Mouse Pad Fixation Portion for 3D Decorative Object Attachment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mouse pads lack decorative appeal, stylishness, and interaction capabilities with peripheral devices, failing to meet user requirements for visual appeal and connectivity.
Innovation Solution
A mouse pad design featuring a mat part with a fixation portion for removably attaching a 3D decorative object, which can include magnetic, light-emitting, or interactive elements, enhancing aesthetic appeal and connectivity with peripheral devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If conventional flat mouse pad design is used, then manufacturing simplicity is maintained, but decorative appeal and visual appeal are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from a conventional flat two-dimensional mouse pad to a three-dimensional structure by adding a fixation portion that protrudes from the mat part. This dimensional change allows the mouse pad to support 3D decorative objects, thereby improving decorative appeal and visual appeal while maintaining manufacturing simplicity through the integrated fixation portion design.
2Shape
If a 3D fixation portion is added to the mouse pad, then decorative appeal and visual appeal are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The fixation portion is merged with the mat part as an integrated structure, combining the base support function with the 3D decorative object attachment function. This merging approach adds decorative capability without requiring separate complex components, thereby improving decorative appeal while minimizing the increase in device complexity.
3Device complexity
If conventional flat mouse pad is used, then device simplicity is maintained, but interaction capability with peripheral devices is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The fixation portion is designed with universal adaptability to support various types of 3D decorative objects, including those with light-emitting elements, electronic photo frames, and game character figures. This multi-functional design enables the mouse pad to interact with different peripheral devices and enhance user experience without significantly increasing device complexity.
4Shape
If 3D decorative objects with electronic elements are added, then visual appeal and interaction capability are improved, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mouse pad system is segmented into distinct components: the mat part, the fixation portion, and the removable 3D decorative objects. This segmentation allows electronic elements to be integrated only into the decorative objects rather than the entire mouse pad, thereby improving visual appeal and interaction capability while keeping the base manufacturing process simple and modular.
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 mouse pad becomes more visually appealing and interactive, allowing for enhanced user experience through the attachment of decorative objects that can emit light, interact with games, or provide additional functionality, such as signal communication and data exchange.
Implementation Method 1
the fixation portion includes a magnetic component and a non-magnetic component
