Movable Carrier Platform for Ergonomic Mobile Game Controllers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional game handles for mobile devices cause hand soreness due to prolonged use as they only serve the function of holding the device, making it difficult for users to play games for extended periods comfortably.
Innovation Solution
A control device with two handles, a connection structure, a support structure, a moving mechanism, and a movable module that allows the electronic device to be moved forward or backward relative to the handles, adjusting the center of gravity and enabling comfortable postures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the control device uses a fixed carrier platform to hold the electronic device, then the device structure is simple, but the user experiences hand soreness during extended use
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a movable carrier platform that can shift position along the control device axis through a moving mechanism. This dynamic structure allows the center of gravity to be adjusted, enabling users to find comfortable holding positions during extended use, thereby resolving the contradiction between operational comfort and structural simplicity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the carrier platform is fixed relative to the control handles, then the device complexity is low, but the user cannot adjust their grip position for extended comfort
Solution Approach 1:
The carrier platform is designed to move relative to the control handles along the axis direction through a moving mechanism. This dynamic configuration provides adaptability for different grip positions while maintaining reasonable structural complexity through the use of guide rails and elastic restoring forces.
3Duration of action of moving object
If the electronic device is held in a fixed position on the carrier platform, then the holding structure is simple, but the user develops soreness after prolonged use
Solution Approach 1:
The movable carrier platform enables the electronic device position to be dynamically adjusted during use. Users can shift the platform to maintain ergonomic grip positions, extending the comfortable duration of operation and preventing hand soreness that would occur with fixed positioning.
