Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices face poor photographing quality in low-light conditions due to inadequate light supplementation, and the provision of a flash hole in the decoration part compromises structural strength and protection of the flash module.

Innovation Solution

The electronic device incorporates multiple spaced-apart flash modules within an accommodating cavity in the decoration part, utilizing a transparent portion to project light externally while maintaining structural integrity and hiding the modules.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If a flash hole is provided in the decoration part to allow light output, then the light supplementing effect is improved, but the structural strength and protection of the flash module are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvelight supplementing effectVSAvoidstructural strength of decoration part

Core Design Contradiction:

Illumination intensityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The decoration part is segmented into a transparent portion and a non-transparent portion. The transparent portion allows light to pass through while maintaining structural integrity, eliminating the need for a separate flash hole. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by enabling light output without compromising the decoration part's strength.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The transparent portion acts as an intermediary element between the flash module and the external environment. It allows light to transmit from the flash module to the outside while providing structural support and protection, thus resolving the contradiction between light transmission and structural strength.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Illumination intensity

If a flash hole is provided in the decoration part, then light can be projected externally, but the protection and hiding of the flash module is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvelight projection capabilityVSAvoidprotection and hiding of flash module

Core Design Contradiction:

Illumination intensityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The decoration part is divided into transparent and non-transparent regions. The transparent portion enables light projection while the non-transparent portions continue to provide protection and aesthetic hiding for the flash module, resolving the contradiction between light output and protection.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The transparent portion serves as an intermediary that allows light to pass through while the surrounding non-transparent portions maintain the protective and aesthetic functions, eliminating the need for a separate flash hole that would compromise protection.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Illumination intensity

If multiple flash modules are spaced apart in the accommodating cavity, then the light supplementing effect is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvelight supplementing effectVSAvoidarrangement complexity of flash modules

Core Design Contradiction:

Illumination intensityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple flash modules are integrated into a single accommodating cavity within the decoration part, merging their functions into one structural unit. This combining approach improves light supplementing effect while managing complexity through unified design rather than separate assemblies.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The accommodating cavity serves multiple functions: it houses multiple flash modules, provides structural support, and integrates with the transparent portion to enable light output. This multi-functionality reduces overall device complexity despite having multiple flash modules.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
