Solution Overview
Problem
Current display boards are not designed to integrate multimedia devices effectively, leading to instability, aesthetic issues, and difficulties in connecting accessories, when used in conjunction with multimedia devices in presentations and exhibitions.
Innovation Solution
A display board with an opening for a multimedia device, a receptacle for securing the device, and stabilizers to maintain board stability, along with ports for accessory cords, allowing for secure attachment and easy connection of devices while maintaining aesthetic appeal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a multimedia device is glued to a standard display board, then the device is attached to the board, but the board becomes unstable and the device is difficult to connect to accessory devices
Solution Approach 1:
The display board is divided into separate functional components: a receptacle structure for securing the multimedia device, distinct from the main board body. This segmentation allows the receptacle to provide secure attachment while the main board maintains its stability and portability.
Solution Approach 2:
A receptacle structure serves as an intermediary component between the multimedia device and the display board. This intermediary provides dedicated securing mechanisms and accessory connection points, resolving the contradiction between secure attachment and board stability.
2Ease of manufacture
If a multimedia device is glued to a standard display board, then the device is attached to the board, but aesthetic appeal is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
By separating the attachment function into a distinct receptacle component, the main display board surface remains clean and aesthetically pleasing, while the receptacle provides functional attachment capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The receptacle acts as an intermediary that hides the attachment mechanisms and accessory connections, presenting a cleaner, more aesthetically pleasing interface while maintaining full functionality.
3Ease of operation
If a multimedia device is placed separately on a table near the display board, then the device can be used, but the display is not unified and the device is not at eye level
Solution Approach 1:
The multimedia device is integrated into the display board structure through the receptacle, merging the digital display and static information display into a unified presentation system at the appropriate eye level.
Solution Approach 2:
The display board system becomes multi-functional, serving both as a traditional static information display and as an integrated multimedia presentation platform, enhancing versatility while maintaining display unity.
4Adaptability or versatility
If accessory cords are connected to a multimedia device attached to a display board, then the device has full functionality, but connection access becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The receptacle structure serves as an intermediary that provides dedicated access points and routing channels for accessory cords, allowing full device functionality while maintaining easy connection access.
Solution Approach 2:
Accessory connection points are positioned in three-dimensional space around the receptacle, allowing cords to be routed through or around the structure, providing easy access without compromising device functionality.
