Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional selfie sticks with telescopic structures are bulky, costly, and inconvenient to carry, making it difficult for users to take selfies with a mobile phone using one hand.

Innovation Solution

A photography assistant device featuring a handheld base with a clamping mechanism for mobile phones, a wireless remote controller, and an expandable function module that includes a mobile power supply, wireless charging, and baffle functions, allowing for single-handed operation without a telescopic rod, thus reducing volume and enhancing usability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Length of moving object

If a telescopic structure is used in the selfie stick to extend length, then the photography distance is improved, but the device volume and complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvephotography distanceVSAvoiddevice volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of moving objectVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The device is divided into a fixed base unit and a detachable selfie stick unit. The selfie stick can be separated from the base when not in use, reducing the volume of the carried device while maintaining extended length functionality when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The selfie stick uses a flexible gooseneck structure instead of a rigid telescopic mechanism, allowing dynamic positioning and angle adjustment without requiring complex extension mechanisms, thus maintaining compact size while achieving photography distance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Length of moving object

If a telescopic structure is used in the selfie stick to extend length, then the photography distance is improved, but the device complexity and production cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvephotography distanceVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The device is divided into a fixed base unit and a detachable selfie stick unit. The selfie stick can be separated from the base when not in use, reducing the volume of the carried device while maintaining extended length functionality when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The selfie stick uses a flexible gooseneck structure instead of a rigid telescopic mechanism, allowing dynamic positioning and angle adjustment without requiring complex extension mechanisms, thus maintaining compact size while achieving photography distance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Length of moving object

If a telescopic structure is used in the selfie stick to extend length, then the photography distance is improved, but the device becomes inconvenient to carry

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvephotography distanceVSAvoidportability
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of moving objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The device is divided into a fixed base unit and a detachable selfie stick unit. The selfie stick can be separated from the base when not in use, reducing the volume of the carried device while maintaining extended length functionality when needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The selfie stick uses a flexible gooseneck structure instead of a rigid telescopic mechanism, allowing dynamic positioning and angle adjustment without requiring complex extension mechanisms, thus maintaining compact size while achieving photography distance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

4Volume of moving object

If the handheld base is made compact for easy carrying, then the device volume is reduced, but the battery capacity is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice volumeVSAvoidbattery capacity
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The handheld base is designed with multi-functionality, serving as both a portable photography device and a power bank. It can charge the connected mobile phone via wireless charging or wired connection, providing energy supplementation without requiring large battery capacity for extended operation.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The device provides self-service charging capability through its power bank function. When the mobile phone is connected to the handheld base, the base automatically charges the phone, reducing the need for large battery capacity in the base itself.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

The present disclosure relates to a photography assistant device, including a handheld base convenient to be tightly grasped by hand; a clamping mechanism for clamping a mobile phone; a wireless remote controller provided with a camera button; and an expandable function module; the clamping mechanism is disposed on the handheld base, the wireless remote controller and the expandable function module are detachably disposed on the handheld base. When using the photography assistant device, the mobile phone is clamped on the clamping mechanism, the handheld base is held by hands, the camera button is pressed, and a single-hand photographing is realized. Due to a fact that there is no arrangement of the telescopic rod on the photography assistant device, the volume of the photography assistant device is small, which is convenient to carry.
