Solution Overview

Problem

Existing commercial photo booths and pet housing systems are inadequate for taking high-quality solo photographs of pets due to difficulty in controlling pet movements and limited camera perspectives, necessitating professional studios and high costs.

Innovation Solution

A photographic device with adjustable camera angles, sound generation, and vibration features to control pet behavior, combined with multiple lenses for frontal and bottom views, allowing solo pet photography from various angles while maintaining pet comfort.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional photo booths with fixed camera lens positions are used, then frontal views can be captured, but it is not possible to change the composition of the shot to capture the pet from different perspectives

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecamera perspective varietyVSAvoidcamera system configuration
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The camera system is divided into multiple independent shooting units, each with a fixed lens position designed for specific perspectives (frontal, side, top-down views). Each shooting unit captures images from its predetermined angle, and the system combines these segmented perspectives to create comprehensive pet photographs without requiring complex adjustable mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The photo booth is designed as a multi-functional device that serves both conventional human photography and specialized pet photography needs. The shooting room accommodates both human operators and pet subjects, while the multiple shooting units provide universal coverage for various pet positions and poses, making the device adaptable to different photography scenarios without requiring separate specialized equipment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If pets are placed in conventional photo booths for solo photography, then pet images can be captured, but it is difficult to control the pet's movements to ensure a satisfactory composition

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepet movement controlVSAvoidphoto composition quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The shooting room is pre-configured with multiple shooting units positioned at optimal angles and heights for capturing pet photographs. The platform is designed with appropriate dimensions and surface characteristics to comfortably accommodate pets in various positions. This preliminary setup eliminates the need for real-time adjustment during photography, allowing pets to move naturally while still achieving satisfactory composition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary control mechanism that coordinates between the pet's natural movements and the camera capture. The multiple shooting units act as intermediaries, each capturing images from its fixed position regardless of pet movement, ensuring that at least one perspective achieves satisfactory composition without requiring direct control of the pet's actions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Manufacturing precision

If professional studios are visited for high-quality pet photos, then photo quality can be improved, but the cost increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvephoto qualityVSAvoidcost
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The photo booth is designed as a self-service device where users can independently operate the system to capture high-quality pet photographs without requiring professional photographers or studio staff. The automated shooting units, combined with user-friendly controls, enable owners to take professional-grade photos themselves, eliminating labor costs while maintaining photo quality through multiple predetermined shooting angles and professional-grade imaging equipment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
