Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile computing device covers are limited in functionality, primarily providing protection from environmental shocks, and do not enhance the mobile computing device's ability to provide cloud computing services or facilitate direct, multi-mode, and multi-frequency wireless communication.
Innovation Solution
The Personal Cloud Cover Case (PCCC) integrates electronic components and functionalities, such as wireless charging, antenna arrays, and multi-frequency communication modules, enabling cloud computing services and direct peer-to-peer communication between devices using various wireless standards, including 3G, 4G, 5G, and mmWave frequencies.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a cover case is designed to provide protection from environmental shocks, then the device is protected from physical damage, but the cover case cannot provide additional functionality for cloud computing services or direct wireless communication
Solution Approach 1:
The cover case is designed to perform multiple functions: it provides physical protection while simultaneously serving as a wireless communication device with antenna arrays, processing units, and memory. The cover includes circuit boards with communication circuitry that enable it to function as both a protective case and an independent communication device, allowing it to establish wireless connections and exchange data with other devices.
2Reliability
If traditional communication methods are used, then devices can communicate through infrastructure networks, but direct peer-to-peer communication is not achieved and signal penetration in challenging environments is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The cover case acts as an intermediary communication device with antenna arrays that can directly transmit and receive signals. The antenna arrays are configured to work with processing units that handle signal processing, enabling the cover to mediate communication between devices and improve signal penetration through structured antenna designs that can overcome environmental challenges.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multi-frequency communication capabilities are added to the cover case, then direct wireless communication is enabled, but the device complexity and manufacturing difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The communication functionality is segmented into separate modules: antenna arrays for different frequency bands, processing units for signal handling, and memory for data storage. This segmentation allows each component to be manufactured and tested independently before assembly into the final cover case, simplifying the manufacturing process while maintaining multi-frequency communication capabilities.
