may include a magnet on a side surface and may be attached to both side surfaces of the frame or the case.

AI summary
A monitor device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure has a bullet dispersion prevention function for a shooting game. The monitor device includes a frame coupled along a circumferential surface of the display apparatus and protruding out of a front surface of the display device, an impact-absorbing shooting pad coupled to an end of the protruding frame, formed to be transparent to show an image displayed on the display device, and configured to, when a bullet hits a hitting surface at an angle within a preset angle range from the vertical, absorb impact of the bullet so that the bullet hitting the hitting surface falls downward, and a bullet dispersion prevention unit configured to, when a bullet hits the impact-absorbing shooting pad at an angle exceeding the preset angle range from the vertical, enable the bullet to fall downward without being scattered outward.
