Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional tissue cases occupy significant space on dining tables and make them appear cluttered when combined with other items like clocks and calendars.
Innovation Solution
A digital tissue storage box equipped with displays, sensors, and a processor that integrates functions such as a clock, calendar, and frame, allowing user interaction and environmental sensing to optimize display configurations based on user input and environmental conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple items (tissue case, clock, calendar, frame) are placed separately on the dining table, then each item can perform its specific function, but the table space is occupied and the table looks crowded
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple previously separate items (tissue case, clock, calendar, frame) into a single integrated device. The tissue case body houses display units that show clock time, calendar information, and framed images, merging these functions into one unit that occupies minimal table space while providing versatile functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The tissue case is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: it stores tissues, displays time through a clock function, shows calendar dates, and presents framed images. This multi-functional design allows a single device to replace several separate items, reducing clutter while maintaining adaptability.
2Area of stationary object
If a tissue case is used alone, then it occupies minimal space, but it cannot provide additional functions like clock, calendar, or frame display
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates clock, calendar, and frame display functions within the tissue case body. The display units are incorporated into the existing tissue case structure, allowing these additional functions to be added without significantly increasing the overall space occupation beyond the original tissue case footprint.
3Reliability
If multiple separate items are placed on the table, then each item can be optimized for its specific function, but the overall device complexity and number of components increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple functions into a single integrated structure with a unified power source and control system. Rather than having separate batteries and power supplies for each item (clock, calendar, frame), the tissue case provides a common power source that supplies energy to all display units, reducing the total number of components while maintaining functional reliability.
