Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing neck-hanging selfie photography supports are hindered by headwear and glasses, causing discomfort and instability when worn by users.
Innovation Solution
A neck-hanging selfie photography support device with a flexible first and second neck-surrounding part that can switch between a neck-hanging state and a selfie state, using magnetic and buckle structures for secure attachment and detachment, allowing easy adjustment and secure holding of photographic equipment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a strap is used to hang the device around the user's neck, then the device can be carried and operated during shooting, but the strap is affected by headwear and headpieces, causing placement issues
Solution Approach 1:
The neck-surrounding part is divided into a first neck-surrounding part and a second neck-surrounding part that can be separated. This segmentation allows the device to adapt to different wearing scenarios - when no headwear is present, both parts are used together; when headwear is worn, only one part needs to be used, avoiding interference with hats and headpieces while maintaining carrying functionality.
2Ease of operation
If a strap is used to hang the device around the user's neck, then the device can be carried during shooting, but glasses are prone to falling off due to collision by the strap
Solution Approach 1:
By dividing the neck-surrounding part into two separate parts that can be independently configured, the device allows users to adjust the strap configuration to avoid collision with glasses. When wearing glasses, users can position only one neck-surrounding part or adjust its position to clear the glasses area, eliminating the harmful collision effect while maintaining carrying capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The flexible and separable design of the two neck-surrounding parts allows dynamic adjustment of their position and configuration. Users can adapt the strap arrangement in real-time based on whether they are wearing glasses, headwear, or neither, optimizing comfort and avoiding harmful collisions in different scenarios.
3Ease of operation
If the neck-surrounding parts are made flexible for comfort, then the device is comfortable to wear, but the structural stability for supporting photographic equipment may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The neck-surrounding parts are designed to be flexible for comfort during wearing, but can be rigidized when needed for equipment support. The flexibility allows comfortable contact with the neck skin, while the inherent structural properties enable the parts to provide stable support when holding photographic equipment, achieving both comfort and stability requirements.
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
Facilitates comfortable and stable operation for users, enabling secure attachment and easy conversion between wearing and carrying modes, while maintaining equipment stability for selfies.
Implementation Method 1
an end portion of the first neck-surrounding part is provided with a first magnetic element and a buckling piece, and an end portion of the second neck-surrounding part is provided with a second magnetic element and a buckling groove; in the neck-hanging state, the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element match each other in a magnetic manner

AI summary
Disclosed is a neck-hanging selfie photography support device, including a neck-buckling body. An equipment holder, a flexible first neck-surrounding part and a flexible second neck-surrounding part are arranged on the neck-buckling body. In a neck-hanging state, the first neck-surrounding part and the second neck-surrounding part are detachably fixed, and a neck-hanging space is formed by enclosing the first neck-surrounding part and the second neck-surrounding part. In a selfie state, the first neck-surrounding part and the second neck-surrounding part bend towards each other until the first neck-surrounding part and the second neck-surrounding part are arranged side by side, and the first neck-surrounding part and the second neck-surrounding part collectively form a support rod structure. The neck-hanging selfie photography support device is capable of switching between the neck-hanging state and the selfie state, and better meeting users' photography needs.
